By Giancarlo Courtenay


Even though acne has been around for many centuries, few people actually know how to get rid of it. Part of this is because many mistaken ideas get passed around and repeated.In an attempt to make your acne go away, you may resort to scrubbing at your face thinking that this will help. Actually, this just exacerbates the situation making acne worse than ever. To set the record straight, we have written this article to present remedies for acne that work, and that do not work at all.

The relationship between stress and acne is a little complicated. Stress has been shown to make acne more aggravated, yet it does not cause it to occur. What stress does do is it causes the production of excess sebum oil in your pores, which can contribute to the development of acne on your face. It's important to learn how to control stress for many reasons, and the possible affect it has on acne is only one of them. Side effects to medications that you are taking can also contribute to the acne that you have, especially medication designed to reduce your stress. Go figure! Always talk to your doctor if you are unsure about the medications that you are taking and also asked them about your acne and how to treat it. Teenagers, despite popular belief, are not the only ones that can get acne on their face. The only kernel of truth in this belief is that people usually begin getting acne in their teen years. Acne does not simply go away, especially after you are no longer a teenager; more times than not it will persist. It is very common for acne to plague people for decades without ever going away. For this reason, it's important to not believe that acne is something you can outgrow. Adults can have acne, so it is really nothing to be concerned about, were ashamed of - is simply how your skin operates. Your age has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you have acne.

Keeping your skin clear and clean is often a remedy that is promoted, especially if you have acne right now. This is good advice, but it's easy to take this too far and wash too often or too harshly. You need to know that dirt is not a precursor to acne forming on your face. What causes acne is an imbalance in the amount of oil and bacteria that are generally found in the pores of your epidermal layer. What you do not want to do is overcoming your skin. This is done by a overtraining, actually scrubbing it and irritating the skin too much. This is what causes excess bacteria and oil to form. Anyone that has acne on their face because of washing too frequently needs to be much more gentle and infrequent. It is all about finding the right balance for your face. By washing your face just twice a day, using very mild soap, you should be able to manage your breakouts.

Acne is sometimes perceived as an affliction that the individual must endure. In reality, this very common skin disorder is something that many people experience and deal with everyday. The truth is that almost 80% of all people from their teens through their twenties have acne at some point. Acne is a condition that can become very severe, yet most people have mild to moderate levels. After you understand that this condition is not segregated only to you, you will feel a little better about having to suffer with everyone else. Acne is very commonplace. In fact, if you do not have acne, you are very lucky and among the minority on this planet. Although there is no cure for acne today, modern medicine may find one soon. Right now, we simply have to do what we can to maintain or prevent this from happening. That means practicing common sense and using whatever products are most effective. All we can do is try our best to make sure that the products that we use on our face, and that our lifestyle, conforms to what is necessary that will help prevent acne from forming.

As we've seen, there are many different factors to consider when it comes to acne. Skin that is sensitive may be prone to acne, and irritating it even more can only make the problem worse over time. Acne is not always easy to get rid of, but it can be done with determination and understanding it well. If all else fails, consult your physician and get some medication that might finally take care of your acne.
