Acne appears in all human. It is a matter
of whether more or less. We can't run away from it because all human
have sebaceous gland. These gland produces sebum, a kind of waxy
substance. Sebum is actually a discharge of oil which naturally used to
protect us from excessive perspiration and uncontrollable loss of body
heat.
It is by nature that we will somehow at a
certain age, our sebaceous gland will produce more of the sebum than
another time. The factors that determine the output include:
-
Age
-
Hormone change
-
Right diet
-
Hygiene
-
External factors such as dirt, heat,
exposure to the sun and others
-
Application of chemical such as cosmetics
-
Physical activities
-
Stress level
We cannot control acne from appearing but
we can minimize or reduce the acne effect. We shall look at ways to
reduce acne by the categories. The question now is How?
-
How acne treatment affected by age?
We can't control growth. Basically we
have to go through life as we aged and along the way, acne appears. In
normal circumstances, acne starts to develop from mid teens right up to
forties in some cases. Since during our prime years, our sebum is at
the optimum level, there is not much we can do to stop the production.
-
How acne treatment affected by hormone change?
Hormonal Acne usually are caused by hormones called
androgens. Excessive androgen production will result in enlargement of
sebaceous gland. This physical change may be small and unnoticed
visually but it is definitely going to produce more sebum in the end.

How to acne treatment by having right
diet?
Diet play one of the most important part in preventing
acne from developing. A vegetarian diet would normally have less acne
compare to a non vegetarian. This is because red meat and poultry are
farmed and their diet are controlled by the farmers. The farmers feed
their life stocks with growth hormone such as Bovine. These growth
hormone is indirectly consume by us. This is the reason why a
vegetarian has less acne problem than a non vegetarian.
The way we cook our food will determine how our acne problem persist.
If we take in too much fried or grilled, then we are actually taking
trans fatty acid. This TFA is bad for our capillaries. It is also bad
for our acne. There are research which prove that the amount of TFA has
a direct relation with the amount of sebum.
Too much sugar in our diet not only will link to diabetic. It has a
negative effect on our bacterial level. Acne is formed because of high
level of sugar in our blood stream.
How to acne treatment by proper hygiene?
With proper hygiene, we could actually reduce acne

of all acne evil when these natural oil moves up through the hair
follicle. Along the way, when it mixes with skin bacteria (Propionibacterium
Acne) together with dead follicular skin cells, some may get clogged in
within the hair follicle.
This is the part where acne starts to form when acne
bacteria breeds. When the it gets worst, inflammation occurs.
The only way to solve this kind of acne problem is to
cleanse with organic ph balance soap twice daily. Keeping the area
clean may help to eliminate unnecessary acne inflammation.
