People who suffer from acne tend to make a lot of critical mistakes. These mistakes essentially prevent these people from ever getting back their clear skin. Here are 3 mistakes that might stop you from getting the clear skin that you deserve, as well as 3 solutions to them, so the mistakes do not repeat themselves unnecessarily.

The Mistakes

1. Drinking Soda Whether it is diet or regular, stop drinking soda immediately; this is an absolute necessity. If you drink regular soda on the regular, all of the sugar that it is filled with will merely mess with your overall hormones. Plus, it will send your levels of blood sugar skyrocketing and cause oxidative stress. All of these things and much more can lead to an abundance of acne. Even if you drink diet soda, it still comes with acids that will only make your pH levels worse. The key to gorgeous glowing skin would be to maintain a balanced level of alkaline and acid in your system.

2. Thinking about Acne Constantly thinking about acne – all day every day – can lead to stress, frustration, and maybe even depression someday. Plus, it will merely make the acne worse and make you breakout more as a result. Read more…

People, in general, usually suffer from acne after their bodies experience various changes in hormones. However, no real evidence actually exists that can prove this relationship between them. A lot of doctors will say that the real cause for this skin condition is still unknown and this could lead to tons of confusion between doctors and patients. Still, the majority of people are going to try to get prescriptions that might solve this predicament. Even though this could help treat the overall symptoms, though, it will not take care of any underlying causes.

Many different problems can be associated with dehydration. A person can drink water everyday, yet still not get a sufficient amount of it to keep the body completely hydrated. Are you aware that the human body is made out of seventy percent of water? Because of this, you have to ensure that you maintain high water levels in order to perform at your best. If you do not take in a sufficient amount of water, your body will go out of balance, whether in the short term or in the long run. This can then become evident in various ways, such as through the appearance of acne blackheads. Read more…

Topical treatments do not really work for everybody.

These people are usually the ones who are sick of small topical treatments that do not actually work out for them. Read more…

Everyone has had acne sometime in their life, but how do we know acne from something more serious, Recently one of the contributors of shipacne had just that, a carcinoma disguised as what he thought was a pimple. The other day Glenn came to work with about a two inch scar on his neck with approximately nine stitches, and I was in shock and had asked what happened.

Heres the story, about seven months ago he had what looked like a small pimple on his neck, and he popped it, and of course it reacted like a normal zit popping out that nasty stuff, and that was it, but later it continued to gradually grow, Glenn said that after looking at it carefully, he noticed a couple of hairs in the vicinity and figured it was just an ingrown hair, so he plucked the two hairs and of course the swelling went down back to a normal size but it did not decrease.

After a while the pimple started to look more like a sore, it gradually grew slowly , but not to anything abnormal, it finally took Glenn seven months and he decided to go see a dermatologist, and  of course the dermatologist asked why he had not gone to see him sooner, and of course Glenn said… well it acted and seemed like it was just a pimple, but it wasn’t , it was the beginning of a pre-cancerous growth, the surgery was performed and the growth removed and the test results of the biopsy fortunately turned out to be negative.

So if you have some kind of persistent growth that looks like a pimple make sure you check it out, it could be something more serious.

Acne is extremely common, but few people actually understand what it is, and a lot of myths and wives tales surround what causes it. Most commonly affecting teenagers and young adults, acne cases can range from mild breakouts to very severe ones. Regardless of the severity of the case, however, all acne should be treated as soon as possible, as it can play a major role in self-esteem, especially amongst teenagers.

Acne is actually caused by particles of dirt entering the pores and clogging them, causing ideal breeding grounds for bacteria. This build-up then manifests itself as a whitehead on the surface of the skin.

Foods such as French fries, chocolate and other greasy foods are generally associated with outbreaks. However, this is merely a myth since no real scientific link has actually placed greasy food as a cause of acne. However, in some cases, it was shown that certain foods caused the initial acne to get progressively worse. So, as a general rule of thumb, avoid eating certain kinds of food that you think may cause you to break out. Understand, however, that this does not apply to everyone and you might be one of the few who can eat greasy foods and still get away with it.

Another belief is that frequent washing has a beneficial effect, reducing the chances of acne and lessening it once it appears. This is not true. In fact, it has shown to increase acne outbreaks, if anything. Repeated washing can lead to dryness and irritation of the skin, which leads to a prevalence of acne breakouts. Because of this, people should only wash twice daily using only a mild soap; anything more will result in skin irritation.

The average person’s reaction to a pimple is to pop it, thereby removing the whitehead and the source of the infection. However, this is not the case. What actually happens when the pimple is popped is that the bacteria, dead skin cells and pus get deeper into the skin, leading to even more redness and quite possibly scarring. Read more…

1. Know exactly what it is you are spending money on.

When referring to acne medication products, people tend to run out and buy anything that they see advertised in the media. Every person is unique and the same goes for a person’s skin. Because of this, you need to ensure that you know what you are applying on your acne before shelling out money for worthless acne medication products that probably won’t even work for you anyway.

2. Getting rid of acne requires a lot of time and patience.

Obviously, people who suffer from acne would much rather get rid of it as soon as possible. Tons of acne treatment products will promise to do so, but think about it: how many times have such acne products enticed you with their advertisements? Now, how many of them have actually followed through on their promises? None, probably – am I right? Eliminating acne takes time, so be patient. Read more…
