Almost every teenager dreads the day acne will strike them when
they least expect it. One of the biggest problems is that they
begin to panic and begin trying all sorts of remedies without
first hand knowledge about acne from a reliable physician or
doctor. So in this article I wish to reveal a few of the best
known ways to reduce and control acne. Notice I did not say
cure acne, because at this moment, there is no way to instantly
‘cure’ acne, but instead you can control it. The great thing is
that when you are in control, you can eventually reduce it and
finally get rid of it.
One of the best solutions to a quick acne treatment today’s
technology provides us with, is a simple hand held device that
uses heat to zap the acne away from your skin. Heat has been
known as one of the most effective ways to deal with the acne
bacteria so the creation of this gadget was highly anticipated.
The name of this little gadget is Zeno. You simply switch it on,
place it on the areas most affected on your face and watch as
the heat from Zeno destroys the bacteria. The problem with acne
is that it really is a pest and keeps coming back, so its best
this is done regularly. This device costs around $250.
If you can’t afford Zeno, then the ideal alternative solution
for you would be the traditional, non-scented soap and warm
water. Now don’t be fooled into washing five times a day. All
you need to do is wash your face twice daily, one time in the
morning when you wake up and the other time just before going
to bed. A popular misconception is that the more you wash the
better. This is not so and in fact washing your face more than
twice daily will spread the acne to other non-infected areas on
your face, so be careful. The warm water will also help in
opening the clogged pores which cause pimples.
Another great way to eliminate acne is to frequently visit
steam rooms in gymnasiums or you could simply have a steam bath
at home. This again goes back to using heat to control acne. The
perspiration will help cleanse the skin on your face. Do this
frequently and you should have a spotless face in no time.
Although there are many other ways to eliminate acne, the above
mentioned methods are amongst the best solutions for your acne
problems. The reason is because most creams and ointments that
doctors prescribe require three weeks of consistent usage
before you can actually begin to see results. The above methods
outlined will show you results within twenty four hours which is
what almost if not all of us are seeking.
