If you're almost a teen, chances are pretty good that you have some acne.
About 8 in 10 preteens and teens have acne, along with many adults. In
fact, about 17 million people in the United States have acne. Acne is
so common that it's considered a normal part of growing from a kid to
an adult.
But knowing that doesn't make it easier when you look in the mirror
and see a big pimple on your chin! The good news is that learning about
acne and taking some simple steps can help you feel better about your face.
Facials and LED are the best ways to clear the skin-Using a facial regimen that your esthitican recommends also helps to keep the acne at bay.
Acne is a skin condition that shows up as different types of bumps. They include
whiteheads, blackheads, red bumps (pimples), and bumps that are filled
with pus (cysts). What causes these annoying bumps? Well, your skin is
covered with tiny holes called hair follicles, or pores. Pores contain sebaceous glands (also called oil glands) that make sebum, an oil that moistens your hair and skin.
Most of the time the glands make the right amount of sebum, and the
pores are fine. But sometimes a pore gets clogged up with too much
sebum, dead skin cells, and germs called bacteria. This can cause acne.
If a pore gets clogged up, closes, and bulges out from the skin, that's a whitehead. If a pore clogs up but stays open, the top surface can get dark and you're left with a blackhead.
Sometimes the walls of the pore are broken, allowing sebum, bacteria,
and dead skin cells to get under the skin. This causes a small, red
infection called a pimple. Clogged-up pores that open up deep in the skin can lead to bigger infections known as cysts.
What Can I Do About Acne?
If you're worried about acne, there are things you can do to keep those pimples away:
- To help prevent the oil buildup that can lead to acne, wash your face twice a day with warm water and a mild cleanser. Medibac by dermalogica. Also use of the LED light.
- Don't scrub your face. Scrubbing can actually make
acne worse by irritating the skin. Wash gently, using your hands
instead of a washcloth.
- If you wear makeup, moisturizer, or sunscreen, make sure they are "oil-free," "noncomedogenic," or "nonacnegenic."
- When you wash your face, take the time to remove all of your makeup.
- If you use hair sprays or gels, try to keep them away from your face because they can clog pores.
- If you have long hair, keep it away from your face and wash it regularly to reduce oil.
- Baseball caps and other hats can cause pimples along the hairline. Avoid them if you think they are worsening your acne.
- Wash your face after you've been exercising and sweating a lot.
- Try not to touch your face.
- Don't pick, squeeze, or pop pimples.
When you use a Medibac by dermalogica for acne, be sure to follow the directions
exactly. Don't use more than you're supposed to because it can make
your skin very red and very dry. It's also good to try just a little
bit at first to be sure that you're not allergic to the product. Don't give up if you don't see results the next day. Acne medicine can take weeks or months to work.
