Skin Care For Acne Step 3 By Ross

Skin Care For Acne Step 3: Treating Acne Scars

Hey guys, let’s just say in the past, you had some mild acne, maybe some more severe acne, you finally got that resolved and now you’re left with terrible acne scars. If you’re watching this video, just know you’re not alone because it was my most highly requested video topic and I took some time to make it because I wanted to make sure we got all the information right the first time. Let’s get started, I want to try to cramp this all in under 10 minutes.

First off let’s talk about some of the causes of acne scars. They are pretty unpredictable in general, they may just occur as a result of having acne but some of the most serious acne scars occur as a result of overall manipulation. Maybe you had acne and you really had very poor self control, you couldn’t stop yourself from picking poking and popping pimples. Maybe the acne was coming on faster than your skin could actually handle, and it just causes your skin to kind of break down and left you with some terrible scars.

In general, it doesn’t matter how you got it. It’s a painful thing to experience and we want to make sure you can resolve that also just like you resolved your acne. In general the most important thing for healing your acne scars is just time. They will eventually go away on their own especially some of the more mild types of acne scars. But I’m going to talk about some of the things you can do on your own to help accelerate scar healing and also some of the professional treatments that are available but you may want to consider, they’re going to be very expensive. So just weigh out the benefits and the negative each one.

  Is Vitamin E Good For Acne?

The first thing I want to address is vitamin E. People seem to think that vitamin E is the cure-all in vitamin when it comes the scar healing, whether it’s on your body or on your face. Now I want to let you know that vitamin E is not what you should be using to cure and heal your acne scars. I did a little research on this and there have been independent research done that shows vitamin E actually is detrimental to scar healing. It can make it worse, it does not improve how quickly the scar will heal and it doesn’t make the end result any better than other treatments. So just drop vitamin E, stop taking those capsules and breaking them open and smear on your face. It’s not what you want to do. No, that’s out of the way.

Let’s talk about the different types of acne scars. They can range from pretty mild redness and inflammation, to a little bit more moderate discolorations like brown or purple marks, finally to the most severe which would be physical changes in your skin like pitting, changes in the texture that you can actually feel. The most mild form of acne scars which was the inflammation, will go away on its own but it’s going to take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. You must have patience and, in the meantime, the best thing you can do is don’t make it worse.

Just treat your skin good, have a good skin care routine, protect your skin from the sun, which can cause exacerbations of your acne scars, and let time do its work. Sun exposure and sun damage will make your acne scars worse. It’s very important to wear sunscreen every day, as if I haven’t said it a thousand times, and just follow a good skin care routine in general. Using good face wash, use a good moisturizer every day and every night, and keep your skin hydrated so it can do its work.

I don’t want to dwell too much on the mild types of acne scars because there really isn’t too much you can do for them except let time do its work. If you do have discolorations so we’re talking about brown or purple marks there are some things that you can do on your own. You might want to look into chemical exfoliants and I’ve talked about them before.

  Chemical Exfoliants For Acne Scars

Chemical exfoliants are things like BHA also known as salicylic acid, or AHA, alpha hydroxy acid also known as glycolic acid. These chemical exfoliants will promote cellular turnover which is basically a natural function of skin but the exfoliant causes it to occur faster so you’re going to be stripping off the top layers of your skin, encouraging your skin to produce new cells, and you know, promote cellular turnover. I don’t know how else to explain it.

There are some excellent products available in the market. My favorite one is by Paula’s Choice. I’m just putting it out there for the fiftieth thousand time. Their BHA AHA products are awesome and they will be beneficial to your skin whether you still have acne, active acne or whether you’re just trying to combat your acne scars.

So again that was the BHA, beta hydroxy acid, and AHA. Both of those are chemical exfoliant. Also you can look into mechanical exfoliant. It’s things like scrubs, maybe a washcloth that you used to gently scrub your face, morning and night or a face brush that again, it’s the same thing you’re just gently removing the dead skin cells from the outermost layers of your skin. That’s going to do the same thing in terms of promoting a faster turnover rate in your skin.

  Professional Treatments For Acne Scars

If you want to look for professional help, you can always go to a spa or salon and see an aesthetician, someone that specializes in skin care and you can try a microdermabrasion. If you do go to a spa or a salon, the aesthetician will give you a very superficial microderm, that’s something that���s important to know.

Aestheticians can’t take off very many layers of skin because they’re not licensed like a practitioner is. The microderm is much more intense than anything you could do on your own, but it takes off a couple more layers of skin and really causes that healing process to occur, hopefully revealing younger more healthy skin on underneath layers.

If you want to go for a more serious like microdermabrasion, you can see a practitioner who will go much deeper than an aesthetician will, they’ll have specific instructions on things that you need to do in order to protect your skin afterwards but it’s going to be a little bit faster than what you would get at the spa.

If you do decide to choose microdermabrasion, it’s important to keep it on a regular basis like once a month and protecting your skin afterwards is incredibly important because your skin is going to be very vulnerable to the damaging effects of the sun and ultraviolet light.

Finally, moving on to the most serious form of acne scars, I’m talking about pitting and changes in the texture of your skin. Most of the time, your best option is going to be available from an actual dermatologist or a practitioner of some sort. Laser therapy is the number one treatment when it comes to treating acne scars but it’s incredibly expensive in the thousands and thousands of dollars per treatment. What that will do is it actually uses a very specific laser to damage the outermost layers of your skin and really promote the growth of a perfectly normal and healthy skin underneath. It is one of those things that takes multiple treatments but at the end of the day your skin is worth it.

Skin is your largest organ in your body, it will boost your confidence and it’s something that you might want to look into more seriously. I always want to make this clear though you don’t want to make your acne scars worse. So if you still do have active acne don’t be popping them or picking at them. Just let your skin heal. Follow some of my other advice in terms of building a really good skin care routine and let time do its job.

Some other professional treatments that might be available include acid peels which are different from the chemical exfoliants I was talking about earlier. Acid peels are going to be much more intense, again they’re going to go it’s all about accessing those deeper layers of your skin and causing much more damaged which will allow your skin to rejuvenate itself. All that kind of stuff must be administered by an actual practitioner or microderm or dermatologists because they are very risky and there’s very precise timing involved with it.

