Acne Control and its Three Main Aims

You might not know the exact definition of 'acne control' but your common sense is probably right. Acne control is similar to acne cleansing but is more accurately defined as the methods to prevent acne from progressing to severe acne or from returning once one's problem has already been fixed. So, in a way, you are just getting and maintaining control of your acne.

There are numerous methods of acne control. Regardless of which methods you use, the basic goals to acne control are:

* Preventing the over production of sebum by the sebaceous glands

* Improving the health of the skin

* Control of the acne causing bacteria P. acnes

Slowing Sebum Production: Hormone Balance

By decreasing the activity of the sebaceous glands, your skin will be less oily, have smaller pores and reduce the possibility that other debris and bacteria will mix with sebum, facilitating the growth of the bacteria P. acnes that causes acne.

Additionally, hyperactive sebaceous glands can cause a strong and sudden outflow of sebum that actually injures the hair follicles. This injury is what causes the inflammation and redness that appears as acne lesions.

That being said, accomplishing this task is not easy and is usually only attempted in severe cases. Most acne products just remove sebum that has already been secreted.

Hormones control sebum production. During puberty, many teenagers suffer from acne because their testosterone levels have increased, resulting in more sebum production. There are several hormonal acne treatments available. Many teenage girls see an improvement in their skin when using birth control as an acne treatment.

Improving Skin Health: Nutrition and Health

Improving your overall health will have a positive impact on your skin. Proper nutrition and exercise means that your skin will get all of the nutrients and stimulation it needs to heal, repair and grow at its optimal level.

Experts recognize the important role vitamin A plays in skin health maintenance and have helped make it available in both natural and synthetic forms. It is one of few ingredients that actually reduces sebum production in addition to improving elasticity of skin and prevention of wrinkles.

Being physically active is a natural state of the human body. When you exercise, your body releases different hormones and proteins and learns to function better. The body normalizes and the immune system strengthens.

Reducing Acne-Causing Bacteria: Acne Products

Making sure you engage in a proper cleansing routine is crucial. Most will include one if not several antibacterial or antimicrobial ingredients. It may take awhile to figure out the best acne complex for you but make sure that the product is oil free and non-comedogenic (meaning it won't clog pores). With ingredients you aren't sure of, test out the product on your hand first to confirm you have no negative reaction to it. Nothing can be more mortifying than an allergic reaction on your face!
