Sun Exposure is bad for acne!

A lot of people think that tanning and sun exposure is good for acne and seek the sun to dry up their pimples, but sun actually aggravates skin and causes more pimples.

Sun damages and irritates the skin, and while it may temporarily make pimple dry up or blend in with darker skin so you don't notice them as much, the result is over stimulation of the sebaceous glands which results in more acne.

Simple Acne Trick from a Guy

Blackheads are a common problem for teens and young adults, and some parts of the face are prone to produce blackheads (such as on the nose and chin) even as they pass 50 and 60. A clogged pore can be open (blackhead) or closed by skin (whitehead), and occur with or without acne

Do you have problems with blackheads on your nose, chin and other areas? This acne tip comes from a young man who works in skin care:

Ever since I was a teenager, one of my biggest skin complaints has been pesky blackheads on my nose. Over the years I found this trick works best: 

Three times a week at night, I use a special Micro-Dermabrasion Paste to remove dry cells that clog pores, followed by an Acne  Treatment Sulfur Wash as a 10-minute pore-clearing mask on dry skin. Then I use the remaining Acne-Fighting Regimen products as usual. My skin has never looked better.

Common Causes of Acne

Acne can effect people of almost all ages, races and genders.

Many things are said to cause acne, including greasy food, dirty skin, and clogged pores. However, none of these problems actually cause acne by themselves.

Acne is usually caused when overactive oil glands in the sebaceous glands the skin become stimulated by hormones during the teen years. The excess oil combines with dirt, and bacteria, and the resulting irritation is seen on the surface of the skin. These lesions are commonly called pimples, blemishes, whiteheads, blackheads and zits.

The condition is more common in boys than in girls, and people with a family history of acne are more likely to get the disease. Stress can bring on or aggravate acne, and certain drugs can cause flare-ups including tranquilizers, antidepressants, antibiotics, oral contraceptives, and anabolic steroids. It is always good to consult with a doctor about acne to determine if medication or hormonal disorders may play a part. Other than medical condition, acne is usually the result of dirt, oil and bacteria clogged in pores.