  In Conclusion

Just know that regardless of what the products available over-the-counter claim, there is no miracle ingredient for treating your acne scars. Vitamin E is not going to do it. You just have to treat your skin good, use some things that cause exfoliation, whether it’s a chemical or mechanical option, and potentially seek professional help if you have serious acne scars.

I apologize because that’s it. That’s all available in market and it is a very unfortunate thing, acne scars can be very painful to have and you can experience very poor self-esteem. But just by you watching this video, you’re already taking the next step into healing yourself and getting a better skin. So check out some of my other videos. If you’re new to this whole thing about acne skin care, you can build a routine, you can learn a lot. So thanks for watching guys. I really hope that helped you a little bit and just clarify some things as you try to resolve your acne scars. Alright, take care.

Skin Care For Acne Step 1 By Ross

Skin Care For Acne Step 1: Identify Type and Cause

Hey guys, this is the video you have been waiting for. This is the first video in a series on skin care for acne. Now, this topic was highly requested. I want you to know that if you’re watching this video, you are not alone.

Acne is such a common problem and some people are just better covering up than others. Keep in mind, it is not a one-size-fits-all thing. Many products on the market today are just labelled as one-size-fits-all treatment. And in my opinion that is not the right way to treat acne. Every person is an individual, every situation is going to be different and the cause of the situation is going to be different. That’s why we’re starting off today with identifying the type of acne you have and identifying the causes behind that acne.

The battle against acne can be extremely painful, both emotionally and physically. My advice is going to be more geared toward mild to moderate acne. If you do have severe cystic acne (cystic acne is the type that is very painful, hard, nodes underneath of the skin), you should absolutely talk to your doctor. Only prescription strength products are going to be appropriate for treating severe cystic acne. So, keep that in mind, if you have mild to moderate problems, that’s okay, that’s why I’m here to help you. If you have more serious problems, you should absolutely talk to your doctor.

The best part about this video is that – it is totally free. I enjoy doing this. I enjoy sharing my knowledge with people. Take it for what it’s worth, empower yourself with the knowledge and you really will be able to help yourself. Let’s get started. We’re going to talk about identifying the cause of your acne and identifying the type of that you have.

  Identifying The Types Of Acne

I generally put it into three different categories: 1) blackheads; 2) whiteheads, or the more serious 3) papules and pustules.

1) Blackheads are relatively easy to take care of. You might see them around your nose, around your chin area, sometimes on your cheeks. They’re not too common to have blackheads on your forehead. Maybe on your back a little bit but mostly on your face. What happens with the blackhead is you have a pore or a hair follicle that is clogged. It’s as simple as that.

Now what is your pore clogged with? Well, it could be a couple of different things. It could be excess oil, which is called the sebum. It could be dirt and dust from the environment. It could be dead skin cells. Our skin is constantly renewing itself and shedding these old layers. If those skin cells aren’t able to come out and just fall off, then they’re going to be stuck in your pores and they could really cause some trouble.

With a blackhead, that oil, those dead skin cells are trapped in there but it is still open to the air. Air can get in and what happens is that air oxidizes the oil in the pore. It’ll start off changing to a yellowish colour, brown and the longer you let it go, it might even turn black which is where the name comes from.

2) Now moving on to whiteheads. The very similar situation, it’s a clogged pore or a clogged hair follicle but it is not open to the air. It is actually closed off so when you can see that actual whitehead, you’re actually looking at that oil. Those dead cells that are trapped underneath the layers of your skin, at this point there’s no infection.

3) When you do start to get an infection underneath of your skin, then it moves on to a more serious type of acne called papules and pustules. Papules are a little bit deeper under the skin. They do not have a head and they’re generally tend to be painful when you push on them. You might see some redness, some swelling of the skin around it.

Pustules are the same thing except they’re a little bit more towards the surface and they do have a head. What’s happening on your skin there, is there’s that trapped oil, that traps sebum as we call it. And there’s special bacteria under the skin that actually feeds on that oil and the dead skin cells. This triggers an immune response from your body, so it starts sending white blood cells to attack that bacteria and eat it up basically. You’ll see the swelling, the redness that I talked about, and it can be a little bit painful too. This is more of a problem generally for people, because it can be cover a large surface area. You got to keep that in mind.

Why I put them in these three categories is because we treat them all differently, which is going to be another video, but figure out what you have and you might have a combination of whiteheads, blackheads and then the more serious infected papules and pustules.

  Identifying The Causes Of Acne

Now that we know about the three different types, let’s talk about the three different, the multiple causes of acne we already know that an excess oil production can cause acne, so that is generally a hormone imbalance. It’s very common in teens and even some young adults. If you have hormones that are triggering your body to produce more oil than it can handle, you’re going to see some acne.

Another common thing that I see is acne that is localized to certain areas on your face. Some people see or just around their chin, maybe under their jaw line, or on the edge of their hairline. Think about what you do during the day. Do you sit at your desk with your hand on your chin? There’s oil and bacteria and dirt on your hands. If you’re physically putting that on your face, you’re going to cause some trouble, so keep that in mind.

Something similar to that I see is for younger females on their neck and their upper back. If you have hair that’s up in a ponytail, is your hair dangling down and are brushing up against your skin? There’s a lot of natural oils and grease that is in the hair and that can absolutely cause some trouble on your upper back. It happened to my sisters and I was able to identify right off the back. Her hair was in the ponytail. It was touching her upper back and she had a localized spot of acne just because of her hair.

You got to look at every, your situation in particular, and figure out is it because you touch your face, do you pick your face without thinking about it, is your hair long, is it touching your back and the grease clogging your pores? Everyone’s going to be a little bit different, but generally, if it is truly a hormonal imbalance, there’s a couple of different things I’m going to address in future videos of how to take care of that acne.

How To Pop A Pimple Without Making It Worse – Dr. Ava Shamban

How To Pop A Pimple

Can touch in your face somehow cause the spread of acne? The answer to that is a very simple, yes ~ no ~ maybe.

Okay so you have a pimple right here and you want to pop it, great, should you or shouldn’t you? Mostly you shouldn’t because the truth is that though popping a pimple, possibly might get rid of it a tiny bit faster. It’s a much bigger possibility that you will cause unintentional damage and spread the problem even more.

