Acne Control and its Three Goals
You might not completely understand what 'acne control' refers to, but you're probably thinking in the right direction. Acne control, although similar to acne cleansing, is better defined as a way to keep your acne from progressing to severe acne or preventing acne relapses after one's problem has already been 'remedied.' Basically, you're getting or keeping your acne under control.
There are numerous methods of acne control. Regardless of which methods you choose to employ on your skin, the intrinsic goals to acne control are:
* Preventing the over production of sebum by the sebaceous glands
* Improving the health of the skin
* Control of the acne causing bacteria P. acnes
Slowing Sebum Production: Hormone Balance
By decreasing the activity of the sebaceous glands, your skin will be less oily, have smaller pores and reduce the possibility that other debris and bacteria will mix with sebum, facilitating the growth of the bacteria P. acnes that causes acne.
Additionally, hyperactive sebaceous glands can cause a strong and sudden outflow of sebum that actually injures the hair follicles. This injury to the inner canals causes the redness and inflammation that we associate with acne.
That said, actually controlling activity of the sebaceous glands is not a simple task and is usually only attempted for those with severe acne. Most acne products will at least help you remove excess sebum that has already made its way to the skin surface.
Hormones dictate sebum production. During puberty, many teenagers suffer from an imbalance of hormones, mainly testosterone that causes increased sebum production. There are several hormonal acne treatments available. Many teenage girls see an improvement in their skin when using birth control as an acne treatment.
Improving Skin Health: Nutrition and Health
Overall health will increase that of your skin. By eating a balanced diet and exercising, your body will receive the stimulation and nutrients it needs for the skin to properly heal, repair and grow.
Vitamin A plays an important role in skin health and can be easily found in both natural and synthetic forms. Vitamin A actually helps reduce the amount of sebum produced while also bettering skin elasticity and preventing the formation of wrinkles.
Exercise is a natural part of the human life. Exercising causes the body to release hormones, create proteins and learn to function in a more efficient way. The body normalizes and the immune system strengthens.
Reducing Acne-Causing Bacteria: Acne Products
Making sure you engage in a proper cleansing routine is crucial. Most will advertise some form of antibacterial or antimicrobial ingredients. Finding the right acne complex takes time, however, you should safely eliminate those that are not oil free or non-comedogenic (as in, won't clog pores).
With ingredients you aren't sure of, test out the product on your hand first to confirm you have no negative reaction to it. Nothing can be worse than an allergic reaction on your face!
