Save my face from acne and breakouts!

2009-05-09T21:40:00.000-07:00

"ACNE ISN’T JUST THE ZIT THAT INFURIATINGLY APPEARS OUT OF NOWHERE TO MAR YOUR GROWN-UP FACE AND DRIVE YOU CRAZY. “ACNE IS A MULTIPHASE CONDITION THAT NEEDS A MULTI-PHASE APPROACH,” SAYS DEBRA LUFTMAN, M.D.

Stop those myths! Face the facts:

In a recent study, stress was shown to increase breakouts. When you’re under stress, your body produces stress hormones such as cortisol. Studies show this primary stress hormone can stimulate an over-production of oil from the sebaceous glands in the skin. When this excess oil mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria, it can cause acne to develop or become worse. This can, in turn, lead to more stress, plunging you into a stress-acne cycle. To counteract the effects of stress, you may take products which helps your body modulate healthy levels of cortisol.

Does eating chocolate give you zits? What about stress? Or the weather? You only have a breakout here and there so you don’t have acne, right? It’s time to reveal the truth about breakouts. While it’s a myth that chocolate causes pimples, stress can aggravate your skin. By kicking off the release of androgens—hormones that produce a sticky oil in hair follicles—stress can be the culprit behind breakouts weeks before they surface. As far as the weather goes, breakouts are more likely to occur on hot, humid days because your skin can be aggravated by heat and friction. And yes, even one pimple is considered acne. It actually takes about two weeks for acne to reach the surface of the skin. That’s why, when you start treating acne, it’s normal to see flare-ups. Usually you won’t start to see results until the third or fourth week. For this reason it’s important to be patient with a new acne treatment regimen.

Acne begins when hair follicles get plugged by sebum, an oily substance made by your skin. In those who are acne prone, this oil gets trapped in the narrow follicle, causing cells to clump and form a plug—phase one of a blemish. Phase two occurs when bacteria, which love the air-tight environment created by the plug, start feeding and breeding inside the pores. The body responds by sending white blood cells to fight these bacterial invaders. This results in phase three: inflammation—small pink bumps, pimples, and sometimes nodules and cysts. It is this inflammation that results in scarring, dark marks, and discoloration. When does acne stop? Most people see their acne improve as they get older. However, some people don’t get acne until they are in their 20s, 30s, or even 40s. The bad news is some of the effects of past acne can last a lifetime. The good news is breakouts and the signs of past acne can be treated with the help of modern science so everyone can enjoy clear, healthy skin. :-)

Even if you’re not currently struggling with the effects of breakouts on your skin, you probably know many people who are. That’s because acne will affect nearly 80 percent of us at some point in our lives. And the effects of breakouts go well beyond just the blemishes of the moment, leaving remnant marks and textural changes that rob skin of its healthy look and vitality. There’s even reason to believe that as skin fights acne, it ages at an accelerated rate. These effects can be experienced by both teens and adults alike. In fact, an increasing number of adults are now arriving in dermatologists’ clinics with oral contraceptives,stress, menopause, environmental exposure, cosmetic ingredients, and improper cleansing procedures late-onset acne. Some of the causes can be attributed to the following:

Does diet affect acne breakouts? No. The oil in food has nothing to do with sebum on the skin. However, if you touch your face after touching oily food, a blemish could surface. Blemishes are caused by a hair follicle that becomes clogged with bacteria, such as oil from food.

To effectively treat acne, is it necessary to scrub your face when cleansing? No. Vigorous washing and scrubbing will irritate the skin and actually make acne worse. Choose a foaming cleanser that foams deep into your pores to disrupt the breakoutcausing union of oil and debris so there’s no need to scrub.

Did you know that:

The acne category grew by 10 percent in the year 2000, making it the fastest growing Over the Counter (OTC) category that year. Trend fact: Acne is a multibillion dollar market. Now you can diminish the signs of past breakouts—uneven texture and scars—with alpha lipoic acid. A powerful antioxidant, alpha lipoic acid is a vital component of the energy producing part of cells. Alpha lipoic acid also helps increase the efficacy of other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E.2 By enabling these vitamins to work more effectively, alpha lipoic acid maximizes the repair potential they provide, helping to lessen cellular damage, irritation, and aging.

With this fact, manufacturers produce a lot of acne products that promise you a clear face. And a lot of skin care practitioners and centers take advantage of it... For someone who suffers a bad breakout and decided to go to a clinic, 95% chance that he will just keep on coming back on the clinic/center and when he stops...the breakouts become even worse.
Don't be a victim. Spend for something that assures your acne will be cured. Not only for the mean time but for a lifetime :-) Something that can cure your past, present and future breakouts for face, neck and even your back.
