How to cleanse your skin
Did you know that the skin is the largest organ in your body? Covering you from head to toe, the skin is one of the crucial parts of your body's defense system. Remember that clean and healthy skin means a healthy body and a happier you. The skin is on duty protecting you 24 hours per day and keeping infections out. It is the first line of defense against attacks on your health. This is why it is so important to take care of your skin and make sure you are helping it do its job. By keeping your skin clean and healthy today you also prevent problems such as wrinkles or skin cancer tomorrow.Stay out of the Sun
Yes, a suntan would look lovely on you, but you should learn to do without for a while. The risks of sun exposure are not acceptable when you realize that the sun does not cure acne. UV rays simply dry the outer layers of your skin and cause it to peel away. However, once you are away from the sun, acne will return. Prolonged exposure will also make you a certain candidate for skin cancer. -
squeezing acne
Biggest mistakes people make
Despite nobody knows for sure, there's a good number of people who are suffering or have suffered from acne had refrained from squeezing their acne. In fact serious pimples should never be squeezed by a person himself. This is a job for a dermatologist and to be performed only if he thinks it necessary. The main reason is that a pimple that has been squeezed or picked open is practically an invitation to every bacteria around to enter your body and cause an infection through the tiny opening in your skin. If you think the danger is negligible, you are not right.Who gets acne?
An estimated 80% of all people between the ages of 11 and 30 have acne outbreaks at some point. For most people, acne tends to go away by the time they reach their thirties; however, some people in their forties and fifties continue to have this skin problem. Believe it or not, nearly everybody in the world gets acne. When the body shifts into higher gear and puberty begins at the age of 12, hormones start taking over. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. Whether it’s food or pollution, something is bound to upset your hormonal balance sooner or later. -

types of acne
Blackhead
is a pore whose distended openings is partially blocked, allowing some of the keratin, sebum (oil) and bacteria to drain to the surface. Blackheads tend to have a constant structure, and it may take a pretty long time to clear.Whitehead
is a closed pore filled with trapping sebum, bacteria, dead skin cells, causing a white look on the surface. These acne lesions sometimes seem to be easy popped. Make sure you know how to do that in a proper way before you try.Nodulocystic Acne
is a solid lesion shaped like capsules and contains liquid or semi-liquid pus similar to that found in pustules. Theese are the most painful lesions caused by acne and can sometimes last for months. Nodules and cysts tend to extend into the deeper layers of the skin and are known to lead to tissue destruction. Don’t try to pop such a lesion, otherwise you may cause severe trauma and the lesion may last for much longer time than it normally would. Nodular acne and cysts is a severe form of acne that is treated only with isotretinonin. -
