Anti
- Acne Cream |
| |
|
There are many factors leading to
acne. The hormonal changes, stress,
strain, alcohol consumption, smocking, above
all the pollution. Acne
grows from the inside of your skin, not as a result
of fatty foods or dirt. Scrubbing your skin will not
reduce acne, so spare your skin the rough scrubs.
There
are many medical solutions for
acne. Treat acne with benzyl peroxide, an antibacterial,
combined with salicylic acid (also known as beta hydroxy),
an exfoliant. Benzoyl peroxide comes in a soap or ointment,
like Clearasilor Stridex.
Salicylic acid derives from aspirin and available in
a cream form. Neutrogena soap contains both salicylic
acid and a little benzoyl peroxide. These are for teenage
acne and they dry out the skin. If you’re not
a teenager, try Oil of Olay Age-Defying Lotion or Clinique
Turnaround Cream. Do not use antibiotics or tetracycline
with out doctor’s prescription.
Do not use fairness creams or complex solutions to improve
your skin fairness. On the other hand, black skin is
more resistant to aging and to skin cancers, has faster
healing properties than fair skin, and tends to not
develop acne.