It sorts of makes sense that popping a pimple will open up the blockage and release everything that’s trapped below, right? Wrong. It could have that effect if you are extraordinarily careful but more than likely what will end up happening is that you will inadvertently spread the infection and this is why.

If you apply too much pressure onto the skin, what you’re really doing is pushing that build-up of oil and bacteria down, which causes pressure, the bacteria spread all through your skin and suddenly, what was one contained problem has now multiplied into multiple, not so contained problems.

In addition, picking at your skin has a huge potential of causing scarring and I’m talking about permanent scarring. So don’t do it. What Dr. Ava, you ask, I just have a single whitehead and I’ve got a really hot date. What am I gonna do? Okay, in that case because a whitehead isn’t inflammatory, you might be okay if you do it properly.

Here’s what I mean, you take a warm washcloth, you hold it on to the pimple. That will soften up the rice krispy top. Then very gently, take two q-tips and apply a little bit of pressure, just so that little whiteness comes out. Afterward, you can put a little soap and water on it followed by hydrogen peroxide, some salicylic acid or even a tiny bit of toothpaste. You can take that off and put your makeup on before you go on your hot date. That’s how you pop a pimple.

Caution: If your acne is more than just a simple occasional whitehead, steer clear of popping or picking at it. You’re much better off seeing a dermatologist.

20% Adult Women Suffer From Acne – Dr. Ava Shamban

Adult Acne In Women

Maybe you suffer through breakouts as a teen, or maybe you didn’t. But adult acne is just more proof that life is full of surprises but don’t despair, you can do something about it.

Aside from being absolutely horrifying, breakouts in adult women behave a bit differently than they did in our teens where acne popped up anywhere. Adult acne tends to cluster along the jawline, chin, neck and chest. In fact, the numbers of women getting adult acne is increasing rapidly.

One in five adult women suffer from acne. Why is that? Stress. We’ve become the ultimate multitaskers. All of this stress leads to increased cortisol levels. Cortisol is produced by the adrenal gland in response to stress. Our bodies used to produce it only in moments of imminent danger. Now it’s just an integral part of our daily lives.

Number #1. Here’s a speedy spot treatment that can help make a blemish look less angry right away. First cleanse with hydrogen peroxide, then ice it until the skin is chilled. Finally, apply a dab of cortisone and wait 2-3 minutes. You should look better within the hour.

Number #2. This anti acne regimen is straightforward but needs to be tailored to your skin type. A gentle cleanser twice a day, a salicylic acid moisturizer with SPF in the morning and at night at benzoyl peroxide product plus moisturizer.

Number #3. Manage your stress. Establish a routine, exercise, eat well, meditate, going to bed and getting up at the same time, take care of yourself like you would a child. The rest of the pieces of the puzzle will fall into place and you will watch your acne vanish.

Number #4. Choose what you eat, switch to a low glycemic diet, which means no packaged foods with ingredients you can’t pronounce, or ingredients such as high fructose corn syrup. We all know the value of changing to a diet that our bodies were designed for ~ proteins, fruits, vegetables, not donuts.

Number #5. Finally, if your acne is painful and cystic doesn’t clear, or is leaving you with indented scars or brown spots, please see a dermatologist or healthcare professional to prevent permanent damage.

Dr. Ava Shamban Tells You What Is Acne, How To Get Rid Of It Forever

What Is Acne & How To Get Rid Of It Forever

Acne, acne, acne, what is acne anyway?

Now, there are a lot of different types of acne, acne mechanica, acne fulminans, pyoderma faciale, acne conglobata, consort acne, pomade acne, acne rosacea, but the most common form of acne, the one that we generally refer to when we simply say acne is “acne vulgaris”. These are the blackheads and the whiteheads and the bright-red pimples that torment us in our teenage years that sometimes turn into papules, pustules, nodule, cysts.

That may sound like a lot of fancy doctor to “blah blah blah” but what’s actually happening inside your skin is really quite simple, kind of. All you really need to know is that your skin is constantly shedding dead cells, it’s the natural way that our skin breathes and rejuvenates itself. Some of those dead skin cells get out through your body through tiny little holes called “pores”. People, everybody hates their pores. People talk about them non-stop these pores are connected to the oil glands through a canal called a “follicle”. These oil glands produce a greasy substance called “sebum” which is your body’s own natural moisturizer that lubricates your skin.

Trouble begins when the process slows down and the oil and the skin cells clump together and clog the pore, blocking the pathway out. Think of it like here in your shower drain, clogged or not, your body doesn’t just stop creating more oil or skin so. What happens is that instead of going out, all that oil builds up underneath which pushes out the skin, creating the bump or pimple that we all read.

Acne goes into full bloom when the bacteria notice Propionibacterium-acne jumps onto the scene. To fight this mob, your immune system rushes bacteria fighting your white blood cells to the scene and the unfortunate side effect all of this is a reddening of the skin in the affected areas. So what does it look like? It looks like a volcanic explosion, like a pizza gone bad.

So just imagine, when you have acne, what’s really actually going on is an epic power struggle between your immune system, bacterial cells, clogged pores. Nothing can get free. That’s the simplest way to understand it.

Acne Tips:

No 1. Use an acne skincare routine twice a day. Every day for the years you have acne.

No 2. Ideally your skin routine should contain some combination of benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid.

No 3. Use a moisturizer. All acne treatments are drying to the skin and you will have a reflux oiliness unless you use a lightweight moisturizer.

No 4. Try some do-it-yourself acne remedies such as plain Greek yogurt, mixed with a spoonful of honey, apply it to your face. Another option is playing egg yolk. For more recipes, see my book Heal Your Skin and…

No 5. If your acne is severe and is not going away, don’t waste any time, go see your dermatologist.

Exposed Skin Care, Reviewed by Rachelle, BorderHammer

Exposed Skin Care, Reviewed by Rachelle

Hello everyone, this is Rachelle and today I want to bring you guys a new skincare line that I’ve been trying it out. It’s a brand called Exposed Skin Care and here, it is here, and it come to a plethora of things for me to try out. It is for acne prone skin. The thing I like about this brand is that they do try to include some natural elements in it. Some tea tree oil, witch hazel and I think peppermint oil so I did appreciate that. I feel like it’s gentle enough for older skin and like teenage skin. I’m not sure how would we do with more severe cases but it says on packaging it works for that as well. I believe just more of the product would need to be applied.

