Combat Acne

Hey guys! This is my first video! Sorry for the quality and the sound but I’ll try and get some better software. This video covers one of the new LUSH Facial Serums called Saving Face for oily/combination skin, acne, brightening and facial scaring. Feel free to comment, rate or ask me some questions, I’ll try and answer them as and when I see them. If you have not read my original tutorial, you can do so on the LUSH forum.

Pimples, black heads, white heads, reddish bumpy splotches - you got ACNE! But of course you don’t want it and you need to get rid of it. After all, you can’t look and feel your best if what you see in the mirror make you cringe. You need to get rid of your acne and you need to do it now, but how?

Well, believe it or not, getting rid of acne can be very simple and that is what we are going to cover in this brief article. Now I am aware that there are some cases of acne that are severe and they need more intensive treatment. If that is the case for you, there are many websites out there (including mine) that have more in-depth information for getting rid of severe acne.

Now, on to basic acne treatment. Acne treatment all comes down to cleanliness. But “I take a shower everyday” you say…and that’s great, I recommend you keep that up, but it is a little more involved than that. Cleanliness involves several different areas that need to be addressed, especially if you are suffering from acne.

The first part is “cleanliness of your diet.” What? Yes, an “unclean” and unhealthy diet can certainly lead to acne. Taking this step to clean up your diet will not only benefit you by reducing acne, but your health overall. You should eat lots of fruits and vegetables, and limit the processed foods. Did you really think that pizza and those potato chips you ate would have no effect on your acne? Wrong! Start your overall acne battle by cleaning up your diet.

The second part (and much easier than the first part) is taking a shower. If you are experiencing severe acne, take a shower before you go to bed and when you wake up…if your acne is not that severe, take morning showers. You sweat a lot during the night and oils are secreted (eew!) while you sleep. You need to get these off of you! The soap you use should be hypo-allergenic and can be geared towards acne treatment, but this is not a necessity - just make sure it is oil free and mild.

Third, you need to keep your clothes and your bedding clean…especially your pillow case. I know you probably don’t live in a hotel where you can get your bedding changed daily, but you need to be proactiv and change or wash your pillow cases often. Once every three days or less is preferable. Just think about it - every night you put your face on that pillow, your are rubbing the dirt and oils from your face onto your pillow, and then back onto your face - gross! So wash, or change your pillow cases every couple of days and your bedding at least once a week…and wash your clothes frequently too - your friends will thank you.

Fourth, use a facial cleanser throughout the day. Use a mild, oil-free, and water soluble cleanser to keep you face clean and fresh. This may be a pain, but you can get a small bottle (like a travel size) to keep you cleanser in and a zip-lock bag to keep your disposable applicators in. If you wear make-up, remove it when you don’t really need - like when you get home. Make-up can clog the pores and lead to acne.

That’s it, that is all you need to do to begin your battle against acne. For most people, this will work, but I do understand that some people have more severe cases. For those that need additional help, you can visit my website.

Acne is defined as a diseased condition of the skin that involves the hair and oil glands. It is characterized by pimples, black/white heads, reddish and cysts. Face acne can spoil your appearance to a great extent and body acne can really ruin your day by making you very uncomfortable. Considering acne as a minor problem, some people tend to totally discard the topic of ‘Acne skin care’. However, the importance of ‘Acne skin care’ cannot be undermined in any way.

Acne skincare should really start much before the acne actually appears. ‘Acne skin care’ is more about being proactive than reactive. Acne skincare is about being aware of preventive steps. Acne skin care is - following daily skincare routines with complete discipline. So let’s have a look at how ‘acne skin care’ can be applied to our daily routine.

‘Acne skin care’ starts with the most basic thing - cleanliness. So morning showers are the most basic way of keeping the skin clean. In fact, a lot of people take night showers too (that not only helps in keeping your skin clean but also provides relaxation to your body and enables a good sleep). If you are living in a hot and/or humid place, a night shower becomes a must. In fact, a shower is recommended after any activity that causes high levels of sweat to develop. It’s a very effective ‘acne skin care’ technique.

However, acne skincare is not about just showers. Acne skin care is also about wearing clean clothes and sleeping on clean pillows. Moreover, too tight clothes can cause sweat to accumulate quickly; so soft and comfortable cotton clothes are recommended, especially if you already have acne. In the same sense, ‘acne skin care’ also advocates regular cleaning of your make-up brush and any equipment that you use on your body.

Besides that, you should also use a mild, water-soluble, oil-free and soap-free cleanser for keeping your face, neck and arms clean. Cleansing is the most important part of any acne skincare routine. Cleaners are the easiest and the most effective way of removing dirt, grease, pollutants and excess oil from your skin; thus reducing the probability of acne occurrence. Acne skin care also recommends removing your make up using a make up remover, and this should happen before you go to bed (not in the morning).

If you already have acne, do not try to touch them or squeeze them; it can lead to permanent scars. ‘Acne skin care’ advocates gentle cleansing and cleaning of the affected area using an over-the-counter medication and a clean/soft cotton pad. There are various acne skincare creams and lotions available over-the-counter (a lot of these acne skin care products are actually cleansers). However, if these ‘acne skin care’ actions don’t give you the desired results, contact a dermatologist for ‘acne skin care’ advice and treatment.
