Anti Aging Guide 4U

If you are a teenager, acne is a dirty word. The increase of the hormone androgen causes an overproduction of keratin and sebum resulting in clogged pores. Bacteria begins to grow and the result is ugly blemishes and zits that none of us want on our faces. If it is neglected, the result can be blackheads and scarring that we will be stuck with for our adult lives. Dealing with acting as a teenager is tough enough, we don’t want to carry that embarrassment into our adulthood.

There are more products available in the market today than ever before. It seems as though every time we turn on our TVs another supermodel or beautiful actress is telling us about the product they use to keep their skin clean and fresh. As they talk about more and more products it becomes quite confusing as to what they actually are. In general, they come in six different categories:

-scarring treatments

-Toners

-cleansers

-toners

-face scrubs and masks

-scarring treatment

Each and every one of the above categories serves a specific purpose. It can become quite confusing as you see these ads and trying to figure out which one is for you. It is further complicated by the ease which you can obtain these products. You walk in to any drugstore or market and their aisles upon aisles of products aimed at skin treatment. It doesn’t get any easier when you go on the Internet as a search engine will literally supply you with millions of sites that can supply you with what you are looking for. In order to not put yourself in the position where you’re using a product that will not treat your specific condition, it is suggested that you consult with either your physician or the pharmacist.

As we stated above, acne can become quite embarrassing. The ugly blemishes can often be the target of finger-pointing and gossip. The proposition of treating the acne can also be embarrassing and frustrating. Using the wrong products can sometimes make it even worse to the point that we are afraid to walk out the door. To ensure this doesn’t happen to you follow these suggestions:

1. If you’re currently suffering from acne make sure you drink plenty of water. If you’re suffering from acting and will be toxins in your bloodstream that need to be flushed. Drinking a lot of water, at least eight glasses a day, will aid in removing them from your system.

2. Garlic is another quick fix. Simply rub it on the affected areas a couple of times a day for a few weeks and you should see an improvement.

3. A common ingredient in cosmetics is Rosehip seed oil. While it will not cure acne, it is very effective in treating scarring. Rub the oil into the damaged skin areas twice a day for about 15 minutes and you should see some improvement.

4. Something that we all forget to think about when talking about acne is a healthy diet. Avoiding things like sugar, saturated fats and foods cooked in vegetable oils will help avoid this condition. What you will no longer be able to eat things like cookies, cakes, fast food and chocolate your health and appearance will both be much the better for it.

5. If your budget is tight consider rubbing apricot juice on your acne. While it sounds a little bit off-the-wall it does alleviate the condition if you apply it to the affected area for about 10 minutes a day.

Follow these helpful tips and you’ll be well on your way to curing and preventing acne. Not addressing it or simply ignoring altogether is definitely not the way to go. It will only result in your acne becoming more serious in a larger embarrassment in public.
