Acne is the occurrence of small red pimples on the face and most of the time on other parts of the body too. The pimples can sometimes be simple small boils that go away within a period of three days, or it could be severe boils filled with pus and blood, and eating away at the skin, giving red patches, accompanied with itchiness. Also acne could either range from hereditary (which are often severe acne) or to mildly occurring acne, that happens due to hormonal changes in the body.
Acne can be controlled according to the severity of the problem. For people with severe acne benzoyl peroxide is suggested as the best acne control. However, it is also prone towards irritating the skin and can also cause skin damage if use is prolonged. If you have sensitive skin then it is advised that you consult a doctor before you opt to use this method for acne control. Besides this you can also have the adapalene gel which works by keeping the skin pores clean and clear. However this too is available only through doctor’s prescription.
If you have acne, then the best way to practice acne control is to control on your make up issues. Do not use too much makeup or oil based foundations as that would clog your skin further and leaves no space for the pores to breathe. If it is compulsory to use, then wash it off with a mild face wash immediate after use. Some hair sprays are also responsible for the occurrence of acne. While spraying make sure it doesn’t fall on your face as they contain oils that could be dangerous for the skin pores. Ingredients such as isopropyl myristate, isopropyl esters, oleic acid, stearic acid and petrolatum are to be avoided as these are mainly related to acne outbursts.
Also cleanliness and a good healthy diet are very helpful in acne control. Drink plenty of water, have fresh fruits and vegetables and avoid as much junk foods as possible. This will help you have acne control and you might be able to get rid of it altogether.
