Bensoyl Peroxide is the best ingredient used for acne. Every product to figh acne has it.
I have used many acne treatments for 6 years and the only side effect I got from them was irritation and dry skin. After accutane, acne never came back but I did notice a premature skin aging. I will say the products I used for my face was the reason for it.
You will get a dry skin regardless use of a moisturizer , try to use very small amounts of the Bensoyl Peroxide. Remember more is not better !.
Also if you are new to these products your skin will show dryness and irritation , this is common but should be monitor if the problem presists.
If you have severe acne – GO ACCUTANE ALL THE WAY !
Harsh acne treatments can definitely harm your skin by drying it out but you should still look around to find something that can treat your acne. Not every ones skin is the same, so you may have to try a few different products before you find something that works for you. Please don’t believe that toothpaste will help, this can damage your skin if it is too sensitive. Premature aging is caused by sun damage and other factors like alcohol, smoking, bad diet etc. So if you already moisturize, good job! Make sure to also use sunscreen with a minimum of 15 SPF since the sun is your worst enemy when it comes to premature aging. Sunscreen is your best defense! Have you tried Proactiv? Usually the skin benefits from a daily routine of cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Proactiv is a good and cheap. If you still experience dryness you may also want to cut down your treatment. If your instructed to wash 2 times a day try it just once in the morning and at night wash your face with plain warm water but always remember to stick to your regimen your skin will thank you for it!
PIMPLES
Pimples is a unique skin disorder.Pimples are lesions that occur when the skin’s pores are obstructed or infected.They can form for a variety of reasons.However,the mechanism involved in causing some pores to collapse and block drainage of natural oils is not really understood. Pimples may also crop up for genetic reasons. It is not clear how it can be inherited from one’s parents, but studies do indicate a high occurrence of pimples in children whose parents had it,too.
The pimples associated with adolescence almost certainly occur because of hormonal changes that take place during puberty. Both males and females get an overdose of the male hormone testosterone during this period,causing excessive generation of sebaceous fluids that invariably cause pimples.
GIVEN BELOW ARE A FEW SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES TO FIGHT PIMPLES.
1.The most basic form of pimple prevention is hygiene and preventive skin care. Regular washing of the affected areas with mild soap is a must.The soap need not necessarily contain any chemicals designed to prevent pimples .However, face washing should not be overdone or the skin will become dehydrated .
2.Care should be taken on makeup,moisturizers and other skin care products.If these products are oil based,it would just make the problem worse. Use water based products instead.
3.Generally we rub, press or squeeze our pimples.Don’t when we do this,we risk spreading the bacteria to other areas.
4.Lemon juice diluted in water can be applied externally because of its antiseptic
quality.
5.Tea Tree oil can also be applied directly to infected pores.
6.Vitamin A tablets are also a natural and effective cure. Vitamin A promotes healthy skin.
7.Before bathing, apply a mixture of fresh tomato pulp, honey and rose-water to your face and keep for twenty minutes before washing off.
8.Juice of raw papaya is the best treatment for pimples.Apply fresh juice of raw papaya on pimples and get a good result.
9.Directly rub potato slices all over the face, helps to get rid of blemishes and
pimple scar.
10.Drink plenty of water and vegetable or fruit juices.
11.Use cucumber or other fruit and vegetable packs to cure pimple scars.
12.Maintain a diet that is rich in cottage cheese, salads, fresh juices, fish and
yogurt.These help to cleanse your system and ward off pimples.
13.Another overnight home remedy for pimples is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. Calamine lotion also will have the same drying effect.
14.Pound orange peel with water and apply to affected areas.
15.Another useful remedy for pimples is zinc. Which can be taken in a dose of 50 mg daily for a month and then reduce the dose.
16.You can clean your skin with apple cider vinegar as an overnight home pimple remedy.
17.Aspirin contains Beta hydroxy acid which is a powerful defoliant ,so you can crush 1to 2 Aspirin tablets mix with a little water and apply on pimples for 15 minutes and wash.
Finally,certain medications may temporarily alter the hormonal changes prevalent during adolescence and cause pimple outbreaks. If this is the case, a simple adjustment in medication may be all that is required.
