I have read with a tinge of sadness
I have read with a tinge of sadness the numerous articles about acne. My sadness stems from the fact that many don t seem to get it. But I ll say it one more time because it is that important.
Acne originates from diet. There I said it again.
The foundation from which acne makes it appearance stems from diet. I say this again, you are what you eat. Its as simple as that. Our problem could be that we are missing the forest because there are too many trees.
Don t look for the complex explanation for why acne makes its appearance. Look to the simple explanation first.
If your light bulb goes out when you re in bed reading, do you immediately call the electrician? No of course you don t. You check to see whether the bulb has blown first. If the bulb is intact, then you check the fuse box right?
Why are we so bent on finding some complex explanation for the cause of acne. Its staring you right in the face.
Understand this; if you sit down to a daily meal of hamburger and french fries, what do you expect to happen? You are supposed to eventually get acne.
Grease and dead meat?
What else do you expect?
The amount of cholesterol in that meal is transferred to your body. It goes to work, slowly but surely setting you up for heart disease, cancer, stroke etc.
Its all in your diet!
Whenever acne rears its ugly whiteheads, the rot has already set in. Acne is a sign of poor food choices. Acne is a certain barometer that the internal body chemistry is unbalanced.
A friend of mine was explaining to me recently how people got acne. He essentially said that the body has a hormone called, (glad I m writing this), dihydro-testosterone, or more simply DHT. He also told me that everyone has oil glands under the skin. We re on the same page so far.
He went on to tell me that acne occurs when the oil glands under the skin secretes so much oil that the oil clogs the pores.
This DHT is the bad boy in the chain reaction because it over stimulates the oil glands. They in turn produce too much oil, from the over stimulation.
Once the pores are sufficiently blocked and clogged, whiteheads and blackheads and pimples erupt into acne. So the trick then, is to control DHT isn t it?
At this juncture, I am unsure of the drug used for tackling DHT. In all honesty I don t even know if there is such a drug.
Before I go any further, my hat is off to the fine researchers who sleuthed this entire scenario. I m a firm believer that acne erupts this way. Far be it from me to disbelieve the scientists. They have so much more education than me.
I do have a question though?
When do they advise to take this acne wonder drug?
When acne appears? In that case it s a bit late.
If they advise to take it on a consistent basis, then I must seriously ask about the side effects?
My friends, lets stop the games, the solution lies in diet.
Look, DHT over stimulates the oil glands in the first place because there is an internal imbalance that needs to be addressed. Address the internal imbalance and DHT will do what it s rightly supposed to do.
I take the view that we are wonderfully created. No mistakes, and certainly no imbalances. If there is an imbalance, we need to look at what we re doing.

Rosacea is not a rosy state of affairs for your face. It has the appearance of bad acne. It normally selects cheeks, the best part of your face, for its unpleasant operation. You have severe redness and soaring of the skin. Mouth and forehead are the other favorite spots for rosacea. Even the best of acne treatments prescribed can not assure you of a permanent rosacea cure.
This is another pro-women disease. It attacks women more than the men. Normally it visits you after the age of 30, but this is not the thumb rule. It can surprise you at any time. Moreover this skin culprit is hereditary in nature.
Since its presence is very strong, visible and prominent, it may lead you to an awkward situation. There is no definite cure for rosacea. But several treatment options can be tried. So always take a final decision about the treatment in consultation with your dermatologist only.
Correct diagnosis in suspected case of rosacea is necessary, to find out whether it is actually rosacea. If it actually is, the dermatologist will decide the line of treatment suitable to the type of your rosacea attack.
Till date, pulsed light technology or laser technology is considered as the best treatment for rosacea. Rosacea causes redness of the skin. Laser heats the skin to the level that reduces or eliminates the redness. Most of the over the counter products do not go well with its treatment. So the best person to decide upon the right rosacea treatment for you is your dermatologist.
What is agonizing about rosacea is that it appears not as one to one cyst. It is characterized by reddish discoloration of the facial skin, the targeted areas being cheeks, nose and the forehead.
Since it targets the fair-skinned people more, its presence is prominently exhibited. Along with rosacea, pimples too may make their presence, but no whiteheads or blackheads will appear. Some of the implications of rosacea are frightening.
Initially, redness comes and goes, as if rosacea is doing rehearsals. Treat it at this stage itself, otherwise you are inviting more damage to your facial skin. Puffy cheeks and disfigurement of the nose are not uncommon, if you neglect the treatment.
In such a situation, cosmetic surgery is the only alternative. Severe cases of rosacea can even impair your vision. You are lucky, if your dermatologist is able to identify the root cause of your rosacea condition, in the first stage of attack. This is only possible when you report to your dermatologist in the first stage of its attack. So don t keep sitting to ignore the red soars on your cheeks.

