Acne is something neither of my parents told me about, yet they both went through their teens, with acne problems of their own. I truly wished, they both would have had a talk with me before I became the scourge of the universe.
Both of my parents did, in fact, talk to me about my zit condition, after the fact. What they both had to say, really did not give me a lot of faith that I would come through this with flying colors. I had to find out, on my own, what my parents never really discovered for themselves. How sad is that?
When changing into an adult, we go through hormonal changes. Our hormones are affecting the oils that secretes from our sweat glands, which are bodies are not very impressed by. It's all very oily and loaded with bacteria. Since this a natural process, almost all teenagers are hit by acne at some point.
Our skin pores become loaded with this bacteria and dead skin cells that clog the pores of our faces, shoulders, necks, backs and other places too. These pimples we get are the acne. The acne is basically a reaction to this hormonal change.
Here are a few tips to help you.
1. Don't fall for the 'acne product-hype'
You will go to the drugstore to get some acne treatments. You can't help yourself, because the drugstore is right down the street.
A lot of what the over the counter prescriptions for acne medications are a lot of crap. Some will work and others will not. Look at the active ingredients, first. There are some awesome products that will work, but you will have to know what you are looking at first. Check out the "caution" labelling on the products. If they indicate that the material can cause skin irritation; then let this go for now. Some of the cleansing pads really do work!
2. Don't pop or scrub the zits.
Popping zits is one of the worst things you can do, and must stop now. It will only spread more bacteria to your already infected pores. Scrubbing your face raw is also something that has to stop. This irritates the infected area, and can spread the infection even further.
Your pimples will pop when they are ready. It doesn't matter how badly you want to pop your itchy zits, leave them be until they pop in their own time. If you leave them you will not impact the pore, and you will prevent from causing even more swelling and infection.
3. Lifestyle change
What ever you put into your body will come out of it. If you eat already processed food, such as a bag of potato chips, your body, the organic food processor, doesn't have to work very hard to digest the food.
Your body is trying to get rid of that oily, hormonal mess. You can help your body by eating healthier, and not adding to that mess. By doing this you have less acne breakouts.
4. Try the miracle cures, before seeing a dermatologist.