So anyway I want to introduce you to everything I’ve been used and let you know my thoughts on it. So let’s here we go. And by the way guys, they have like a one-year money-back guarantee. Okay? So a whole year to try this. There’s something go wrong, you know you can get your money back. Listen, actually less expensive than what I normally use and I do normally use a different brand but it just so happened that I was on my last leg of vets. I was like, there goes fall back again. But I was contacted by this company to review their brand. So, okay that’s right on time.

This is how your product will come to you if It is something that you’re interested in ordering. That comes with a little information graphic here (Quick Start Guide). It tells you how to prevent acne and things like that. Things with kind of new but some of you may or may not know for instance, change your pillowcase, drink plenty of water, avoid sugar and dairy (that’s a big one for me), keep your hands out of your face, when you sweat, wash it off. it’s not a skincare line just for your face. Five people have the acne on their shoulders and back, and they have included a body wash just for you. It is still has the active ingredient in there – Salicylic Acid. The thing about it is it’s in a much lower percentage so won’t be harsh on your body.

By the way guys, click the link below and use promo code freebodywash127 and they’ll throw this body wash in free with any $40 purchase. Okay guys, let’s get crazy with these products super quick.

They have the Exposed Facial Cleanser, the clearing toner or it says Clearing Tonic but it’s a toner, Acne Treatment Serum, a Clear Pore Serum, a Microderm Scrub. And it has like this, the exfoliating cloths and I spoke to you guys about these before in another acne video. So I know how helpful these can be. Ah guys, I can’t speak for every product in this box because I haven’t used it the product in the box. I’m going to talk to you about what I have used and what I like.

Now three products that I have used to be facial cleanser, the clearing tonic or toner basically, what is, and the clear pore serum. I use the facial cleanser and again the main ingredient Salicylic Acid, but it’s in a lower concentration. Salicylic Acid in this facial cleanser is 0.5%. As Pro-Vitamin B5, sage extract, like a lot of the acne washes, you’re going to feel it, you feel a little tightness after you have used up, you dry your skin. I didn’t feel that at all with any of these products. In fact, it somehow my skin felt more moisturized.

And the next one that I want to talk to you about is a clearing tonic. Love this and it’s basically a toner and this one has the green tea extract, passion flower and Azelaic Acid. It has a little bit more of the Salicylic Acid in there. So this has 1% but even still is less than what I normally use.

This is the clear pore serum, Salicylic Acid acne treatment. And it has a licorice root, green tea extract and meadowsweet.

Alright, and you know what you have like the clogged pores of the, I guess blackheads what they are, you know strips, rip it out. That hurts, doesn’t that? It hurts, okay? So I wanted to try this and see if it would help clear out the pores stuff and I did find it did. I noticed about maybe a 75% reduction overnight. I’ll tell you why. I have a new certain ones too. One in particular, the acne treatment serum. Okay? I feel like it works. It does when I use it once by accident because I was enjoying the rest of the stuff that I was using and I saw this bag in the box. And I was oh I forgot to use this on, why had I not use, without realizing I set it aside because it has an ingredient in there my skin is not happy with – Benzoyl Peroxide.

So like I said, not thinking, I picked it up and I had a little something coming in and I want to put this, use it as a treatment. Didn’t realize ahead Benzoyl Peroxide in it and my face swollen up. But it’s not this product. Can be just the ingredient in general. All we knew that, it worked, I mean take the bomb away but like I said can’t use that. You have a product that can’t really speak on, it’s a microderm scrub. I didn’t use it because I already have a nice exfoliating system that I’m using, I want to talk to you about that too. So I didn’t have a chance to use this but I probably will at some point and the Derm-X Cloth, I already have this and I know this works well.

So in the brand call Exposedskincare.com, I hope you guys have enjoyed this honest review as always. I put links and promo code all the stuff below. Oh yeah guys, hope you guys have enjoyed the review. Questions, comments, concerns, do leave them below and I’ll see you on the next one and thank you so much to Exposed for sending me this wonderful skincare line. Do appreciate it. Thank you so much now.

See you guys on the next one and talk to you soon, bye.

Face Cleansing Brush: Dermatologist-Designed For Acne

Face Cleansing Brush For Acne

The best way to keep acne away from the face is by keeping the face clean and free of dirt, oil and makeup all the time. What we have seen however, is that no matter how people try to achieve this, they often fail because there is no guarantee that impurities will not hang around the pores. These impurities are always present because they are usually unreachable when we clean the face with our hands, sponges, washrags, etc.

Your face deserves all the tender, loving care you can give it, because it is the principal makeup of your body and by a large extent, it determines the essence of your body. One important tool that you need to give your face the perfect care it deserves and keep it clean, exfoliated, smooth and glowing is the facial cleansing brush.

Facial cleansing brushes are one of the essential skin care tools for the treatment of acne and for clean, radiant skin. Our exposure to dirt on a daily basis leaves a ton of it on our face and our body. While our clothes cover much of the dirt that falls on our skin, no piece of fabric actually covers the face and this is why it is important that one take proper care to ensure it is dirt and germs free.

Usually, when acne settles on a face, dermatologists find a hard time suggesting medications, as they may be a dip in a wild pool. They believe proper care can prevent any skin ailment and this is why they suggest ways to get your skin better without necessarily resorting to medication.

  How Do Facial Cleansing Brushes Work?

A face brush allows dead skin exfoliate faster and allows the production of more collagen that will give a tighter skin. The face brush removes any oil or debris that blocks your pores and will allow medication and other cosmetic applied on the skin penetrate through the pores.

Acne is generated subcutaneously and this leaves us with no much option to prevent them. In essence, it is necessary to try to take care of acne and do not allow it foster from the outside. There may be drugs to combat acne subcutaneously, but dermatologists have continued to make it clear that heredity and excess secretion of sebum are major factors that affect acne formation.

