Achieving acne control by cleansing your skin





We all know it and we all dread it. It forms a habit of popping up at times when we least like them to. Find out how you can keep those little acne monsters under control!!!


In the world of so many adolescents and young adults there is a deep fear of being afflicted by the dreaded skin condition called acne. So many teenagers who have no acne pimples on their faces fear that they may occur due to its popularity on more than 85% of teenagers and young adults.

If you are afflicted with acne, it may seem that the amount of pimples on your face increases at the wrong times. My examples are like two days before my school’s annual dinner where my face got covered with pimples, a day before a date and two days before the presentation of my year project. I guess by now you know that this annoying skin problem shows no mercy or respect to anyone. It does not matter who you are or how healthy you may think you are, pimples (zits) can appear on your face at any time. Instead of following your natural instinct of “popping” the pus-filled acne pimple, which could cause severe acne scarring, you can do something else to avoid its occurrence, that is proper acne control.

The most annoying thing about acne is that although the main causes of acne has to do with hormonal and chemical imbalances in the body, there are about a dozen factors that could worsen your acne situation. A pimple is formed when there is an inflammation in the hair pore, which is caused by a blockage that prevents oil (commonly know as sebum) from reaching the skin surface.

A few of the factors that worsen your acne problem include:

  • Your biological history
  • Side effects from the use of some drugs
  • Picking at or squeezing at the pimples
  • Scrubbing your skin harshly
  • Cosmetic products that are oil based
  • Stress, illness or exhaustion
  • Heat and moisture
  • Inappropriate diet
  • In women pregnancy, menstruation and menopause could worsen acne

It may seem quite depressing to know that your acne problems could be worsened by so many factors. But not to worry, there are a number of things that could help you in your fight against those "monsters" called acne. As you already know by now, the hair pores are where these acne lesions start from, so the first step in achieving acne control is ensuring that your hair pores are kept clean.

How does cleansing the Skin result in Acne Control?


As you must have been taught in biology class that the skin is the largest organ of your body. It is also the outermost layer of the body and it is your body’s protection against a number of elements. The skin covers almost 19 square feet, which is quite a enough room to become dirty with the amount of pollution around us. Your face which is usually the major area of the skin that most concerns all of us is more prone to acne. This definitely means that you should take better care of your face by ensuring it is clean, smooth and acne free. One way of doing that is ensuring that you stick to a good skin regimen.

The only skin regimen that ensures that your acne is kept well under control includes the following steps: cleansing, toning, and moisturizing. Following these three acne skin care steps are guaranteed to result in an improvement in your acne condition and ensures you have a smoother skin texture. If you are serious about achieving acne control then you should consider doing this skin regimen twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.

Follow these Skin Care Guide to Ensure Proper Cleansing


1. Always remove your makeup before you wash your face.

When your face is completely wet cleansers work better and are more helpful in clearing up your pores. Most oily make ups prevent water and cleansers from forming a good lather. Try rubbing cotton balls soaked in baby oil or makeup remover softly on your face.

2. Only use lukewarm water or room-temperature water in washing your face.

Do not wash your face with water that is either to hot or too cold. Using hot water or ice cold water in washing your face can dry out your skin and worsen your acne condition.

3. Only use a quality anti-acne cleanser that is suitable for your particular skin type.

If your have oily skin, then you should try a cleanser that is specially formulated for that skin type. While if your skin is very sensitive then you should go for a cleanser that is mild. A very good cleanser that is suitable for any skin type is the deep cleansing facial and body wash included in the Clear pores acne system.

4. Rub a little quantity of cleanser on your face.

In view of the fact that most cleansers are strong, applying too much can dry your skin out. Mixture with water makes it ingredients active and allows it to be spread uniformly on your face.

Cleansers like those of the Clear pores and the Healthy pores acne systems have antibacterial agents that scrub your skin removing dirt and dead cells. Also the ingredients contained in these cleansers penetrate deep in your skin and improves your complexion.

5. Rinse your face totally and dry with a non-abrasive towel

After massaging your face with the cleanser, you should rinse your face with warm running water thoroughly. Always wash every trace of the cleanser from your skin so that your pores do not become blocked as result of the residue cleanser. Use a soft, clean towel to dry your face. Do not rub the towel on your face instead pat your face till it dries.

A quality skin care system like the clear pores acne system contains a special toner and moisturizer to guarantee you complete acne control. When opting for a toner and a moisturizer, you should go for ones that match your skin type and the cleanser you use.
