How many times have acne treatments let you down?

Are you sick and tired of buying acne treatments, only to have them not work for you?

Are you desperate to find a cure for your acne?

Let’s start with a little story. Let’s say you have this friend and let’s call this friend Sue. You complain to Sue about your stubborn acne which refuses to leave you, no matter what you do. Now Sue says she knows someone who went to this dermatologist and got cured of some skin disease when no other doctor could. This dermatologist with magical skills certainly seems very interesting. If he can cure this problem Sue’s friend had, when no one else could, maybe he can cure your acne too.

Is Skin Purging an Actual Thing?

Have you heard the term skin purging? Pretty sure you have. If you have acne and are using a new product for it, within a few days you might start breaking out a little more. Skin purging is when your skin actually starts getting worse before it gets better. So is it a real thing and how long does it last?

Skin renews itself every 28 days, i.e old cells die off and are replaced by new, healthy cells. This is known as cell turnover. Acne forms deep within your skin. So the hair follicle gets inflamed and the pore gets blocked. Eventually the inflammation makes its way to the surface of the skin and this is when you breakout. However this “breakout” has been in the lower layers of your skin for a few days before it slowly shows itself.

The purpose of acne treatments should be, to not only heal acne but also give you gorgeous, glowing skin. Let’s face it, we all want clear skin. Not just clear skin but skin we are comfortable in. Skin that has people looking at you in sheer envy!!

Clear skin that is dry, flaky and red, is not really skin that we want now, do we? Sadly when it comes to acne, most acne treatments available, focus on just killing the bacteria that cause acne. And when they kill the bacteria they also harm the healthy skin.

Now, once you stop using these treatments, the acne comes back. You are now forced to start using these treatments again. I do not think I need to tell you what a vicious cycle this is.

Here are 2 acne treatments that are fine for short term use but may actually harm your skin if used for a long time.

5 Ways to Prevent Acne Scars

It’s disturbing enough to have acne. It hurts when forming deep within your skin. Then it forms a red bump on your face. It annoys you and you have no idea how long it will take to heal. As if that was not enough of a problem, it leaves a scar behind after it has gone. Depending on the severity of the acne either you will be left with a red or brown mark, in which case you should consider yourself lucky. Or you will be left with a pitted scar, which will be much harder to get rid of. So how do you prevent acne scars from forming in the first place?
