READ ME** I grew up with horrible acne and eczema to learn that trying too many acne treatment products can over dry and leave my skin looking unhealthy. Having oily skin means your pores are thirsty and will over produce sebum (oil) that can cause, and environment for bacteria to grow into a pimple so the secret is to moisturize! Over time, I learn how to manage my skin with simple acne treatment ingredients, pharmaceutical knowledge, and when to use them properly. This is my daily skin care routine video and what I do to get rid of zits for sensitive, acne prone, slowing down the aging process, and oily combination skin. I will be starting my skincare educational series to be more specific with skin types and more. Please feel free to comment any request.

RebelChicka asked: ive had acne since i was about 12 or 13, and its gotten more severe as ive gotten older (im 18 now)
ive been on so many different meds, ive tried OTC stuff, ive tried proactive…NOTHING works.
some mornings, i dont even want to get out of bed. it just makes me feel so awful about myself.

Esteri Maina asked:
You will be surprised with the number of products in the market for Acne Treatment? They leave you even confused wondering of the best treatment for Acne. Most of them are not even scientifically proven. Most successful treatments do not work magically in that you apply today and withing a week the acne disappears! Not at all. Acne treatment is actually a process and for you to successfully treat Acne do not jump for those cheap offers available in the market before being sure of what you are especting or consulting a doctor just like you would do for any other deffect.
However some treatments can give quick results and improve some active spots but not usually all spots. The modes of improvement are not necessarily fully understood but we can classify the treatments in different ways. Normalising shedding into the pore to prevent blockage, Antinflammatory effects, Hormonal manipulation, Killing of propionibacterium acne bacteria which are ways of treatment based on the cause of Acne.
In many cases, a combination of treatments can greatly reduce the amount and severity of acne . Those treatments that are most effective tend to have greater potential for side effects and need a greater degree of monitoring, so a step by step approach recommended. Many people consult their doctors when deciding which treatments to use, especially when considering using any treatments in combination.
There are a number of treatments that have been proven effective. These examples are like Topical bactericidals which are widely available OTC bactericidal products containing benzoyl peroxide and may be used in mild to moderate acne. Others are Topical antibiotics which are Externally applied, Oral Antibiotics, Hormonal treatments especially in women through some contraceptions. Topical retinoids which are a group of medications for normalizing the follicle cell lifecycle can also be used. Also Oral retinoids (a daily oral intake of vitamin A), phototherapy, laser treatment and not forgetting the natural acne treatments. This is just light pass of minute information that you need to kick acne out of your life.
Keeping your skin clean is very important in preventing acne. By keeping your skin clean, using either cleansers or just plain soap and water, excess dirt, oil and sweat are removed which would otherwise have clogged up skin pores causing pimples.However over washing is to be avoided as it removes the natural oils necessary for ensuring the skin doesn’t become irritated. Gentle soaps or acne cleansers can also be used to prevent acne.
A person with acne should desist from popping the pimples. Though this is assumed to get rid of the infectious pus,in reality it pushes the bacteria deeper into the skin and causes irritation round the area. A skin toner is a better solution for dealing with the pimples. Avoiding stressful situation prevents acne breakouts to those people who experience breakouts when stressed. Plenty of rest and eating right puts one in the right frame of mind.
To avoid back and chest acne, lose clothing is recommended. Tight clothing aggravates acne and may increase breakouts. This is because tight clothing traps sweat close to the skin, which leads to clogging of skin pores. Please, take my advice. Do not use any treatment products without knowledge of how it works. Get enough advice from your doctor on how to treat Acne and do not be in a hurry to treat Acne because it may worsen the situation. Acne will not disappear tomorrow for applying a treating cream on to your skin. Please give it time and follow the directions well.
