Threats of Acne

IF THERE IS something both males and females can relate to, it is acne. It is quite rare to find both genders speak the same language—except when the topic involves pimples, blackheads, and other skin blemishes.

Of all skin concerns, acne seems to top the list. Young people look for the one magic potion, the elusive remedy that will eradicate the skin problem off the face of the earth once and for all.

While that zit on your nose always seems to be a step ahead of your skin regimen, don't lose hope. Self-diagnosis often leads to hasty product choices, and while this hit-or-miss strategy seems to work at times, there is nothing wrong with getting to the real cause of the problem and finally pulling it out right down to the root.

Usual suspects

Acne can be explained with one simple equation: pore (with oil + bacteria + dirt + dead skin cells) = acne.

What we don't realize is that, like most equations that explain the many complicated phenomena in life (like e=mc2), more permutated equations may be derived from the formula above.

This is why you can be cleansing, oil film-ing, and disinfecting your skin with no impressive results. If this is the case, you may want to take a closer look at your skin condition.

Sun exposure

Believe it or not, the amount of time you spend under the sun may be the culprit behind those nasty zits that just won't go away.

Many people believe that a good tan is a clever disguise for pimples and acne marks. So they allow themselves to bake without a conscience.

The real scoop, however, says that tans and burns cause the surface layers of skin to shed dead skin cells at a faster rate, sometimes leaving raw skin exposed.

The accelerated sloughing of skin merely increases the likelihood of clogged pores, and ultimately, more acne.

Don't let Mr. Sunshine ruin your complexion—be guarded every day.

Be aware that the bar has been raised, too. The requisite SPF 15 has gone up to a 30 for everyday protection, so be armed with the best armor there is.

Fortunately, for us, supercharged sunblock is readily available. I like the velvety texture of Shu Uemura XTR Protector.

It leaves a beautiful matte finish, and works well as a makeup base, too.

And with a whopping SPF 50, the Protector won't allow those rays to get anywhere near your skin.

Hormonal imbalance

Every month, I have to deal with what I call my PMP, which is just a cute-ified moniker for "post-menstrual pimple."

And it never fails. The day after the main event stops, a little (or monstrous, at times) red bump will appear somewhere on my face.

It's quite forgivable for the hormones to go berserk once a month, but there are a few women whose hormones just can't stop jumping around and damaging the skin.

But while common knowledge dictates that birth control pills may end this dilemma once and for all, studies have shown that some pills available in the market actually aggravate the problem. The poison? Testosterone. A number of brands raise androgenic activity and raise testosterone levels as a result.

Stick to preparations with progesterone and estrogen like Diane 35, or consult with a reputable dermatologist.

Stress

It's no secret. Stress can make things worse. And the stress shows on your face.

Stress worsens acne more than it causes it, sure, but it's not something you can simply ignore.

The technicality lies in, again, your hormones. When stress strikes, your body produces cortisol, which has been long known to trigger acne outbreaks.

So how do we deal with it? For one, take the tried-and-tested solution with healthy living. Take antioxidants like Vitamin C and Vitamin E, or upgrade with green tea capsules (like popular brand TeGreen, which is said to be 100 times more potent than Vitamin C).

A less popular antioxidant, Glutathione, is usually known as a whitening supplement, but can also help improve skin conditions.

A Guide to Rosacea Skin Care Products

Rosacea, a chronic condition affecting the blood vessels of an estimated 16 million Americans, may cause permanent damage to the skin if left untreated. Nearly half of all rosacea sufferers report that they have ocular rosacea in which the eyes are also affected by the condition.

This hereditary disorder, that can also affect other areas of the body besides the face, most commonly afflicts adults between the ages of 30 and 65. However, there have been cases reported of the condition affecting children as well. Women and people with fair or light colored skin seem to be the most prone to acquiring rosacea. Some famous rosacea sufferers include former president Bill Clinton and W.C. Fields.

There are basically four stages of rosacea, pre-rosacea, mild, moderate, and severe rosacea. The condition can progress over time from one stage to the next, beginning with the frequent dilation of the blood vessels in the face, eventually leading to structural damage and vascular hyper-responsiveness.

The disorder, which can be painful at times, may begin with subtle redness near the center of the face, with eruptions gradually appearing on the nose, forehead, chin, and cheekbones. Treatment with products designed specifically for rosacea are necessary to control the redness and inflammation.

When the tiny blood vessels on the face dilate, red blotchy areas known as papules appear on the skin. A papule is a solid elevated lesion which has three general classifications: minor, moderate, and severe. Minor papules appear to be the size of a pimple or measles lesion, and a moderate papule is roughly the size of a pencil eraser.

Severe papules can be as large as the size of a coin and also contain pustules, which are inflamed bumps on the skin that are filled with pus. The delicate skin on the face can thicken, swell, and be tender to the touch.

To successfully treat the disorder, the correct type of products must be used that contain gentle ingredients that won't exacerbate the condition.

When treating or caring for rosacea, carefully read all labels as skin care products should be rich with anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial ingredients for the best long-term results.

An extract from a wildflower known as the Willowherb (Epilobium angustifolium), which is native to Russia, northern Europe and parts of Canada, has both of these healing properties and is used in some rosacea skin care products. Used for centuries by native people to heal burns and skin inflammations, Willowherb reduces redness, soothes the skin, and has also recently been found to be a powerful anti-oxidant.

Vitamin K is another ingredient touted by many to be an essential element in treating rosacea due to its ability to help blood coagulate, or clot. In depth scientific studies have proven that vitamin K strengthens the body's blood vessels, including those small capillaries in the face.

Non-abrasive cleansers applied carefully to the skin with the fingertips, rather than a wash cloth, on a regular basis is one of the very best ways of controlling rosacea. The face should be washed using lukewarm water, never hot, and then blotted dry with a soft cotton towel.

People with rosacea should also avoid products with astringents, exfoliating agents, and any other ingredients that are too harsh for the most sensitive skin types. Men may also want to forgo using aftershave and certain shaving gels and creams that may irritate the skin.

If you must wear make-up, be sure to choose a product that is non-comedogenic as well as oil-free, and only apply light layers to your skin. Think of heavy make-up, such as oily foundations and concealers, as masks that trap oil and bacteria allowing them to clog the skin's pores. These types of products merely aggravate skin conditions such as rosacea and should be avoided if possible. Instead, try to find gentle rosacea skin care products, including cleansers, make-up and moisturizers, that are water-based.

A sunscreen of at least an SPF 8 should be worn every single day as the sun is often the most common cause of a flare-up. Other causes of irritation or flare-ups may be caused by products containing the following ingredients:

- menthol

- alcohol

- witch hazel

- peppermint

- eucalyptus and clove oils

Of course, individuals with rosacea should immediately stop using any product that burns, stings or irritates the skin regardless of its ingredients. What triggers or irritates rosacea in one person may not even affect another, so dermatologists often recommend that patients keep a diary detailing any activities, foods, medications, and skin care products that may trigger a flare-up.

Rosacea skin care products containing medications such as benzoyl peroxide, erythromycin, and azelaic acid have been shown to be useful in reducing flare-ups and the number of papules and pustules associated with the condition.
