What is Acne?

on Friday, April 29, 2011

Acne is the most common skin disorders. More than 85% of Americans aged 12-25 will have acne at one time or another in their life. If left ignored or untreated, acne can become infected, causes scars, and pockmarks that become permanent on your skin face.

Acne occurs when the oil glands under your skin, become contaminated with oily toxic, which contains:
* acid waste
* bacteria
* dirt
* dead skin
* excess sebum (oil)


In normal condition, sebaceous (oil) glands produce oil through the pores of our skin surface. These oils are to keep your skin moist and lubricated for protection from the environment.

If your skin’s pores become plugged, these oils can not come out onto your skin. As a results in a growth or pimple that start to increase in size as more toxic oil tries to reach the surface of your skin.

If the pore walls burst under the skin, white blood cells move to digest the collagen around the pores. When this happens, you will have a scar on your face.

To avoid having scars, you need to start the acne-clearing program before you get acne or just as soon as you see acne coming so that your pimples and back heads do not get to the point where they get a severe infection and rupture.

Acne can go away by just doing one thing but do not expect. A facial cream, diet, herbal treatment, and colon cleanse alone may not be acne. The combination may or may not work.
