How to Treat Acne Affected Skin

Now that you know what's gotten under your skin and caused it to misbehave, let's talk about

various acne treatments that can help you prevent and control breakouts.

Internal Treatments

Although it has been recognized by many dermatologists that acne is not affected by diet,

stress and hygiene, this does not mean you should pile on the junk food, overtax yourself and

never wash! In some cases, skin irritation can be caused by certain foods, stress can effect the

chemical balance of the body, and poor hygiene will definitely do bad things to your skin.

Common sense dictates that if we take care of our body by eating a sensible diet, drinking lots

of water and combating stress, then our body will take care of us.

Accutane and antibiotics are also helpful, can be prescribed by a physician and should be

combined with a sensible daily skin care regimen. Be sure to understand fully the side effects

of these treatments.

External Treatments

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Push the myth that acne prone skin needs to be dried out

and stripped of all oil in order for eruptions to disappear out of your mind for good!

Remember that skincare is all about

achieving and maintaining a balance.

If you dry your skin out, the sebaceous

glands have to work extra hard to

produce more sebum to lubricate your

skin and carry away all of the dried out

cells.

However, applying a moisturizer

formulated for acne prone and oily

skin will keep it supple. The

sebaceous gland won't work overtime,

which can cut down the number of

clogged pores you encounter.
