I know i asked this before like 2 mins ago but i spelled acne wrong so bear with me.How can i get rid of acne and scabbed acne?
- hey Ryan !
- I have a book here called 1,801 Home Remedies
- Trustworthy treatments for everyday health problems.
- I'll write everything down for U, so bare with me okay.
- Acne:
- If scientist can decipher the human genome, U'd think they could find a way 2 eradicate acne.
- No suck luck.
- It's up 2 U 2 deal with the outbreaks that can damage U're pride of appearance long after teenage angst past.
- When a pimple rears it's ugly black, white, or red head, over-the-counter products can help.
- But so can simple remedies from Mother Nature's medicine chest.
What's wrong ?
- U're skin is producing 2 much sebum (the thick oily substance that acts as a natural lubricant) %26amp; the excess is blocking U're pores.
- There R 2 kinds of acne.
- The most common form ';acne vulgaris'; shows up on U're face, chest, shoulders or back as blackheads, whiteheads or red blemishes.
- ';Cystic acne'; appears as painful cysts or firm painless limps.
- Fluctuating hormones caused by puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, perimenopause or birth-control pills often increase the production of sebum, which can trigger an outbreak of either type.
- Other culprits include emotional stress, clothing that rubs against the skin %26amp; some drugs (such as steroids).
- Genetics may also play a role.
- Zap Zits Now:
- The first avenue of assault is an over-the-counter cream or gel formulated with ';benzoyl peroxide';.
- It works by mildly irritating the skin, which encourage dying skin cells 2 flake off.
- This helps reopen clogged pores.
- Benzoyl peroxide also kills the bacteria that infect clogged pores.
- Alpha-hydroxy acid (AHAs), such as glycolic acid, slough off the outermost layer of skin, which helps keep pores clean %26amp; unclogged.
- Opt for a cream, lotion or gel that contains 8% glycolic acid.
- At the first hint of a pimple, wrap an ice cube in a piece of plastic wrap %26amp; hold it 2 the area at least twice a day, every hour if U can, but no for no longer than 5 minutes each time.
- The cold will reduce the redness %26amp; ease the inflammation.
- Pop an aspirin or 2 :
- Taking 1 or two 325 milligram tablets 4 times a day can help calm an acne outbreak by reducing inflammation. (check with U're doctor before taking aspirin regularly.)
- Try Alternative Acne Treatments:
- 3 times a day, dab a drop of tea-tree oil on blemishes 2 discourage infection %26amp; speed healing.
- Research has found that 5% tea-tree oil is as effective against acne as a 5% benzoyl peroxide solution.
- Dab vinegar or lemon juice on pimples.
- All vinegars contains acids that can help flush out pores %26amp; so does lemon juice.
- An old folk remedy for healing pimples is 2 use a mixture of spice %26amp; honey on them.
- Combine 1 teaspoon powdered nutmeg %26amp; 1 teaspoon honey %26amp; apply it 2 the pimple.
- Leave on for 20 minutes, then wash off.
- There's no proof that this hyelps, but honey does have antiseptic properties.
- Apply aloe vera:
- 1 study found that 90% of skin sores were completely healed with aleo vera within 5 days.
- Think zinc:
- People with acne tend 2 have lower than normal zinc levels.
- Zinc supplements produce visible improvement in about a third of people who take them.
- U'll need high doses though (between 200 %26amp; 600 milligrams daily), so take it only under U're doctor's supervision.
- The Power Of Prevention:
- If U keep skin free of dirt %26amp; axcess oil (the thinking goes) perhaps U're pores will never get clogged.
- But over-cleansing can cause acne by making U're sebaceous glads produce more oil.
- Forgo granulated cleansers %26amp; avoid washcloths, cuz they can be abrasive %26amp; can accumulate bacteria if U reuse them.
- Instead, use a disposable cleansing cloth or cotton pads.
- Make a skin-cleansing solution 2 help clear up blackheads.
- Add 1 teaspoon of Epsom salt %26amp; 3 drops of iodine 2 one-half cup of water %26amp; bring 2 a boil %26amp; then let cool.
- Dip in a clean cotton pad %26amp; use it 2 clean the pores.
- Men; rince U're razor in alcohol after U use it so any bacteria it harbors won't transfer itself 2 u're face.
- 2 Squeeze or Not 2 Squeeze:
- If U absolutely, positively must squeeze U're blemishes, here's the dermatologist-approved method (%26amp; this is only valid for whiteheads)
- Clean the area well.
- light a match %26amp; hold the tip of a needle in the flame for 3 seconds.
- Then gently nick the surface of the pimple.
- Use a cotton swab 2 drain it, then clean it with hydrogen peroxide, if U wish.
- But don't squeeze or pick, cuz U'll make it worse.
- 2 ';squeeze'; a blackhead, use a blackhead extractor, available in drugstores.
- Soften the blemish with a hot-water compress for 10 minutes before U use it, %26amp; wash U're hands beforehand 2 reduce the chances of infection.
- Well.....
- ther U R dude.
- That's all she wrote, lol.
PS: I find that if I wash my face with a goat's milk soap when I first jump in the shower, it will remove all the dirt, oil %26amp; dead skin.
- then after I'm done my shower %26amp; just before I get out, I wash my face with some ';St. Ives'; clear pore cleanser.
- then I dry off %26amp; use a ';neutrogena deep clean invigorating dual action toner';
- U'll be amaze on just how clear U're face will become.
- good luck %26amp; chow bro !How can i get rid of acne and scabbed acne?
Well, you should try either Proactive, or this thing called Acne Free. It's like a store brand of Proactive and you can usually find it at Walmart, Target, Walgreen's, etc. And it works pretty well. Also you should always wash your face once a day with some mild soap like Dove, it doesn't really have a scent and it is gentle on your skin.
Hope that helps. ^.^
Lemons. The juice kills the bacteria that cause acne. Open your pores first with steam ( a how shower works).
