Acne is a problem that very few people really understand.
Doctors and specialists alike are baffled as to why it strikes
some more than others. An acne pimple is formed when a pore
collapses. This blocks the sebum from escaping out of this pores
as it would normally. Acne is more likely to be caused by
hormones, vitamin deficiency, a poor diet or stress. A lot of
time and money has been spent researching a cure and prevention
from the onslaught of acne and as such there are numerous cures
on the shelves that acne sufferers may want to consider using.



1- A bad diet is proven to cause acne, so sticking to a well
balanced diet will certainly help clear up or prevent acne.
Garlic and onions can be particularly helpful because these
contain sulphur. Drinking lots of purified water can also be
very effective, rehydrating the skin and improving your glands.



2- As well as a healthy diet and lots of water there are also
vitamin and nutritional supplements you can take that will also
assist in beating acne. Vitamins A, C and E are particularly
helpful and combining these with zinc orotate is sure to have an
effect.



3- Be careful about which moisturizers and cleaners you use on
your skin. If you already suffer from acne this is especially
important. Choose a mild cleanser and apply it twice a day to
the acne infected areas. There are several specialist cleansers
ideally suited to this task.



4- Be careful what you are subjecting your skin to. Perfumes,
moisturizers and even some soap can flare up a reaction from
your acne. Make sure you select products that are suited to your
skin type and don't overdo the amount you use. Washing your face
too often can actually irritate your acne and you should only do
so twice a day.



5- Tempting though it may be you should try to avoid squeezing
and picking. This can result in open sores that can easily
become infected. By picking acne there is a good chance you will
make it last longer. Ordinarily you can expect an acne pimple to
last a week or more.
