subject: Acne Facial Cleansers For Anti Aging [print this page] Thats right, you heard itThats right, you heard it. Acne facial cleansers that will also treat premature aging. With all the trending towards anti aging products these days in the skin care industry, we knew that this day would come. But the reasons it was created is not simply to capitalize on marketability, it was designed for a very specific reason that many acne sufferers can relate to. For years acne has been being treated by benzoyl peroxide, an acne fighting active ingredient, the problem is that it has some serious side effects that have been causing skin problems for years, up to and including severe premature aging and skin cancer. Now I understand that we want to get rid of our acne breakouts but it seems rash to think we would trade it in for premature aging and skin cancer. Unfortunately all that we have done in the past to treat our skin has left us with some unanticipated side effects that need immediate treatment. The author examines this growing issue and how acne facial cleansers can help treat the acne and reverse much of the damages being caused by the use of benzoyl based acne creams.
We have all heard about the damages that the environment can cause to our skin, and that free radicals eventually lead to wrinkles, discoloration and deep creases. Well using Benzoyl Peroxide acne creams is the same as literally applying free radicals to your skin. Benzoyl Peroxide creates free radicals in your skin, so prolonged use of the ingredient will most certainly have adverse effect on your skin. The major indicator of the amount of damage caused is in directly relation to the length of time that these concerning acne creams are used. It should be noted that the long term effects of Benzoyl Peroxide are well known, but unfortunately the FDAs long term testing has not yet been completed and therefore its use is not restricted.
Consumers, however, rarely know the concerns and are baited by celebrity endorsements and expensive marketing campaigns. For this reason, the way that we treat acne and the cleansers we used after the fact must change. Active ingredients have now been found that can treat acne without the damage of benzoyl and their use in facial cleansers have proven to eliminate the free radicals in our skin. For this reason, we can effectively treat both acne and certain types of premature aging all in one swoop.
The key here is to not fall victim to marketing once again. Ingredients are the solution to finding the best acne facial cleansers. Look for products that contain Resveratrol, Chamomile, and Tangerine Oil. The combination of these ingredients will soothe the damaged irritated tissue and fight the free radicals present within your skin. It is great to do this during both morning and evening cleanses.
Just because you have acne does not mean that you are forced to create further skin damage for you to live with. There are alternatives now that never existed before, anti aging acne cleansers are one of them. While not specifically designed for anti aging, these cleansers can reverse much of the damage caused by benzoyl and other free radical exposure. If you suffer from acne make sure you take steps today to look your best as you age.
