Acne Cream Treatment

Acne is usually caused when a body undergoes a lot of hormonal changes, for instance during puberty or pregnancy. AT such times, the body produces excess oil which resides in the pores of the skin. This oil then helps skin bacteria breed as well as traps dead skin cells and environmental pollutants like particles of dirt, dust, etc. This then leads to the onset of acne.

For an acne cream treatment to be effective, it has to treat the problem in its entirety. On one hand, it has to be able to thoroughly cleanse the pores of the skin of all the impurities residing in it. It also has to fight the acne producing bacteria in the pores of the skin and get rid of them completely. Additionally, it also has to remove excess oil that is trapped in the pores of the skin.

But, that is not all. Acne also causes the skin to get highly inflamed, itchy and causes redness and swelling as well. Your acne skin treatment should also be able to address these issues. It has to be able to cause the swelling and redness to reduce and disappear over time as well as provide relief from inflammation and itching.

Hence, a good acne cream treatment should have a cleanser, an anti-bacterial ingredient, an anti-inflammatory ingredient amongst other soothing and toning ingredients.

It is important to remember that simply applying an anti acne cream will not make the acne go away. It is crucial to combine acne cream treatment with a program of personal hygiene. Here are some tips:

• Wash your face with water several times a day. This will help reduce inflammation, will hydrate the skin and will wash off the dirt and dust from the surface of the skin. Don’t use soap or face wash every time you wash your face, as this may lead to drying of the skin which causes itching.

• Also, eat a well balanced diet to ensure that your body has all the help it needs during hormonal changes.

• Finally, if your acne cream treatment does not show any results after a few weeks, it may be time to consult a dermatologist.