The facial brush is a very vital tool because it is gentle on the skin and is naturally designed to tackle bacteria formation. It creates a massaging effect on the spots where it is applied, while it promotes blood circulation as well as increased generation of collagen and are perfect for the most sensitive skin because they are smooth, soft and silky. Facial brushes are especially perfect for the removal of makeup, environmental pollutants and dirt that aids the formation of acne on the face.

While all of the benefits of the facial brush are targeted in one direction, it should be noted that there are precautions that should be considered strongly so that it can yield the best results as desired.

  Precautions While Using Facial Cleansing Brushes

The most important precaution is to ensure that you purchase a dermatologist-designed facial cleansing brush. Buying another type of brush and using such in place of facial brush is the first signal of a disaster waiting to happen. It is imperative that you check the bristles of the facial brush and you should likewise ensure that it is dermatologically tested.

After the purchase of the brush, there are a few other things to note so you can get the maximum desired results from using the facial brush.

1. Before you use the facial brush, endeavor to wash your face with acne treatments before using the brush for the first time. This will reduce irritation.

2. Use the brush once or twice weekly and slowly build up the frequency of using it.

3. You can use the facial brush everyday if you have normal skin. If you have sensitive skin, once or twice a week should be maintained even after the initial stages.

4. After each cleansing, make sure you apply topical medications to your face.

  Taking Care Of Your Facial Cleansing Brush

There are precautions that have to do with the care for the facial brush. They are listed below:

1. The facial brush should be cleaned with soap and water or alcohol to prevent acne build-up in the brush.

2. After cleaning the brush, place it in a microwave for a few seconds to kill bacteria and other germs.

3. Do not use the brush on active acne, pimple and open wounds. If care is not taken, this will lead to the spread of infections.

4. The facial brush should never be used in combination with a chemical exfoliating agent.

5. The best time to use the facial brush is at nighttime. Then, all of the sebum, pollutions and dirt from the day will be washed off together.

6. Use the facial brush with a gentle facial cleanser i.e. those with a balanced PH and those that are fragrance free.

7. Avoid sharing your facial brush with friends and family. One brush is meant for your use alone and this is why it is advisable that you carry it along with you wherever you go.

User experiences with facial brushes are varying but largely, they yield desired results. When you start using any facial brush, your skin might flare within the first 2 weeks. This is because the dead skin cells will become opened up and because there will be fewer dead skin cells to exfoliate; your skin will flare up.

What you need to do, is to reduce its usage because continued usage of the facial brush can lead to broken capillaries, irritation, redness, sensitivity and excessive dryness and these signs are not good at all. The only way to control them is to desist from using the facial brush at that time. A visit to your dermatologist will confirm what went wrong and necessary ways to address it is.

Light Therapy Acne Mask

Light Therapy Acne Mask

Before looking at what light therapy acne mask is, let’s first consider what light therapy is in essence. Light therapy is a way of treating skin conditions and symptom of seasonal affective disorder (SAD) through exposure to artificial light. It uses controlled artificial ultraviolet light to reduce the progress of some skin conditions such as vitiligo, psoriasis, and eczema. Light therapy is a useful acne technology that is clinically approved and has been used by dermatologist for more than a decade.

The light therapy acne mask is a new revolution in the treatment of skin acne; the face mask makes use of clinically proven technology to clear acne and skin break out within a short time. Light therapy can be used to treat 2 important types of skin acne, and that is bacteria and inflammation. The blue light has been clinically proven to stop skin breakout while the red light helps in interrupting the breakout cycle and reducing inflammation.

  Types of Acne Light Therapy

There are 3 types of light therapy for the treatment of skin acne, and they include:

• The Broad-band UVB – This uses the full spectrum of the Ultraviolet B.

• The Narrow-band UVB – makes use of a small part of the UVB radiation. Most dermatologists usually recommend the narrowband UVB because it has fewer side effects and is more intensive in treatment.

• In the treatment of skin conditions, the Psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA) is used, which involves the use of light therapy and the Psoralen chemical to treat skin acne. This compound causes the skin to become very sensitive to the light.

  How Does Light Therapy Acne Mask Works?

To use the light therapy acne mask, all you need to do is to wear the mask for 10 minutes a day while you work, do yoga, or chat on the phone; it is an excellent alternative than having a chemical session or a $500 light therapy treatment session with your dermatologist.

It works by allowing the energy from the red and blue light to penetrate the skin and destroy acne-causing bacteria’s and also reduce aging and skin breakout. Light therapy is very active in the treatment of skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and vitiligo because it reduces the overproduction of skin cell that builds up to form the hard skin, it also stops the skin from becoming inflamed.

  Benefits Of Light Therapy Acne Mask

Light therapy acne mask produces results as early as 7 days from the first day of its use and improves over time. After 3 months, only a few users still notices breakout on their skin. Many people who use light therapy in the treatment of skin acne have testified to the disappearance and reduction in the appearance, size, and redness of breakouts. Also, the light therapy acne mask is a cheap and better alternative to the light therapy session that takes place in a dermatologist office and cost hundreds of dollars for a single treatment.

Finally, with the light therapy acne mask, treatment of acne and skin breakout is now very easy and can be done in the comfort of the home. Before wearing the mask, it’s recommended that you wash your face using a gentle skin cleanser and after wearing the mask, use an oil-free moisturizer and any topical acne treatment on your skin.

How To Use Blackhead and Comedone Acne Extractor?

Blackhead And Comedone Acne Extractor

Acne and blackheads are undesirable elements that disfigure the skin. Many abounding methods have proved successful in kicking them out. One of the methods is the acne tool or blackhead and comedone acne extractor, and it is the subject matter of this article.

The face is a delicate part of the body and is cherished by all because it houses the eyes and other sensitive organs of the body. Beyond that, in relation with others around you, the face can present your feelings, emotions and can attract and endear others to you. As much as the face forms a major make up of our image, it is often exposed to dust and several other harsh elements. The face protects us from most of these things and they form as blackheads, acne etc.

Nobody likes blackheads and acne on their faces and I am certain that you are very eager to know how blackhead extractor works and how it will benefit you. We will get to that, but it is important that we understand blackheads and acne in order to appreciate the extent to which this extractors can stop the formation of blackheads and acne on our faces.

