The
Truth About Your Acne Problem
by Beth Scott
Like a good many
people I have been the victim of acne
vulgaris (what an appropriate name for such a vulgar
disease) the medical term for pimples.
My acne problem
has made me aggravated,
made me cry, and made me angry. Thousands
of people each year are afflicted by an acne problem,
and their acne problem makes recluses out of way
too many teenagers and even adults.
Medical Explanation
Your acne problem
is caused when your pores get
clogged and the fatty material made by the sebaceous
gland accumulates, and a "bump" appears under the skin
or perhaps a whitehead or a blackhead (a comedone).
Blackheads are not
caused by dirt but by the discoloring
effect of air on the fatty material in the clogged pore.
If this substance becomes infected a pimple results.
That is the
medical explanation for pimples but what people really want to know is
"How do I get RID of my acne problem!?"
As anyone can tell
you the worst thing to do is to push or
"pop" a pimple. Because this will not only cause your acne problem to
worsen, but can result in life
long scars.
No matter what you
see on TV and no matter what a
friend tells you, don't pop that pimple.
I speak from
personal experience, my acne problem was
so bad I couldn't stand it so I popped pimples trying to be
proactive in getting rid of them.
That is the wrong
method to get involved in doing
something to rid yourself of your acne problem. I am still
paying for doing it by the scars that remain on my face.
The Solution For Your Acne Problem
The right way is a
simple trick I learned that lessons acne
dramatically:
Steam your face at
night over a warm bowl of water for 20 minutes before retiring to bed
(this should be after washing your face thoroughly with a gentle
cleanser like Olay's or Neutragena's facial cloths)
And then massage
one half a teaspoon of castor oil onto your face for about 1 minute,
until your face is just lightly shiny.
This will help
keep your pores open and prevent new pimples from forming (the steaming
opens pores and helps get rid of old pimples).
In the morning you
should wash your face again immediately after waking and steam face
again for 20 more minutes.
After steaming
your face in the morning splash your face
with cold water and dry off.
Do this
consistently every night and morning for optimal
results in clearing up your acne problem.
Now that you are
armed with this information put it to use
tonight and
watch the improvement as your acne problem
fades and your skin begins to glow after just a short period of time.
