I'm sure at some point or the other you have wondered what the absolute best acne treatment for your skin may be, or maybe you have thought whether or not there is such a thing as the best acne treatment. Well let me clear this question up for you.
First of all let me give you an idea of what the best acne treatment would look like. In my view it should comprise of an acne fighting system that incorporates a great targeted cleanser, moisturizer and in some cases depending on your individual acne a spot corrector or scar removal product. These products must work to effectively clear up acne, prevent new ones from returning and clear up any marks that may be left on the skin, be it on the face, the back or the chest or where ever the pimples present themselves.
So what is the absolute best acne treatment? Well let me answer that question by stating the following;
1. The fact that there are so many acne products on the market is a very telling. what it is telling is that if there were one best product for all persons with acne then there wouldn't be room for so many more. But this should not deter you. It is actually a good thing that so may products are out there for you to get a variety to chose from.
2. One person may have amazing results with one product and someone else using that identical product may not see any improvement whatsoever. This too should not deter you and you'll understand why in just a little bit. We all may experience our unique results after using the same acne product.
3. An acne treatment regimen may have worked perfectly fine for you for some time, but now it seems to not be as effective as it used to be.
There are actually some legitimate reasons for the three facts that I have stated above and they all are important in figuring out whether there is a best acne treatment for your skin.
The three ideas posted above were to allow you to decide for yourself whether or not you think there is a best acne treatment. If you have not been able to figure it out then let me give you my view. I believe that there is an absolute best acne treatment for your skin but that treatment is based on your particular experience so what might be best for you may not be remotely good for someone else, additionally that best treatment may vary over time as your skin changes and you are exposed to various or new environmental pollutants. so not because you may have had amazing results with a product in the past that product would forever work great for you. So as it relates to acne and acne management there is an absolute best treatment for your skin but that treatment may change over time, so you just need to be in tuned with the needs of your skin.
All the best in finding the absolute best acne treatment for your skin

3 Essential Products For A Clear Face
Everyone wants clean clear skin, but more often than not you are not aware as to how to achieve this. Below are three essential products that would ensure you get the skin you want
- A Facial Scrub, do not underestimate the usefulness of a facial scrub and its ability to polish the face. if your face looks dull or there are marks that do not seem to go away regardless of your numerous efforts to clear it up. Then it should be obvious that your face needs a little more attention. facial scrubs are useful in that they slough away dead skin and remove impurities and in the process provide a glowing youthful appearance. Scrubs should be an essential addition to your facial regimen because they work amazingly well to improve the look of your skin. scrubs with small particles are preferred since they clean the face without causing breaks in the skin. If you have a facial scrub that has large particles however, make sure that you rub your face gently so as to avoid damaging the skin.
- Spot Removal Cream, sometimes the face may have spots that are too extensive to treat with a simple facial scrub in that case you would be required to use a spot correcting cream. Creams of this nature may not produce the glow as would be given by the scrubs but they would certainly clear the marks up. The problem comes when trying to find one that works effectively, however this company seem to have a very effective product that not only work on the face but on any part of the body that requires spot removal.
- A good Anti Blemish Moisturizer, there are numerous moisturizer out there and all claim to work well but as we all know not all of those claims are true or at least we don't experience the effects that the companies claim we should see when we use them. However in choosing a good anti-blemish product it must be proven to be effective based on customers review. I particular like the one at the bottom of this page that is sold on amazon because of the customers' reviews they just love it check it out for your self.

