Acne (Pimples) | |
Causes |

During adolescence, there is a sudden spurt in the secretion of sex hormones that cause increased formation of oils (sebum) from the sebaceous glands of the skin. Sebaceous glands are secretary glands that open into hair follicles and skin pores. There is accumulation of oily secretions from the sebaceous glands due to blockage of the external pores in the skin. Consequently, the oils and dead skin cells are trapped, and form small "plugs" known as "comedones" within the hair follicles of the skin. Bacteria act on these plugs aggravating the infection and causes the inflammation of the skin eruptions. The plug causes the hair follicle to bulge causing white-heads and if the top of the plug is darkened, it becomes black-heads. If the plug causes the wall of the follicle to rupture, the oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria found normally on the surface of the skin can enter the skin and form small infected areas called pustules also known as pimples or "zits". Family history of acne can also contribute to the development of acne. Other hormonal changes, can occur with menstrual periods, pregnancy, use of birth control pills, or stress and can aggravate acne. |

Posted on: 05/03/2012 I see this blog and would like to write some info that may be of help to anyone.
My daughter is 11 Yrs old and has started to have Acne all over her face. Someone who had the same problem but cured it almost 95% suggested us this herbal remedy combination:
Early morning empty stomach take one spoonful of combination of these three items 1] Turmeric root [ original not powder), you may have to make your own powder. 2)Ginger 3) Lemon.
I have started this for my daughter but not empty stomach because she is still a kid and won't take before school. The results are coming slowly and surely.
Try it, nothing is guaranteed though.

Posted on: 02/03/2011 When you have acne in your face, it is better to not touch it. Touching it and squeezing the pus out can lead to infection. All you need is to have a good facial hygiene every night, use a facial cleanser that is suited to your skin type and if you can afford it, consult a dermatologist. Sometimes, you also need to watch over your diet because it can also affect the appearance of acne.

Posted on: 10/27/2010 I've also had severe acne, and it's really annoying to look. Washing or keeping your face clean is also important, just don't overwash it because it'll dry up the skin, which isn't good. I've used PuraSkin Acne Treatment for my acne, and luckily worked on me. It did a good job!

Posted on: 10/12/2010 I have been recommending Purity 12 to my patients. I have personally seen the wonders and effects of Purity 12. After looking at what was in these products and trying them myself, I knew then that it would be a very effective and efficient way to help change the lives of my patients. I’ve personally tried them and experienced the change that it gave. I know my patients would agree because I would notice the difference in their glow and aura whenever they come back! |
