Copyright (c) 2010 Nick Clipton Acne, a mild swollen structure formed in your face, sometimes if erupted forms scar on your face. It is often formed on oily skins, the reason being the oil clogged in the sebaceous glands of the skin. Acne is most commonly seen during the days of puberty, a state where there is an imbalance in hormone production which makes the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum, the oil. Skin experts have invented many a solutions for people facing problems with acne, from chemicals, to cosmetics. However these inventions are often advised to you in extreme cases where you are unable to reduce acne with natural treatments. There are many natural ways to reduce acne. Only that people have not yet realized that a simple task they include in their daily routines could improvise their facial condition. Here follows a few to be noted. Wash your face twice a day with warm water and use a mild soap in case you require. Do not scrub but gently massage the whole face with circular motions, since scrubbing may cause irritation. If you already have acne on your face, it is advisable to use a little amount of Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5%, an over-the-counter ointment available in most of the countries, on your face. This helps in decreasing the oil and bacteria over the skin. Never play with the pimples formed. The pimples often consist of mildly infected materials, which if you tickle could burst and spread to the surroundings. This may lead to more infection spreading over your face and ultimately causing dermatitis or inflammation of the skin. Moreover, stay away from letting the hair fall onto your face. The hair is already applied with Gels or Oils. When you are exhausted or the climate is unsuitably hot, the oil/gel could spread over the face. This increases the risk of clogging the glands. Avoid using sun screens or lotions too much on your face. Yes, they protect your skin from the UV rays, but it is only temporary. Its mechanism is to produce more sebum and prevent the rays of the sun reaching to your skin. But then, more sebum means more oil on your face, which indeed means a higher risk of forming acne. And hence, avoid the things that can harm your skin as much as possible and do the doable, for then only will you be able to have a better skin as you expect it to be.