  What Are Blackheads And Acne?

Blackheads are tiny, dark bumps inflaming the pores of a person’s face and sometimes the neck of an individual. They consist of oxidizing melanin, and they appear during those times when an individual’s hormones produce sebum underneath the skin pores.

One characteristic of blackhead that distinguishes it from acne and other types of comedone related infection is that the infection causes an opening in the skin pore, it is this opening that traps air and then makes the sebum underneath the skin to turn black.

Medically, blackheads are a milder stage of acne.

Acne, on the other hand, is an advanced stage of blackheads. It is also known as pimples. It is simply excess oils clogged under the skin.

  How To Treat Blackheads And Acne With An Extractor?

Acne extractor is a very effective tool used for removing blackheads and acne and it achieves better results than popping them with your hands. Also, it is one of the very fast and simple methods available to anybody. This tool looks like a small rod having sharp hooks attached to both ends. It is with these hooks that an individual would pull out the comedone.

It is important now to say that before anybody uses an acne extractor, he is expected to have made some preparations. These preparations are:

  1. Regular Skin And Facial Treatment Procedure

Most people don’t take care of their faces, they don’t wash their faces, and they don’t give it the necessary treatment needed. As individuals, it is our face that makes people appreciate our beauty and attracted to us. So, it is expected that before you use an extractor, you must ensure that you have a regular facial cleaning and treatment. This treatment wouldn’t require much of your time. It only requires that you wash your face and cleanse them with a very good facial cleanser. You are to dab your face with wet towels and not use sponge that will scrub the part where the comedone is on your face.

  2. Get Your Acne Extractor

This merely entails that the individual involved should purchase the extractor he deems appropriate, that is, the size must be an appropriate size. However, you must be careful not to select an extractor that is not meant for the type of infection you have, meaning you cannot use a whitehead extractor for a blackhead.

  3. Sterilize Your Extractor

You do not want to pick up another infection from your extractor, so it is essential that you sterilize it before you use it. There are several ways you can sterilize your extractor, but the one that is most recommended is that you soak it inside alcohol.

  4. Get Your Towel, Water, And Disinfectant In Place

These stuffs are essential because when you are done with the extracting, you will need to clean your face and the extractor likewise. Also, you will need to protect the pores of your face that have been opened as a result of the extraction.

  How To Use The Blackheads And Acne Extractors

Firstly, you must have sterilized the extractor and must have cleaned your hand. Afterwards, you will bring the sterilized extractor close to the part where the acne or blackhead sits on your face. Ensure that it is well-positioned. For most people who find it difficult to see the positioning of the extractor on their face, they can make use of a mirror or a magnifying glass, whichever comes handy at that time.

After positioning the extractor adequately on the part of the face where the acne or blackhead sits, then apply a bit of pressure at the base of the extractor. You will continue to apply this pressure, until you become very sure that you have extracted all the comedones.

The next step is to remove the extractor from that part where you used it, disinfect or sterilize it before you can use it on any other spot on your face. So for every blackhead or acne that you remove, you must remember to clean and sterilize your extractor.

When you are satisfied that you have successfully removed all the blackheads and acne on your face, then you can clean the extractor for the last time and keep it in a safe place.

After this, you must not forget that you should protect the open pores on your face from another infection. Leaving them open afterwards is an open invitation to further infection, which may turn out worse.

Although the use of extractors is quite modern, it has witnessed a great level of success and is bound to be the next best thing in the tackling of Blackheads and acne.

A lot of people have used extractors to remove acne and blackheads on their faces, and these people can vouch for its effectiveness.

Spot Treatment For Acne & Pimples *GUARANTEED TO WORK!

Acne Sport Treatment

Spot treatments are over-the-counter acne products that help to heal those pesky pimples. Unlike other types of acne treatments, they are meant to be used only on existing blemishes. Some spot treatments are left on overnight; others dry clear so you can wear them out during the day. You can even find tinted spot treatments that help camouflage breakouts. Whichever product you choose, make sure to read and follow the usage directions.

Spot treatments are most helpful for people who only succumb to the occasional zit here and there (if that describes you, you’re so lucky). For those of us who battle with more frequent breakouts, spot treatments aren’t going to be quite as beneficial. Since spot treatments aren’t applied over the entire face, they won’t clear up a case of acne. For that, you’d need a different type of treatment.

If your acne is mild, an over-the-counter acne product might be enough. But for severe acne, you need to get yourself a prescription medication, either topical or oral. These medications, like BenzaClin, Differin, or Isotretinoin help stop breakouts before they start. You can still use spot treatments to help individual pimples heal more quickly, even while using these acne medications, so long as your dermatologist gives you the go ahead.

Recipe #1: Aspirin & Water

Step 1: Take one aspirin and using the back of a table spoon, crush it down into a powder. This isn’t supposed to be back-breaking labor either. As you can see from the video above, it only took 10-20 seconds to crush the aspirin.

Step 2: Mix in about 2 tablespoons of water with the crushed aspirin until you have a consistent looking paste. Again you can check out the video for an example of what it should look like.

Step 3: Apply the paste as a spot treatment to the areas most effected by acne. Leave on for about 10 minutes before washing off with water.

This is the perfect spot treatment for those morning where you wake up with one of those annoying zits that takes over your entire face!

  Recipe #2: Baking Soda & Lemon Juice

Step 1: Take your tablespoon of baking soda and mix it in a bowl with 2-3 drops of lemon juice. Stir using a spoon and you should start to notice it froth a little before calming down into a paste.

Step 2: Apply directly to the problem areas and rub in a circular motion for about a minute. Leave on for about 20 minutes or better yet overnight for maximum results.

  Recipe #3: Coconut Oil & Turmeric

Step 1: In a bowl, mix 1/2 tsp of turmeric with 1/2 tsp of coconut oil. Just stir until the mixture looks nice and even.

Step 2: Using your ‘clean’ fingers, apply the treatment directly to your problem areas about 20 minutes before going to bed. Rub in gently in a circular motion.

Step 3: After waking up in the morning, rinse off your face with warm water.

