When it comes to acne medication, a number of medications are available in the market. However, almost none of the medicines can actual cure acne. In almost all cases, doctors will recommend patients to try a number of different products. This is because the doctor needs to find a combination of treatments that will actual help to cure patients’ acne problems.

Each individual will experience different effect from similar acne treatments. Which makes treating acne can be quit difficult. It will be try and error treatments on various medications before the right one in found that can actually cure the acne. It can be quit frustrated to some patients who want quick solution to their acne problems. And thus, it is advisable to seek professional medical opinion from experienced doctors and dermatologists.

In dealing with acne, there are a number of don’ts that you need to know. Never scrub your skin which is affected by acne. Doing so will cause irritation and inflammation making the skin prone to acne breakouts. So do not try to treat the acne yourself but get an experienced doctor or a dermatologist’s treatments.

Usually a doctor will recommend a topical cream. But the cream does not cure the acne but rather helps to reduce the symptoms. The treatment is aimed to unplug pores, kill the bacteria, reduce sebum production and to ease hormones that stimulate production of sebum. In cases whereby topical cream is not effective, a doctor will recommend oral antibiotic that combines with cream. Topical cream must be taken in small doses. Studies have shown that prolonged use or over dosage can cause premature aging on human skin.

In short, always get advice from an experienced doctor or dermatologist. Remember acne solution a long curing process. In fact, doctors will advise to continue with the recommended treatment for at least four to six weeks for a patient to see the affect. It is normal to try several treatments before a patient can successfully cured his or her acne problems.

The fact that the power of vitamins for treating acne is not more well known is very sad to me. Because I know that many people are needlessly suffering from embarrassing acne when they could be using vitamins for their acne and resolving their problems.

Acne products are a huge business and by and large it’s a business of topical treatments such as pads and creams which are meant to clean the skin. Unfortunately acne is not caused by having dirty skin. These products typically do little more than irritate the skin further. I’ve seen little to no evidence of their effectiveness either personally or from other people. So why then are these products such a huge business if they don’t work? Well perhaps that’s precisely why they are such a huge business. People who suffer from acne are desperate to fix their problem. They will continue buying products even if they don’t see any results because they want to clear their skin so badly. A customer that continually needs the product because they are not having their problem solved will be a continuous customer.

Personally I suffered from acne for 7 long years. During that time I purchased every topical acne treatment available. Every cleansing pad. Every topical cream. Every acne gel. I kept purchasing these products over and over again even though I saw no results. I kept thinking maybe I just hadn’t found the right one yet or maybe I was using them incorrectly. Like other people who suffer from acne I was desperate and I didn’t really know of any other possibility. My acne wasn’t severe enough to get any sort of prescription strength acne drug. I never had more than 3 or 4 pimples at a time. But let me tell you 3 or 4 pimples is plenty enough to make you quite embarrassed and self conscious.

Finally while desperately searching the internet for some way to cure my acne I came across information about B5 vitamins. At first I was extremely cynical because I had never heard of using vitamins for acne before. But I read carefully over the documentation that showed how B5 vitamins treated acne and I decided to give it a shot since none of the topical treatments had ever worked for me. To make a long story short, it worked. It worked quickly at that. Within weeks my acne was completely cleared and I saw no new acne forming. Not only that but I found that it gave me more energy and I felt more alert as well.

I then did more research on acne because I was interested in why more people don’t know about the possibility of using vitamins to treat acne. I had heard about Accutane the prescription acne medication that is used to treat severe acne cases before but I had never heard that it is actually a derivative of Vitamin A. I think this information is purposefully kept out of the public eye so that people don’t realize that indeed vitamins can be extremely powerful in treating acne. Accutane is universally regarded as the strongest treatment for acne and it is indeed based on vitamins! It is also an internally taken medication just like B5 vitamin treatment. The difference is that Accutane requires a prescription and has many negative side effects.

It’s very frustrating to me to continue to see all of the misinformation out there about acne treatments. Slowly I feel more and more people are waking up to the sham that big business acne companies are running. I hope that this article helps some people see the truth about acne and causes them to investigate this issue further. You cannot trust big business. They do not have your health as a concern. They want to take your money and that’s that. For years cigarette companies ran ads about how good smoking is for you and how it’s recommended by doctors. Do you really think that the big name companies that sell the useless acne products of today care that their products don’t work? No, they only care about taking your money.

I expect the readers of this article to be cynical about the use of B5 vitamins to cure acne. I expect them to ask questions about why aren’t big business companies getting behind B5 vitamins if they work so well? Well I believe there are two major reasons. One being that since B5 vitamins are not patentable there is not a huge amount of money that can be charged for these products. Two, they work too well. I personally used B5 vitamins for about 6 months in total. I haven’t used them in the 3 or 4 years since then and guess what? I’ve never had an acne problem again. That’s great for me! Not so great for the company that sells the product. Think about it. This is how capitalism works or doesn’t work depending on your point of view.

