Introduction

Creams For Acne

One of the scourges of teenagers as they enter and go through puberty, is acne. When I was a teenager my Dad always blamed my acne on candy, soft drinks and greasy fries. So I was limited in the amount of these foods I could have. But the acne kept on coming.

Causes of Acne

The exact cause of acne has not been determined, but many dermatologists believe it is caused by over-active sebaceous gland (oil gland) producing too much sebum (oil) that is used to lubricate your skin and hair. This over-activity is usually caused by over-active hormones such as when a teenager is going through puberty, pregnancy, pre-menstrual and other human conditions that can up set the hormone system.

When you have too much oil being secreted by the sebaceous gland, your skins pores will tend to clog up. When this happens you will develop acne if you also have to many dead skin cells and bacteria in your pores.

Cures For Acne

One good way to keep your face clear of acne is to properly care for your face and remove the excess oils, dead skin and bacteria. Performing three easy steps can easily do this.

Twice a day you should cleanse and moisturize your face. Once in the morning and once before you go to bed. This will help keep your skin free of excess oils and bacteria.

To remove the dead skin, you should exfoliate your face once or twice a week. This will not only remove the dead skin, but will expose fresh new skin.

You may also want to shrink your pores periodically after you cleanse your skin to keep bacteria out. You can easily do this by putting your face over some warm water for a few minutes. Then rinse your face with cool water. This process will shrink your pores and help keep bacteria out.

There are other creams, solutions and electronic lights out there to help you control acne, but the process I described, cleanse, moisturize, exfoliate, will not only help remove acne, but if you continue this as a daily habit, plus use sunscreen daily, you will maintain your youthful face and prevent wrinkles.

Conclusion

Though the exact cause of acne is not exactly known, dermatologist recommend keeping your face clean by cleansing, moisturize and exfoliating the skin on your face.