FREE* Essential Oils For Acne & Scars

Essential Oils For Acne

If you’ve got stubborn acne, or you’re looking for an alternative to drugstore and over-the-counter acne treatments, you might consider essential oils. They are plant chemicals extracted with steam from stems, roots, leaves, seeds, or flowers.

Plant extracts have a long history in traditional and folk healing, and are regularly studied in modern medicine for their fabled effects, including how they kill bacteria, one of the primary causes of acne. Learn more…

There are hundreds of essential oils with suitable qualities that can be used for acne management, but here’s a list of the best essential oils for acne, pimples, acne scarring and pimple marks. This list is pretty extensive and makes for a really long article, so let’s dive right into it!

(Note: Please consult your doctor/healthcare practitioner before using essential oils. AVOID essential oils particularly if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Avoid using essential oils on new born babies. Here is the list of best essential oils for acne management and treatment.) Read the original article here…

  List Of Best Essential Oils For Acne, Pimples & Scarring

1. Tea Tree Essential Oil Tea tree is the number one essential oil antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic, antiviral and disinfectant properties and if you had to choose just one essential oil for acne, tea tree should be your top pick.

2. Lavender Essential Oil Lavender essential oil is helpful against acne because of its analgesic, antibacterial and antiseptic properties among others. Many people swear by it for healing their acne, while others say it didn’t help at all – this is partly due to lavender being drying for the skin. Dry skin can aggravate acne in some individuals so it pays to test it out on a small portion of your skin before taking it up as a daily routine. For those with oily skin, lavender oil can work wonders in controlling acne breakouts.

3. Basil Essential Oil Though not as popular, basil is one of the best essential oils for acne due to its strong antibacterial properties, which is why it is a popular remedy for respiratory illnesses like bronchitis, coughs, colds and flu. Basil is potent against acne and skin conditions too. Even fresh basil leaves can be used to make anti-acne face masks.

4. Geranium Essential Oil Despite its strong flowery scent, geranium essential oil is actually extracted from the leaves of the geranium plant and it has a green color. It is rich in antioxidants and is recommended for aging skin, but is rich in antibacterial compounds that make it effective against acne.

5. Clary Sage Essential Oil Clary Sage has been used for beauty and cosmetic purposes since historical times, and is a known anti-depressant. Its antiseptic, bactericidal and astringent properties make it a powerful remedy for fighting acne.

6. Chamomile Essential Oil Chamomile is effective against many types of skin issues and is valuable in calming acne and breakouts. It lightens dark spots and acne scars, too.

7. Oregano Essential Oil Oregano is said to have the highest percentage of phenols out of all aromatic plants. Phenols are organic compounds characterized for their strong disinfectant properties. Be careful when using oregano oil – always go by the rule, “less is more” as it is known to cause skin irritations in large amounts.

  DIY Essential Oils For Acne Right At Your Home For FREE

When should you apply essential oils? When you want to say goodbye to acne!

This essential oils acne blend is gentle, effective, and all natural.

It’s made in a base of aloe vera gel (Aloe barbadensis), and includes four essential oils that are known to reduce microbes and support skin (even sensitive skin). It can be such a relief to have an essential oil acne blend, because a lot of skin irritation (and pimples!) can come about as a reaction to harsh chemicals in other products.

I’m using a 2 oz (60 ml) PET plastic bottle with a flip-top for this blend*, and filling it almost all the way with pure aloe vera gel (0:51), leaving a little room for the essential oils. (You don’t have to measure out exactly 2 oz/60 ml! Just fill your bottle most of the way up.)

Then add: * 10 drops Patchouli (Pogostemom cablin) (1:09) * 10 drops Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) (2:24) * 10 drops Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) (2:47) * 6 drops Lemon (Citrus limon) (3:14)

You’ll have to shake your essential oil acne blend gently before each use to be sure the essential oils are distributed through the aloe. Then just get a small dab on your fingertip and use it as a spot treatment.

I recommend making this blend fresh every few weeks.

*I usually prefer to use glass with essential oils, but PET plastic is known as a non-reactive plastic that doesn’t leach. In cases when glass isn’t ideal, PET plastic is a good choice.

100% Exposed Skin Care Overview: Reviews, Prices, Coupons, Good/Bad

Exposed Skin Care Overview

Hi, my name is John. I had what my doctor described as moderate severe acne that was hereditary. My doctor suggested trying medicine to combat my acne. He put me on a course of an antibiotic called Minocin SA. The long list of side effects he told me about was scary to say to least. Even though I was desperate to beat my acne, I knew I was getting into some heavy duty medication. Almost inevitably, the antibiotics didn’t work. The next step up was Roaccutane. Anyone who has suffered from acne knows that Roaccutane has an evil reputation, with good reason. It can harm your liver, dries out your skin, causes rashes and even induces suicidal thoughts.

Check out the posts below…

  My 30 Day Exposed Skin Care Reviews (Good/Bad)

This page is my personal review of Exposed Skin Care for 30 days usage. I hope it benefits you as much as I did.

Anyone who has suffered from acne knows how crippling it can be. It invades every aspect of your life. It’s there, ever present, crushing your confidence, holding back your social life, eating away at your self-esteem. There are a lot of times you feel you become the skin disorder, that it is your defining characteristic. You’re the spotty guy or girl. That’s how people remember you.

In a pretty cruel joke by the universe, it affects your face most severely. The one part of your body that is on show every day, the one part of your body that everyone you meet is guaranteed to look at. In an even crueller twist of fate, it is next to impossible to get rid of for many people. Learn more…

  Exposed Skincare Basic Kit (*New Price & Coupons*)

The first kit I tried from Exposed Skincare was their Exposed Basic 5-Piece Kit. I had read some fantastic reviews of Exposed’s products and decided to try their basic kit as an introduction to the system.

I have found from experience that there is no point in trying just one product from a range to see if it would help my acne. Everyone’s skin needs a couple of different things to look after it properly, and this is even more important when you are battling acne. It needs at a minimum a cleanser, a product to renew the skin, exfoliation and finally something to protect the skin. The Exposed Skincare Basic Kit has all of these necessities covered in a well thought out range. The kit itself consists of these: Learn more…

  Exposed Skincare Expanded Kit (*New Price & Coupons*)

The Exposed Skincare range is without a doubt one of the best systems I have tried. I have a pretty severe case of acne since high school and it hasn’t improved at all in the last few years. Nearly every product I have tried has made my skin worse rather than better. The problem is I have to use something so I have endured years of breakouts, red blotchy skin, inflammation, dryness and tightness. It is very frustrating to try so hard to have good grooming and appearance, only for it to make you look even worse.

