Your Guide to Get Rid of Acne Fast

Many people think that acne is caused by dirt or eating foods such as ice-cream or chocolate, however acne is actually caused by overactive sebaceous glands. These are glands in the body that produces sebum.

The main purpose of the sebum is to make the skin and hair waterproof and to protect them from drying out. An excess of sebum, however, can make the skin or hair oily and thus traps bacteria and clog the pores. The body's defense system will send out an army of white blood cells the to combat the bacteria. The overall process takes a few days and the final result is an acne pimple.

There are many factors that can contribute to an outbreak of acne, factors such as: Allergies, heredity, stress, weather, menstruation and even over washing can cause acne. However there are several ways t go about and treat acne. For people who have mild to moderate acne, it is recommended to wash your face daily after any form of exercise. Note that you should be very gentle and use a soft cloth to dry off the water.

You can also try to use a glycerin based soaps or sorbital face washes to wash your face twice per day with warm water. This will help to remove all the oil on the skin without over-drying or irritating it.
For moderate to sever acne, it is advisable to consult with a dermatologist. A dermatologist can diagnose the problem and has many treatment options for acne to choose from. Some treatments include used prescribed topical medications for the treatment of your acne, and even oral antibiotics, which help reduce acne outbreaks. Not everyone will receive the same kind of acne treatments, and your dermatologist can tailor the treatments to your specific needs.
