We know that most of people get acne in their life once a time and if the skin is oily then chances are much more. Sometimes it goes with time and sometimes we need treatments for it. When you get acne then there are some tips to follow.

When you get it then you need to start treatments at home. You can start by following tips this works for men as well as women also or you can buy book home treatment here.

Lifestyle

One of the most reasons for acne. We know that changing lifestyle can sure avoid us many of diseases but the problem is that we never change it. Because not everyone can sleep eight hours, eat three time good meals, and drink eight glasses of water a day.

But now it’s time to change it. Because just by doing some changes in your lifestyle you can control acne. You have to sleep 8 hours, eat good meals and drink a lot of water. You have to make clear that never pick or squeeze pimples. Never touch it with your hand.

Open the pores

Occasional visits to an esthetician who is an expert at removing blackheads can be beneficial.

Wash the face daily

Oil on the face can make acne worse. So you have to start washing your face daily with mild shop and warm water.

Cleansing and skin care

We read about many acne products in fashion and style magazines. But I can tell you one thing there is no magic product that is right for every person and situation. So you have to try I can’t say which one works for you.

• Mild cleansers: Wash your face twice a day with a mild cleansing bar or liquid like Dove, Neutrogena etc. It will keep the skin clean and minimize sensitivity and irritation.
• Using masks: You can use mild scrubs, exfoliants. These products may contain salicylic acid in a concentration that makes it a very mild peeling agent. These products remove the outer layer of the skin and thus open pores.

Reducing bacteria

• Antibacterial cleansers: The most popular ingredient in over-the-counter antibacterial cleansers is benzoyl peroxide.
• Topical (external) applications: you can apply gels, creams, and lotions, which are applied to the affected area. The active ingredients that kill surface bacteria include benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, and resorcinol.

Benzoyl peroxide causes red and scaly skin irritation in a small number of people, which goes away as soon as you stop using the product. Keep in mind that benzoyl peroxide is a bleach, so do not let products containing benzoyl peroxide come into contact with fabrics, leaving unsightly white spots on colored clothes, shirts, towels, and carpets.

Reduce the oil

Acne forms due to oil on your face. You can’t stop to producing it. So what you can do is to get rid of oil on the surface of the skin and reduce the embarrassing shine.

• Use a gentle astringent/toner to wipe away oil. (There are many brands available in pharmacies, as well as from manufacturers of cosmetic lines.)
• Masks containing sulfur and other ingredients draw out facial oil.
• Antibacterial pads containing benzoyl peroxide have the additional benefit of helping you wipe away oil.
• Facials: While not absolutely essential, steaming and "deep-cleaning" pores is useful, both alone and in addition to medical treatment, especially for people with "whiteheads" or "blackheads.
• Pore strips: Pharmacies now carry, under a variety of brand names, strips which you put on your nose, forehead, chin, etc., to "pull out" oil from your pores. These are, in effect, a do-it-yourself facial. They are inexpensive, safe, and work reasonably well if used properly.
• Toothpaste: One popular home remedy is to put toothpaste on zits. There is no medical basis for this.

Healthy Diet

Alkaline forming foods are best, although you can eat small portions of acid-forming foods. Acid-forming foods include fried foods, rice, white breads, milk, cheese, yogurt, etc. Alkaline foods are fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Acidic foods build up toxins in your body while alkaline foods eliminate such toxins and maintain a clean digestive system. This helps to keeps your skin clear and clean.

The common types of Acne

We have an introduction with acne in the previous article and know that Acne comes with the teenage age that is natural process. Many of us must have suffered from acne at least once in their lifetime. Both men and women have problem of acne in their life.

Acne comes in different forms that include whitehead, blackhead and pimples. It’s necessary to know about different types of acne because that can help us in specific need for treatment. Here are the examples of different types of acne with images.

Whiteheads

Whiteheads are a mild type of acne vulgaris. It affects mostly teenagers. It remains under the skin and are very small in size. They are formed when the pores on the skin are blocked due to dirt or excess oil.

Blackheads

Blackheads are another form of mild acne. They are black in color and appear on the surface of the skin. Very much similar to whiteheads, except that the top part of the pimple is open. Air gets in through the open area and turns the oil under the skin into black color resulting in blackheads. Blackheads are basically a non-inflamed blocked pore. Remember that a blackhead is not caused by dirt.

Papules

 Papules are a moderate form of acne vulgaris and visible on the surface of the skin. They are a type of acnes that get inflamed with small red colored bumps on the skin. Sometimes these acnes can be very sensitive to touch. As a precautionary measure you should not prick or try to break them as it may lead to scarring.

Like whiteheads, they are caused by an oily mixture that clogs hair follicles trapped beneath the surface of the skin. However, papules are also associated with acne inflammation, and they can be tender to the touch.

Pustules

 Pustules are an inflamed variety of pimple that are hard, and full of pus with a white or pale yellow center. They are red at their base and have pus at the top. One should avoid pricking or breaking these pimples. They are prone to cause dark spots or scars all over the skin. Pustules are more commonly known as pimples. They are filled with a mixture of oil and bacteria that's trapped beneath the skin's surface. Pustules are often painful and also cause inflammation.

Nobules

Nodules are categorized in the severe acne varieties. They are much larger than the above types of acnes, are painful, inflamed bumps, without pus and are hard to touch. They need to be treated by a good dermatologist as you may need to get rid of them with prescription drugs. Over the counter medicines do not work on these acnes.

 Cysts

 Cysts are also type of severe acne varieties and large in size. It contains pus and looks very similar to boil. Cysts can easily cause scars. They are very painful to touch and you may need the help of a dermatologist.

Nodules and cysts are considered the severe forms of acne affecting people. Never try to prick or break cysts as the bacteria can spread over to other unaffected regions on the skin and you are more likely to get more cysts and nodules.

All above conditions can all cause undue stress and anxiety and can even be rather painful. However, there is no need to worry if you suffer from any of the above acne types as most acne is curable and can be treated successfully.

Though, different types of acne will require different types of acne treatments. It is ideal to consult your doctor, specifically a dermatologist, to analyze the type of acne you are suffering from and in order to find the correct treatment.
