Top 5 ways to get rid of acne
Acne is a problem that affects a
large amount of people across the world.
Contrary to popular
misconceptions it does not discriminate completely against age
or sex. It's true that it does seem to be closely associated
with hormones and people who are suffering from high hormone
levels and for this reason teens are more likely to develop acne
than any other age group. However, over a quarter of adults will
also develop acne at some point in their adult lives. Adult acne
can cause depression and social anxiety so treating it can be
vital to sufferers.
There have been many different treatments
for acne in the past but many have failed to regularly and
consistently get rid of acne.
1- There are a number of cleansing lotions and moisturizers that
can be bought over the counter in chemists or supermarkets. These
have a varied degree of success and some will work better than
others. Unfortunately they can be expensive, especially if you need
to try several before you have any success.
2- Antibiotics can work well with some patients, but the body
quickly builds up an immunity to most antibiotics rendering them
useless. Also, while antibiotics might work to get rid of acne they
can also produce undesirable side effects in users. You may become
more light sensitive or suffer from dizziness or nausea.
3- Acne seems to be closely related to increased levels of
hormones.
For this reason many women suffer from acne at the same
time each month during their menstrual cycle. A doctor may
prescribe a
birth control pill that balances
hormone levels and therefore works effectively to get rid of
acne.
4- Vitamin derivatives and
nutritional supplements work very
well to get rid of acne as long as you buy the right ones.
Vitamins A, C and E as well as Iron
work well in the fight against acne and are readily available from
most grocery stores.
Some of these
supplements and derivatives can
have some notable side effects. The gels and creams will make you
more sensitive to light so you should always combine them with sun
screen.
5- Short treatments of intense light have been proven to be very
effective in helping your get rid of acne. usually conducted over a
four week period many patients have shown excellent progress,
especially when compared to medicines and other techniques.