Acne scar treatment options
Having acne is not the only problem that is posing major threats to teens and adults alike. Scarring of this acne can also be a serious problem. When this happens, you need some effective and affordable acne scar treatment.
Scars from acne can have a serious effect on a person's self-esteem and emotional state. Fortunately there have been advances in the treatment of acne-related scarring in recent years. However, it is important to note that nothing will completely heal most scars.
Laser Therapy - Using lasers for acne scar treatment is a relatively new technology, but is one of the most effective options for severe cases. The lasers remove the scarred skin, and encourage growth of new skin in its place. After treatment, the skin will be pink and swollen for a week or so Laser scar treatment can be expensive, but may be appropriate for severe cases.
Surgical Therapy - This form of acne scar treatment uses a motorized blade, which usually contains diamond particles. Diamonds are extremely strong abrasives when in a powder-form. A scab will form once the procedure is completed. Once it is healed, a smoother pink layer of new skin is underneath. Multiple treatments are often necessary, and each one can cost $1500.
Creams and Gels - There are many topical treatments that claim to reduce the appearance of scars. Many contain Vitamin E and other nutrients. Results with topical ointments like this will vary from person to person.
Collagen Injection - This is a temporary fix, where the patient's own body fat or collagen is injected into the scar site. This works well for some people with deep scars. The material injected serves to raise the skin, and reduce the scar s appearance, and wrinkling from the scar. However, this procedure needs to be repeated every 6 months and can be expensive.
Lack of hormones during later years and especially for women, can play a role in acne scar treatment and prevention.
One recent study showed that about 50 percent of women have acne, referred to as hormonal acne, problems during the week before their menstruation. Treatment options can include topical retinoids, oral antibiotics and Benzoyl Peroxide for teen years.
On into adult years, some acne scar treatment includes oral contraceptives or hormonal birth control pills and hormonal replacement therapy for women, combined with systemic or topical treatments, prescription or over-the-counter products and medications, and antibiotics for both sexes.
A healthy skin regimen should include no harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil in respond to skin s dehydration.
Products with gentle exfoliation ingredients are good acne scar treatment.
Skip alcohol products can take off the top layer of your skin and cause your glands to product more oil, clogging pores in the process.
If you do spot acne-troubled areas, do not handle it harshly with them. Remember that these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or picking blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, further troubling the region and possibly leave a scar.
If necessary, seek help from a dermatologist for alternative acne scar treatments.
Acne scars can cause further infection because the skin is open for bacteria. It is best to avoid developing acne scars by proper skin handling or if you already have them, have an effective acne scar treatment.

What Can I Use To Cover My Acne?
There are several very good products available to cover the discoloration/blemish from acne. You might have noticed that purple or red colors are almost impossible to camouflage. To get the best concealer for acne lesions, it is important to find a product that closely matches your natural skin tone and does not clog your pores.
Iredale Mineral Cosmetics carries a wonderful product that is an extremely fine powder of micro-pulverized rock or mineral. It comes in different colors to match normal skin tones. This product contains no oil or talcum, and provides up to SPF-60 sun protection factor from UVA and UVB rays.
A second product that covers blemishes quite well is called "Total Block." This is a liquid used to cover the entire facial area. It has some pigment that can be added to balance out normal skin tones. This product works well for covering blemishes and it has an excellent sun protection factor, although it may have some oiliness.

Why Do We Get Acne?
Natural Labor Induction

Natural Pet Health
Natural Hormone Replacement
-
From a medical standpoint, one who gets acne has a combination of factors working in concert. Two or more factors can cause a condition based on the anatomy and physiology of the skin itself to promote an inflammatory response that we call acne.
The factors of getting acne include:
Increased oil - either production by the sebaceous glands or added (in makeup etc.)
Retention Keratosis - skin cells that are not shed properly and plug sebaceous ducts
Trapped bacteria under the skin's surface - normally present and harmless as they are on the surface.
Genetics can play a part in getting acne because our genetic blueprint does influence thickness of skin, oily tendencies of the skin and basic hormone responses. However, just because your parents or other family members have acne, it does not necessarily mean that you will too.
Getting acne usually occurs in the teenage years may even appear a few days after birth. But, this is more often related to increased activity in the hormone processes within the skin and generally disappears relatively quickly. People can also develop adult acne, which in most cases is caused by hormonal changes. Although there are many different causes of acne, the same basic factors of plugging an oil gland occur in the development of the inflammatory process that causes breakouts.

