acne acne ask me what is acne anyway now
there are a lot of different types of
acne acne meccanica acne fulminant
pyoderma facial acne conglobata Hosford
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
pat pat oh 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
logged or not your body doesn't just
stop creating more oil or skin so so
what happens is that instead of going
out all that oil builds up underneath
which pushes out
skin creating the bump or pimple that we
all read a spit goes into full bloom
when the bacteria notice pee Agnes jumps
onto the scene to fight this mob your
immune system rushes bacteria fighting
your white blood cells to go see 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
number one use an active same routine
twice a day every day for the years you
have AXI number two ideally your skin
routine should contain some combination
of benzoyl peroxide salicylic acid and
alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic
acid number three use a moisturizer all
acne treatments are drying to the skin
and you will have a reflux oiliness
unless you use a lightweight moisturizer
