Acne and acne remedies
About acne
More than four in five teenagers get some form of acne, needless to say it is quite common. It is less common later in life however can last well into your thirties. Approximately one in 20 women and one in 100 men aged 25 to 40 continue to be affected by acne, or develop it at that time (late-onset acne). Even newborns can get baby acne, although it is far less common.
Acne starts to develop when hair follicles in your skin become blocked with the natural oil produced by your skin (known as sebum) and dead skin cells. Each follicle is connected to a sebaceous gland that lies just underneath the surface of your skin. The sebaceous glands produce sebum to keep your skin soft and supple. Usually, sebum travels up the follicle and out through our pores on the surface of your skin. When you produce an excess of sebum, the hair folicle and dead cells will clog up and a spot will appear. This can either be a whitehead or a blackhead.
Sometimes the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, which normally lives on the surface of your skin, causes inflammation in the hair follicles. If the inflammation develops near the surface of your skin, red or yellow spots can form. Deeper inflamed lesions (nodules and cysts) can form if the infection is nearer the hair root. In very severe acne, cysts may join together to form even larger, deeper inflamed lesions (acne conglobata), but this is rare.
Causes of acne
Contrary to popular belief, acne isn't caused by poor diet or bad hygiene! At puberty men and women produce more of the male hormone testosterone. This increases the production of sebum in your skin, causing it to become greasy and encouraging spots to form. It's thought that this is one of the main reasons most teenagers develop acne during puberty.
If you're a woman, hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle and pregnancy may trigger acne.
Acne can be hereditary. For example, if both your parents had acne you have an increased chance of having it too.
Other rarer causes of acne may include:
- conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome and Cushing's syndrome
- some progesterone-based contraceptives
- cosmetic products, particularly some types of greasy moisturisers
- medicines such as steroid creams and ointments used for eczema, and some anti-epileptics
Get rid of acne
Keeping you skin clean will help ged rid of acne, by avoiding spots from forming. Gently wash spot-prone areas with our Blemishless Gel, morning and evening as part of your routine. Do not scrub too hard as skin needs some oil to maintain its natural condition. Step two of the OMIC range will help kill the bacteria responsible for acne. Step three, the lotion, will help in keeping acne at bay.
There are many over the counter products that contains benzoyl peroxide. However benzoyl peroxide may cause your skin to become irritated (slightly reddened). OMIC Blemishless KIt has no benzoyl peroxide, and instead uses an active ingredient called Salicylic Acid.
Salicylic acid will help get rid of acne, as it acts as an anti inflammatory, and therefore reduces the breakout redness. Salicylic acid (from the latin 'salix' , willow tree, from the bark of which the substance used to be obtained) is a type of phenolic acid and a beta hydroxy acid. In addition to being a compound that is chemically similar to but not identical to the active component of aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid), it is probably best known for its use in anti-acne treatments.
