How should we take care of them properly?
One of the more common problems that keeps aggravating our piece of mind in one period or another of our life is acne. It can be comedo (blackheads), white heads (milia), papules, and postulates; sometime it is a severe acne cyst that can leave permanent scars on our skin.
Before we will discuss the different solutions, Lets take a brief look at the different types of acne. In order to learn how to fight the acne from all directions, we need to know what acne is, how does it look underneath the skin, what is the cause for it, what influences it and how. It is also important to depart from few myths. If you will not know what you are fighting against, you will not choose wisely or will not select the appropriate decisions. Before we will submerge into the subject of acne, let's shatter few myths/misconceptions. If you will keep on sustaining the following three myths and act by them–you will not help your skin recovery and you might also add few problems to it.
Myths on how to take care of acne
The first myth arrived from the belief that pimples can be dried. Water is the only thing that can be "dried". And pimples aren't connected with being wet: The pimple isn’t watery. Its substance isn't fatty. However the skin cells – do contain water, and when you dry your skin you are actually drying out the water situated in the skin cell. Drying the skin damages the intercellular substance (which creates some sort of border – protects the skin), something that can increase the existence of bacterium in the pores and cause the texture of the skin to become rough and might also give the skin a feel of being stretched and dry. None of these acts stops the outbursts of acne.
They can only bring additional irritations, added frustration and disappointment from the products intended for taking care of the skin. What is accurate to say, is that pimples can get worse due to the formation of extra fat, and it is necessary to try within the framework of the war against pimples to decrease the creation of fat and/or absorb it. Absorbing the fat located in the skin or in the pores is essentially a different process than the process of drying the skin.
The second myth, pimples are caused by skin that isn't clean. Unfortunately, the erroneous common belief causes people to further clean their skin with heavy duty soaps and detergents. This type of cleaning only raises the risk of irritations and dryness and doesn't prevent the pimples at all. Not only that, the components of the solid soap that preserve the soap in its solid form can block the pores and actually cause pimples to show up.
The truth is that subtle cleansing and caring of the skin and use of gentle products, neither dry nor irritate – and are critical to our efforts in fighting the acne outburst.
The third myth, pimples can be taken care specifically. Unfortunately, many products are based on this idea. However, the minute that pimples appear on the skin, we can't "erase" them – a specific application isn't the proper care for acne that is scattered on the entire surface of the skin. In regard to most types of pimples (excluding those who are connected to allergic reactions due to cosmetic products or any other products), during the time they are exposed on the skin, they were already two or three weeks "underneath the skin", in the process of being.
Actually, it takes time for the said conditions to develop within the pore in order to create a pimple. If we will not understand and will not learn how to handle this process, we will not be able to deal with recurrent outbursts. Taking care of the exposed pimples solely, meaning that pimples created this moment aren't stopped.
Remember, we can't dry the pimples since they aren't wet, and irritating factors only worsen the situation by creating additional redness and swellings, but also damages the skin ability to recover. The best action is to work on the factor causing pimples, not on its outcome.
