Acne Treatment – Does A Shower Help Get Off Acne?
Acne be it it blackheads, whiteheads, cysts is just a nightmare to get rid of and there are loads of theories on how to get rid of acne. Recently I was asked if a shower can help in getting rod of acne. My answer is to this is it’s important to understand the type of acne you have so you may better understand how to treat it. There are four main causes of acne: Irregular skin exfoliation, inflammation, excess oil production, and bacteria. Excess oil makes the dead skin cells stick together, clogging the pores and often causing blackheads or whiteheads. Bacteria then settles into the pores and causes inflammation, which results in redness and infection.
Now you know the causes, the next step is acne treatment and prevention. The constant flow of water under a shower can open the skin pores and wash off the dirt and other contaminants that rest on the skin. Washing opens up the pores and prevent acne since all substances that clog the pores can get washed off. Be careful not to scrub the face at all. Just wash gently. Therefore its recommended to take a shower at least twice a day. This alone will not help to clear the acne. Topical treatment which I have found to be effective include Benzoyl Peroxide acne treatment. Whatever you use just don’t but the Pro active 3 step system for it will simply worsen my condition! This dries out and irritatees the skin like no other, even though on properly moisturised skin and it can permanently damaged my skin, causing a lot of unsightly scarring. I will post a few review later. In the meantime I did a review of some best skin care products for acne.
