subject: Acne Skin Care Techniques [print this page] To be affected by acne is blight on the teenage minds. These young people experience great disturbance and discomfiture with acne on their skin. The unsightly acne makes them highly conscious of their looks. Sadly, acne haunts people for long periods of time.
Most usually, acne develops around the pubertal stage of young people. This condition occurs because of hormonal imbalances that occur with the arrival of menstrual phase. When the hormonal activity increases, the sebaceous glands in the skin start generating excess quantities of oil. A combination of this oil and accumulated dead skin cells facilitates bacterial growth which eventually inflames as acne.
It is awkward that acne affects those areas which are readily visible. Often, young people feel distressed as acne occurs on their face at a crucial age when they are ever-conscious about their 'face value'. In cases of severe acne conditions, the likelihood of permanent scars following the acne cure is traumatic. The emotional disturbance, physical unsightly appearance, possible after effect in the form of scars is reason enough for people to detest and abhor acne. That is why people fear acne and when affected, they do everything possible in order to get rid of the problem at the earliest, taking care that they will not be victims of eventual scars.
It is an established fact that acne does not occur due to reasons like oily foods or chocolates; it does not related to skin hygiene or emotional issues. People try to prevent acne employing many means. One most common approach is for people to use cosmetics in order to prevent or conceal acne. The paradox is it is the same cosmetics, which have the potential of aggravating acne. Many of these cosmetics affect skin in such a way that it even triggers acne or and worsen acne condition. They also block the sebaceous glands, thwarting the depletion of excessive sebum. There are other acne-prevention compounds which may also be equally undesirable.
In recent times there are several useful ways of treating acne medically. But most of these are useful only if you apply them before any skin mutilation happens. Be sure to do this process only under qualified medical overseeing since you are in a way dealing with manipulation of hormonal system.