Acne happens to nearly every one of us at some point in our lives. It's so common that anywhere from 75 to 80% of people between the ages of 15 and 35 have skin problems.
The rise in over the counter remedies has risen dramatically and while some work for some people, many of us are forced to seek professional help from dermatologists.
In some cases, lotions and soaps, specifically those that contain Benzoyl peroxide can eliminate bacteria.
Sometimes antibiotics will be used along with products like Accutane which can help keep skin pores open and minimize any scarring.
Contrary to popular belief, just washing your face often may not be enough. Zits actually form when hair follicles get clogged up and this blocks the skin's oil elimination route.
This oil called sebum, and it's excretion, can be increased in some individuals due to genetics and may also rise during puberty.
Under the skin, blocked sebum creates a perfect breeding ground for bacteria and this can cause inflammation which ultimately culminates into pimples.
By all means, it's not a bad thing to wash your face and try to keep it clean. Just don't overdo it since this can cause more problems.
There has always been a debate about chocolate and it's effects on your skin. Experts are still undecided on just how diet might affect the health of the skin, but more and more are leaning towards an overall healthy diet which can positively influence the entire body.
Drinking plenty of good clean water can help flush out toxins from the body as well as from the skin. If your diet has been rather poor before, you may see an increase in the sebum excretion for a time. If your able to follow a good diet and drink plenty of water you should see things improve after a few days.
It really needs to be kept in mind that not all remedies will work for every person. What works for one, may not work for another. With this in mind, it's important to try different options until you find a solution.
Be sure to use common sense and discretion when dealing with non-prescription products. If you continue to have problems it would then be a good idea to seek out help from a dermatologist.
Finally, it's also good to keep in mind that you should let nature run it's course and not pick or squeeze a zit if you get one. There is always a strong urge to get rid of them as fast as possible but this usually just aggravates and prolongs the problem.

The number of over-the-counter products available for the prevention and treatment of acne are numerous. Some of these products have been developed to reduce the chances of the development of acne by including substances designed to unclog the pores. There are also cleansers, which are designed to do a simple job - cleanse the skin and remove excess oils and dirt to help control breakouts. While it's true that some over-the-counter products are somewhat helpful for the treatment of acne, it's also true that some of these could harm your skin.
Among the most popular products used to cleanse the skin is soap. Although this product might be helpful for some people, it also can aggravate the acne afflicted areas depending on your skin type, skin sensitivity, and actual acne condition. So, if you plan to use a cleanser it is very important that you get one that will work best with your skin type, skin sensitivity, and acne condition. This will help you avoid further irritation to your skin and will promote faster healing. For instance, if your skin is oily, it is recommended you use soaps that are practically oil-free, as products containing a substantial amount of oil will add oil to your skin, causing the pores to become clogged and subsequent breakouts to occur. On the other hand, if you have sensitive skin, you'd better stay away from fragrant soaps for the chemicals in them can cause breakouts too.
Another popular over-the-counter product that can cause negative effects on your acne condition is cosmetics. It has been reported that certain makeup products contain chemicals that can cause breakouts. This is due to the clogging of the pores and irritation of the skin produced by these products. So, if you didn't know about this, you might want to find out what is in your cosmetic products from now on. This is especially true in the case that recently you've been suffering more breakouts than normal or if you've been feeling something is irritating your skin. The answer to all of this might be in your cosmetics. Nowadays, you can easily find lots of information about the cosmetic products you buy - about its ingredients, what they should be used for, and even the skin type it works best on! With all this information, there's no reason why you shouldn't find some good cosmetics for your skin. However, you must get those that won't worsen your acne. The recommended cosmetics for acne sufferers are cosmetics that are non-cometigenic. These cosmetics won't clog your pores.
Again, keep in mind to always choose your acne products carefully. If you'd like to be consistent, you might even want to try sticking to one brand for your daily regimen. When you use a specific line of products that has been designed to work together it will help you promote healing and prevention in the same way. Avoid harsh, over-the-counter products that can irritate your skin. And don't forget that, in case any product irritates your skin simply stop its use immediately and find one that doesn't. As an ultimate solution, consult a physician if the use of over-the-counter hygiene products isn't doing the trick.
When washing your skin, always do it gently. But never over wash your skin as this can cause it to become irritated and breakouts to occur. No matter how hard you try but simply over washing your skin will not remove any more dirt and oil but will only cause irritation. Also, stop squeezing your pimples. The only thing you'll accomplish if you pinch your pimples is to cause the bacteria to go deeper within the skin. And this in turn will cause the area around the pimple to become irritated and inflamed. To alleviate the problem and bring out the pus, the best solution is to cleanse the area and use a toner instead.

Acne and hormones-
Acne is caused by the excess production of sebaceous glands. These glands also begin shedding more dead cells at the same time and block the gland forming acne. Hormones control all these. Can we not do anything about them to keep acne away? Let us find out.
Hormonal changes-
We undergo lot of hormonal changes during our puberty. The male hormones- androgens that are found both in males and females cause excess production of sebum. These hormones are found in much lesser quantity in women. After puberty, women undergo lot many hormonal changes during pregnancy and because of birth control pills. But men do not experience these hormonal changes.
What about adult acne?
It is accepted that women may get acne because of hormones in adult hood, but why do men get acne in adulthood? There must be some associated hormonal change or some other reason.
Acne in adult men-
Men do not undergo hormonal changes after puberty for many years. There is something called male menopause, but one does not hear of men getting acne at that age. Why people still keep on getting acne? It seems that in some men the hormones remain actively changing for a longer period and they have some tendency to form acne at a later age also. One must consult the doctor to find out about what can be done to control hormones to stop acne formation.
