Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. Adolescents and young adults between the ages of 12 and 24 tend to be the most affected group.
Typically people outgrow acne, but about 12% of women and 3% of men may still have acne well into their 40’s.
Acne can have both physical and psychological effects, so it is Important to understand how it can be treated.
Simply put, acne is inflammation of one’s skin pores which consist of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands that are most commonly located on the face, back and chest. The cause of this inflammation is related to abnormal skin processes including increased oil production from sebaceous glands, change in hormone levels and over growth of bacteria.
There are 2 general kinds of Acne:
The healthier your diet, the healthier your body is in general, which leads to healthier skin overall.
Some cosmetics may worsen acne. Healthy options include using Cosmetics that are “non-comedogenic”. Also, clean and replace applicators often.
Squeezing or “Popping” pimples can aggravate the area and cause more inflammation, which then leads to scarring. Avoid this habit At All Costs!
If it seems that certain foods trigger breakouts, avoid eating them. Reach for fresh food for better, overall health.
Avoid touching your face which can increase oiliness, irritate your skin and encourage the growth of bacteria.
Keep oily hair off your face. Do not use a washcloth or sponge to cleanse your face. Be gentle with your skin and use non-abrasive cleanser.
Treatments: Salicylic Acid, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Retinoids and Vitamin A-based Creams work to unclog hair follicles.
