Acne is a condition that effects 1 out of every 2 teens today. It is characterized by red, raised bumps and patches. Overactive sebacious glands cause these bumps. This is usually due to puberty and resultant hormonal imbalances and pH abnormalities. These make optimal conditions for acne causing bacteria. This acne can result in psychological problems and scars that can last a lifetime. This doesn't have to happen. By changing our habits we can lower our chances of getting acne or greatly reduce its impact. Using cleansers instead of soap will prove less irritating (Cetaphil). Eat a well balanced diet (plenty of vegetables, juices, fruits, and especially fish high in omega-3 fatty acids (salmon). This will promote cleaner, healthier skin and reduce the conditions for acne and acne causing bacteria. Use products with salicylic acid as it is far more effective than any benzoyl peroxide creams and solutions. Salicylic will clean out the deepest pores and kill the bacteria. We need to get several layers down to the source, the bacteria, inflammation, and the sebacious glands where acne forms. Plastic surgeons know that TCA skin peels are better than any other skin peel or treatment for acne. This is why plastic surgeons, dermatologists and doctors use TCA peels (trichloroacetic acid) to reach the source of the acne, normalize the skin pH, and increase skin and collagen production. TCA skin peels have been clinically proven for years to treat and cure acne better than any other treatment (including other peels, lasers and even Accutane) without any of the horrible side effects - Accutane can cause severe side effects. TCA peels used to cost $1000 or more per treatment at your local plastic surgeons office. Now you can do it yourself and save a bundle - they are available for around $30 on the internet (please see the link below for more info on TCA peels for in home use.) TCA peels are proven to be the safest, easiest to apply, and most effective of all the skin peels currently available. Start taking better care of yourself. Keep your skin clean. Eat a well balanced diet and get a TCA peel - your skin will clear up, your acne will improve and you will feel so much better! |
