Even though both my parents went through their teens having problems with ace, they never told me about this. I wish they would have warned me, so that I could have been prepared to become the blight 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?
Basically all teenagers will at some point have acne. It’s your body’s way of saying that you are changing into an adult. The oils that secrete from our sweat glands will be affected by our hormones. Oily and full with bacteria, our bodies are not finding this very inviting.
This bacteria and dead skin cells will clog our skin pores in our faxes, necks, backs shoulder and other body parts. This reaction to the hormonal change that your body is going through is acne.
Here are some tips that can help you.
1. Don’t believe everything you hear about acne products
At some point you will go down to the pharmacy to find something to treat your ace. This is understandable, since the pharmacy is right there.
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.
If you are in the habit of daily scrubbing your face red, stop it immediately. You will only cause irritation to the acne area, and could spread the infection even more. Popping pimples is also a no-no. This will also spread the bacteria even more, and impact your skin pores that are already infected.
When your pimples are ready to pop, they will. The urge to pop these zits can be overwhelming, They itch and hurt. Let them pop on their own accord. This way, you are not impacting the pore and causing it to be more swollen and infected later.
3. Change your lifestyle.
Your body is an organic processor; what you put into it comes out of it. When you are ingesting a bag of potato chips, this food is already processed. Your body does not have to work very hard at breaking the processed potato chips down and digest this food source.
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. A dermatologist is the last option, try the miracle cures first
Going to the dermatologist is normally the last resort. There are a couple of miracle cures that can cure acne quickly. Try a few of these first, you don’t have anything to lose. If one of them works, you are much better off. If not, you might want to head off for the dermatologist.