Top 5 Acne Myths
Like many other common disorders and diseases, there have been several myths and unrealistic assumptions associated with acne. The main cause of the formation and spread of these myths is lack of proper understanding of the disorder, little or no knowledge about the development of disease and unnecessary delay in diagnosis and treatment of acne.
The following article attempts to explain some of the common acne-related myths and also throws light on the actual reality behind each of these myths.
Myth 1: Acne is caused by poor hygiene alone
Fact: For many persons acne is not caused by poor hygiene, sweating, or not washing the face properly. These factors do not cause the clogged pores that contribute to acne development. Other factors such as genetics or hormonal issue may be contributing factors.
Myth 2: Acne is caused by our diet
Fact: Acne is not caused by diet. No scientific connection has been found between diet and acne. No food, not chocolate, fries, pizza, or any other food, has been shown to actually “cause” acne. However, diet can play an important role in lessening or aggravating the intensity of the disease.
Myth 3: There is no treatment or cure for acne
Fact: Acne does not need to be allowed to run its course. The condition can be treated as there are prescription medications and over-the-counter (OTC) products (although medicines are never free of side effects) for it. There have been also some natural or herbal treatments for acne that have, to date, no reported side effect.
Myth 4: I can prevent acne by deligently washing my face more often
Fact: No. You cannot prevent acne from washing my face more often. Dirt does not cause acne. It is the overproduction of oil (sebum) from within the skin rather than the surface oil/dirt that leads to acne.
Myth 5: Squeezing a pimple may help me get rid of those notorious pimples
Fact: Absolutely not. In fact, quite the opposite is true. Squeezing a pimple may cause the contents of the follicle to rupture into the tissue rather than being expressed to the surface of the skin. This can cause tissue damage and scarring. Sometimes a medical provider will open a pimple or cyst with a special instrument designed not to damage the tissue, but you should avoid squeezing or picking pimples.Wednesday, 10 October 2012
5 Steps To Managing Acne Rosacea
Acne Rosacea is often more difficult to treat because most
of the common treatment products are unable to provide relief to sufferers.
Below are 5 steps to effectively managing this type of acne.
1.
Determine specifically that you are suffering
from acne rosacea. This can be done most accurately by consulting your
dermatologist or a skin care expert. Additionally you could make a
determination based on the symptoms you have. I would stop short of identifying
specific symptoms however, a search online would allow you to figure out if it
is that you have this particular skin condition. All you would have to do is a
simple google search for symptoms of rosacea, and based on the common symptoms
you find, you would be able to determine
if those are what you may be experiencing.
2.
Find targeted treatment, this may be in the form
of prescribed medication or topical over the counter products. It must be noted
that this skin condition is usually controlled with prescribed medication,
hence seeking professional help is pivotal in effective management. This is not
to say that persons have not been able to control this problem without the aid
of a medical or skin care professional. Targeted treatment can be sought by the
advice obtained after your consultation with your doctor as well as from doing
you own research. The internet is loaded with information on a number of topics
and treatment for acne roseace is no exception.
3.
Follow recommendations. Whether you sought the
advice of a professional or did some research on your own be sure to follow the
advice you were given. Most persons with this condition know that it is more
difficult to control than other milder forms. Hence strict discipline must be
adhered to in order to have good results. Like most acne treatment there may
not be one single right treatment for everyone with acne roseace, so deciding
on a treatment for you and sticking to it would allow it some time to work.
4.
Monitor your progress, you must be able to asses
where you have started in order to monitor the progress that you have made in
terms of seeing improvement on your skin. Monitoring is essential if you are
going to judge whether or not there has been any improvement. Monitoring also
ensures that you are using the best product for your rosacea. If for example
after using a product for three weeks and no results are apparent it would be
wise to review the products you are using, and or revisit your skin care
professional so that a more effective and targeted treatment can be given.
5.
Be consistent, after you would have found a
treatment that effectively manages your acne roscea, consistently using this product
is the key to improving the appearance of you skin.
Managing acne roseace can be
achieved if you are disciplined in your approach to both gathering information
as well as following a treatment regimen.

- You are allergic to the topical products. This is actually a really good reason to use natural acne treatments since you do not want to not treat the acne. So in the event that you find that the products that are being sold cause adverse effects on the skin then using a natural product would be ideal for you.
- They work better than the products you buy. This should go without saying, if you are getting better results using natural home made remedies then it would be wise to keep using them. since they would no doubt be cheaper to get and they are readily available whenever the need arises.

Many persons may prefer to leave their face or skin untreated if the product they have been using is finished, but this should not be the case, you can use products that do not cost a cent and still receive the benefits of acne fighting. Natural products have ingredients that are said to have acne fighting properties in them.

5 ways to get rid of acne fast
Ever wondered what are the best ways to get rid of acne fast? Well if you are someone with this skin condition you have no doubt wondered exactly this. So is there a quick fix for acne? most likely not but there are certainly something that can be done to get rid of acne relatively fast.
- One of these things would most definitely to be disciplined. this simple means sticking to a treatment regimen religiously, employing proven strategies on a daily basis would work wonders to treat stubborn acne problems. when embarking on any treatment regimen is sticking to it every day is the key to getting great results in a relatively short period of time. Think of it, if you treat your acne once or twice a week then the likelihood of obtaining good results would be less than if you work on your skin every day and this is often overlooked by persons, we think that we could use the products whenever we like and would be able to have as good results as if we were regularly applied treatment products on a daily basis
- Resist the temptation to pick or squeeze pimples, now we hear this all the time but we don't take heed. picking or squeezing the face not only damages the layers of the face but more importantly it causes openings that are now exposed to micro organisms that inhabit the surface of the skin. this results in and inflammatory reaction occurring causing what appears to be a break out, further exacerbating the acne problem.
- Use an acne treatment system, that incorporates cleansing and moisturising twice daily. if you are lucky to find a system that has a toner that's even better, you are on your way to getting rid of acne faster than normal.
- Have a holistic approach to acne treatment, that is do not just look at topical measures, but focus on what you put into your body as well as your level of physical activity. Acne treatment like any medical condition usually benefit from adapting a healthy lifestyle, so ensuring that you drink adequate water and incorporate at least 15 minutes of physical exercise in your daily routine would go a long way towards improving the appearance of your skin. ideally 30 minutes of sustained is recommended by health enthusiasts but any amount of physical activity is good, so if you do not have 30 minutes then 15 or even 10 minutes would be better than not working out at all.
- Do not compare your progress to others. It is important to monitor and track your progress to see how far you have come but this should be done based on where you would have started to the point you are today. Looking at others may cause you to stop treatment because you might not be showing the same progress others showed when they did exactly as you are doing now. hence the only person you want to look at is you, if based on where you have started and where you are now you see no progress, and you are about 2-3 weeks into using a product then it would be ok to try something else. If not, continue and you would be able to get rid of your acne in no time.