I was given the Exposed Skincare Facial Cleanser as a gift and I loved how it made my skin feel after using it. It wasn’t dry and tight for a start. It felt smooth and soft, like it was actually moisturised and really healthy. I decided to order the Exposed Expanded 6-Piece Kit to replace all my existing products. I was considering the Exposed Basic Kit as well since I had heard such great things about it. However, I have a fairly bad problem with dry skin so I thought I really needed something like the Moisture Complex as well. Learn more…

  Exposed Skincare Ultimate Kit (*New Price & Coupons*)

I initially started out using individual Exposed Skincare products along with some generic, over the counter products in an effort to deal my acne. I am naturally very skeptical about any claims skincare products make after years of being let down. Every, and I mean every, product I had used before being introduced to Exposed Skincare was useless in clearing my acne. Absolutely nothing improved, not even a little bit. There was usually some kind of reaction to the product, so I had to deal with flaky, dry skin, redness or really greasy skin as well as the usual pimples and blackheads.

I think the first product I tried from Exposed Skincare was their Facial Cleanser. It was unbelievably gentle on my skin. I actually felt clean and refreshed after using instead of dry and tight. For that alone I would have kept using it but I also noticed an improvement in my acne. Gradually, I started using more products from the range until I was ordering the Basic Kit or Expanded Kit on a regular basis. Each new product I tried, from the Derm-X Cloth to the Clarifying Mask, worked amazingly well. Learn more…

• Citric acid helps reduce the look of aging and is a powerful cleanser that is used in many beauty products such as face washes is also great for getting rid of acne.

• Vitamin C is great for the skin and helps get rid of acne. Using foods that are high in vitamin C such as tomatoes, and citric acid such as lemons help get rid of existing acne and ward of coming acne.

• Use the pulp of a lemon with a chopped tomato and blend together until it resembles a liquid salsa. Rub on the face and areas that have acne and let the nutrients soak into the skin for 5 to 10 minutes, afterward clean away with water.

• To keep the skin well hydrated, a mask with a base of honey can help keep the skin moistened. Honey also contains lysozyme, which is an anti-bacterial agent. Put a pureed fruit full of vitamin C such as apples into the honey and mix until you have a fine mask. Keep the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.

  Best Acne Treatment for Dry Skin

To keep skin well hydrated and prevent further cracking, using moisturizer often and especially after hot showers will help keep skin healthy. Having the right kind of moisturizer is especially important with dry skin. Make sure that it is labeled for dry skin and also contain important ingredients such as mineral oil, linoleic acid and glycerin.

Face wash or acne cream is important for everyone regardless of their skin type. The best option for dry skin is to use a cream since typical gels can be harsh on dry skin. But having a face wash that is specialized for dry skin will not further your dry skin and can actually help moisten it. A good face wash will should have ingredients like olive oil, aloe vera, glycerin, lactic acids and alpha hydroxyl acids.

Most importantly in your acne treatment for dry skin is that you keep your skin moistened and clean. Keeping bacteria from entering your skin will help keep acne away and you will have healthier and acne free skin.

The PROPER Acne Treatment For Oily Skin

Having perfect flawless skin is ideal, but can be frustrating to achieve if you have acne and oily skin. Oily skin is prone to acne since the skin produces extra oil to lubricate hair and skin can clog pores and bacteria grows and turns into a pimple. Getting rid of acne can be difficult, but with proper acne treatment for oily skin things can look clearer quicker.

Having oily skin you must be careful about the everyday things you do which can cause acne. Wearing oil based makeup, shaving too often and with incorrect shave gel or cream, not properly cleaning the skin and touching the skin a lot with your hands can lead to more acne.

  Home Acne Treatment for Oily Skin

There are many products that help people with oily skin to treat acne, and there are also home remedies if you prefer a more natural approach.

• Getting your daily dose of sunlight not only gives you much needed Vitamin D, but it promotes healthy skin and can help dry out extra oil. Spending about 15 minutes a day in sunlight is all that is needed to dry out the extra oil, but spending more time can harm your skin if you are not protected.

• A powerful defoliant that helps to unclog pores is an aspirin mask. BHA, or Beta Hydroxyl Acid, which is found in aspirin helps to clear out acne faster. To make a mask you would need to crush aspirin pills and mix with water until a paste is formed. The paste would then be applied to the face for about 15 minutes and repeated weekly. This mask also helps reduce the appearance of acne scars.

• Using oatmeal is great for oily skin. Since oatmeal is dry and absorbs liquid, it helps to dry your face by absorbing the oil. Make a thick paste with a small amount of water and lots of oatmeal. The oatmeal should barely be moist. Apply the paste to your face and leave on for 10 to 20 minutes and washed off with cold water. This paste can be used as often as twice a day to once a week, but to get best results use it only once a day.

  Best Acne Treatment for Oily Skin

Having proper treatment for oily skin is essential to treat acne. Having a cleaner that moistens your face instead of drying up the extra oil can cause you to breakout even more. To make sure that you have the right kind of face wash use an oil based cleanser, not a cream. Oily skin needs good acne ointments that have powerful cleaning agents like benzoyl peroxide. Cleansers for oily skin should contain salicylic acid, such as Exposed Facial Cleanser which should be used continuously even when acne has cleared away.

Using astringent helps to dry out overly oily skin. Astringents that are alcohol based are extremely effective for extremely oily skin, but it can dry out skin quickly and should not be used every single day since irritation can occur. The best astringents have green tea, witch’s hazel and chamomile which are gentler on your skin than alcohol.

Everyone is different and requires a different acne treatment for oily skin. The best way to know if a treatment works for you is to use the same treatment for 3 months. It’s important to use the same treatment for 3 months since bacteria can build up for 3 months under the skin before turning into a pimple. If after 3 months the acne clears away you may have found the perfect treatment for your skin.
