Acne - acne is at its root an internal condition that manifests itself in the skin. Many times acne flare ups are connected to dietary deficiencies and hormonal imbalances. Acneic skin suffers from a combination of inflammation and cellular damage along with excessive oiliness and breakouts (clogged pores and pimples). Dermatologists agree that when inflammation and breakouts mix, the result is acne. This acne, or acne lesions as they are called by dermatologists, is categorized from 1-5 depending on the severity of inflammation present.
Regular facial treatments (every 2-4 weeks) are vital for acneic skins. So are dietary changes and supplements like Omega Fatty Acids, B Vitamins and Antioxidants. Home care regimes should include non-irritating antibacterial cleansers and products that lessen the skin’s oil production, calm inflammation and strengthen the skin work best. |