Personally as a sufferer of acne I don’t care about big business acne companies, I just want to cure my acne. I think that other acne sufferers out there will feel the same way. If you are tired of wasting your time and money on worthless topical acne products then you should truly give B5 vitamins a fair shot. They can’t possibly do any less for you than topical acne treatments.

A glowing and healthy skin is an asset. Skin is not all about beauty but also health. So, skin care treatment should be treated with all seriousness. If you develop a skin related dilemma, you need an appropriate skin care treatment. Skin care treatment, for any skin disorder, starts with actions that are aimed at prevention of the disorder (what we can also call as proactive or preventive skin care treatment). Building and following basic skin care procedures is what one could classify as preventive/proactive skin care treatment. Skin disorders can occur even if you have followed this preventive skin care treatment. Preventive skin care treatment just reduces the probability of occurrence. Let’s check the skin care treatment for some of the common skin conditions.

Acne is one of the most common problems. Again, the first type of skin care treatment is to control acne and prevent it from getting worse. So avoid tight clothes; they are known to cause body acne by trapping sweat. Do not touch the blemishes over and over again (rather don’t touch them at all), you might end up aggravating the condition. Also, do not try to scrub too hard or squeeze them. Use of mild cleansers is a recommended skin care treatment for acne. Obtain an over-the-counter skin care treatment for faster treatment of acne.

Skin care treatment of dry skin is generally easy. Moisturisers, applied in the right way and in the right quantity, are the best form of skin care treatment for dry skin. For best results, apply moisturiser while your skin is still damp. Also, do not apply too much or too little moisturiser. In exceptional cases, where you don’t notice any improvements in 3-4 weeks, you might have to visit your dermatologist for skin care treatment of your dry skin.

Brown spots, which appear on sun-exposed areas of skin i.e. face and hands, are caused by over-exposure to UV radiations. As a skin care treatment for brown spots, use a sunscreen lotion which has a high SPF (sun protection factor), say 15. This should be used irrespective of weather – sunny/cloudy. Another form of skin care treatment is covering up the exposed areas with clothing (caps, full sleeved shirts/t-shirts, and umbrella).

Also, if the general skin care treatment or the over-the-counter medication is not working for you, you should immediately consult your dermatologist for professional skin care treatment. You should also inform the doctor about the skin care treatment that you have undertaken till that time. So take the details of the till-date skin care treatment (and products) along with you. Based on the skin condition and the details of your till-date skin care treatment, the dermatologist will prescribe a skin care treatment e.g. oral antibiotics, chemical peels, retinoid etc and you will be on your way to recovery.

“Packaging is as important as the gift itself” – it’s something that most of the gift manufacturing companies follow very closely. The same holds good for you too. Your outer-self i.e. your skin is as important as your inner-self. A lot of people do realise the importance of skin care. Well, this is one reason why there are so many skin care products in the market and most of the skin care products seem to do pretty well. We generally tend to associate skin care to just good looks. However, there is more to it than just that. There are multiple benefits associated with a healthy and glowing skin.

Firstly, it has a good effect on you yourself. It makes you feel fresh and energetic. You are able to do more work and are quicker with everything you do. More importantly, the freshness adds to your enjoyment and makes your day. So a healthy skin too plays its part in building confidence. Yes, you can take most of the credit for having achieved that (however, do leave a little for the skin care products too).

Moreover, this flow of positive energy is experience by people around you too and you observe that even they are friendlier with you. You get more respect from others. They are more responsive to your queries. They themselves experience the freshness that you are exuding. They love working with you and for you. Yes, that’s how it works. Some people might even go ahead and ask you about the skin care products you use (you might or might not reveal those secret skin care products to them). Thus, a healthy skin can be instrumental in creating a pleasant and friendly environment around you. On the other hand, carelessness or negligence on this front can make you look unattractive and dull. You will not only look dull but also feel dull. Your work efficiency is reduced. Even the people you meet might not be as friendly. In fact, it might lead to the aging process getting started much earlier.

Thus the importance of skin care cannot be ignored. However, skin care is not that difficult at all. There are a lot of skin care products available and you can choose the ones that suit you the best. There are various ways in which skin care products are classified and the knowledge about these classifications will help you understand them better and make a selection.

* The first categorisation is based on the skin type – so you have skin care products for oily skin, skin care product for dry skin, skin care products for sensitive skin etc.

* Another way is to categorise skin care products based on their use e.g. you have moisturisers, cleansers, skin care products for exfoliation, toners etc.

* Then you have skin care products for treatment of various skin dilemmas i.e. skin care products for acne, skin care products for stretch marks, skin care products for anti-ageing etc.

* Another classification is based on the ingredients e.g. herbal skin care products, synthetic skin care products, cosmetic skin care products etc.

However, skin care products are not the only way of skin care. You also need to build some basic skin care procedures in your day to day life (as we discuss in the other article on personal skin care).

Day 86

I have this little (big) cluster of zits right above my lip and I have been self conscious about it all day. It feels like an aberration of my soul, yet if people noticed it (as they must) they sure were gracious about it. To my chagrin, it did not keep people from coming up to me and engaging in conversation at work.
