Preventing Acne Effectively with Proactiv Solution


Wazzup Pilipinas!

Most teenagers suffer from the most common skin disease called Acne. Filipinos are more familiar with the problem as pimples. Nearly everyone experiences acne at some point in life especially during the teen years when everyone is at its peak. The skin problem may last for a few months or a few years. 

My daughter has been complaining about her pimples as a huge distraction and causes low personal esteem and confidence. It is not a pleasant sight to mingle with people when your face is filled with the irritating pimples.

I've been telling my daughter that she is just a late bloomer. She will soon radiate with beauty like an ugly duckling who turns into a beautiful swan afterwards. Just as beautiful as Alex Gonzaga and the many other celebrities out there. Even men are following skin care procedures to keep their skin glowing, nourished and with less imperfections.

Why wouldn't my daughter turn out fine? After all, her mother is quite a stunner herself. Of course, our offspring will be equally, if not more beautiful than their parents. Her father is good looking as well, True enough, beauty runs in the family.

How to Prevent Acne? It would be great to know as much information on how to deal with the dreaded acne. We are sharing some tips below for your convenience. Be sure to follow them to get a better chance of preventing acne.
  • Nourish - There is no miracle diet to clear acne, but a healthy, balanced diet can help your skin fight acne. Choose fresh, unprocessed foods from all four groups and drink eight glasses of water a day, or more when you exercise. 
  • Cleanse - To maintain clear skin, stick to a daily acne-fighting skin-care routine. Gently wash your face with a soap-free exfoliating cleanser twice a day to remove excess oil, dirt and dead skin cells. Avoid over washing, which dries out your skin and causes it to produce even more oil. 
  • Protect - While small amounts of sun exposure may seem to clear acne at first, the sun actually dries your skin, causing it to produce more oil and dead cells, creating the ideal environment for blemishes. Avoid excess sun exposure and wear at least SPF 15 sunscreen every day, even if it's cloudy. 
  • Rest - A good night's sleep (7-8 hours) can do wonders for your complexion and immune system, which helps fight infection to clear acne more quickly. 
  • Exercise - Your skin benefits from an increase in blood flow and blood oxygen level achieved by exercise. If you are prone to body acne, wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing when exercising, and shower with an acne-fighting body wash soon after. 
  • Relax - Acne starts inside hair follicles, where your sebaceous glands produce the protective oil that keeps skin soft and supple. Hormones control these glands, and psychological stress affects hormone levels. Too much stress can yield too much oil and trigger the acne cycle. So relax—take a bath, go for a walk, do yoga or whatever you want to make you feel happy and calm. 
Acne blemishes begins approximately 2-3 weeks before it appears on your skin’s surface. So while it may seem you get a pimple overnight, what you’re actually seeing is the final stage of a much longer process. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles – the tiny holes you know as pores. Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. 

As your skin renews itself, the old cells die, mix with your skin’s natural oils, and are sloughed off. Under normal circumstances, these cells are shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin. Dead skin cells may block the pores, resulting to over accumulation of oil underneath. 

Bacteria that live on the skin naturally begin to grow and multiply in this site, triggering an inflammatory response causing a red, angry pore that we may see as pimple already at the tail-end of the acne formation process. 

Contrary to popular belief, acne is not caused by eating too much chocolates or oily foods, nor does it occur exclusively on teenagers. Acne is a cyclic process that everyone experiences, and can occur at any age. Stress, periods, climate, cosmetic products (comedogenic), drugs and industrial chemical are factors that provoke acne.
