Acne on the face and body
is a very common but usually distressing condition.
Acne is not solely the burden of teenagers - adults
are still affected by recurring acne. Causes such
as hormonal imbalance might trigger or worsen acne
at any given age. Acne can also be worsened by bad
life habits such as consuming foods that are rich
in fat content.
 Acne
is a mutli-million dollar market and everyday,
there are new creams and treatments launched
promising the cure for acne problems.
Basic hygiene is crucial
in helping the control acne beginning and
recurrences. Although it is very good to exercise
regularly, a person suffering from acne should take
special precaution to ensure proper hydration and
skin hygiene during and after an exercise program.
Sweat can clog skin pores and lead to breakouts all
over.
Other things that can
cause body acne are fabrics that do not allow
proper skin breathing or wearing too much clothing
- it traps sweat against the skin, leading to
clogged pores and blemishes. Stress and hormones
are also known causes of acne. Body acne is more
common on the chest and the back.
There are simple measures
to help control body and face acne: to control body
and face acne and prevent it from returning, it is
recommended to wash one's face and body daily with
a salicylic acid based cleanser. It is always
recommended to have consulted a qualified doctor
first. Then, a cleansing soap used daily can be of
great help. Product labels will tell you
the
ingredients of the cleansing soap.
To control acne and
minimize its appearance, it is recommended to
shower daily and be sure to shower as soon as
possible anytime an activity creating sweating has
been done. Such activity can be playing sports,
working outside or just being in the sun. After the
shower, the person suffering from acne can follow
up by a body moisturizer that contains Alfa Hydroxy
acid if the doctor approves of its use. This will
exfoliate skin and help prevent breakouts, without
drying skin out.
Body acne can be treated
like facial acne at night time by applying an acne
gel or cream treatment at the effected
parts.
In cases of an acne that
are particularly bad and do not respond to these
measures after about a month, consulting a
dermatologist will prove helpful. Participating in
forums devoted to people suffering from acne and
exchanging tricks and experiences can be very
helpful. A person can also consult the many web
sites dedicated to helping people suffering from
body and face acne.
