Acne Symptoms Causes Suggestions

ACNE
Pimples on face and body. Acne is a small pocket of infected oil in the skin, produced by the sebaceous glands located in the chorium of the skin, which open into hair follicles. When this oil is trapped and infected it produces pimples known as acne. IT generally occurs on the face and back and can become abscesses or deep infected lesions in the skin.

Causes: The production of the hormone testosterone, in men as well as women(although it is greater in men), causes the sebaceous glands to grow, producing more oil. Meanwhile, the skin cells near the pore produce keratin. When these two substances mix, the greasy oil and keratin produce an amalgamation, which blocks the pore causing a blackhead. When the pore is plugged up due to this substance, bacteria beings to accumulate and grows. This inflames the area and forms a pimple(acne).

Suggestion:

1. Apply Cleanser of a world class premium brand for deep cleansing effect, which will remove dirt and oil from the deeper layers of skin.
2. After that use Toner of a world class premium brand which will close the pore and improve the texture of the skin.
3. Thereafter use the oil free Moisturiser of a world class premium brand. The use of recommended moisturizer as per the type of skin is a must.
4. Take Beta-carotene (15 mg/day), Vitamin – E(800-IU, 400-IU every 12 hours), Vitamin-C(180 mg) and Vitamin – D(800-IU) daily.
5. It is advisable to use Polishing Scrub of a world class premium brand periodically, which enhances the natural exfoliating process. This product is dermatologically and allergy tested. Contains Ginseng and Chamomile.
6. Take suggested food supplements until the infection diminishes. (Acne requires a treatment lasting about 4 to 6 months).

In addition it is suggested:

1. To eliminate as much as sugar and flour as possible, as well as fried foods, butter, chocolate and whole milk.
2. Increase the consumption of fiber, as well as yogurt, which cleans the stomach and intestine.
