How to prevent acne for Women – What You Use Everyday May cause acne

Although it is not easy to pin point a single cause for acne, there is a possibility that cosmetic may be a cause for acne in some young women. This is probably because the young skin may not be used to being covered with make up yet. This may in turn result in clogging and thus lead to acne breakouts.

Perhaps, women will have this question, "Is it possible to wear make up and prevent acne at the same time?" Fortunately, the answer is yes. First, it is always a good idea for young women to learn the basics of caring for their skin as well as how to choose cosmetics and apply make up.

Here's what should be done everyday to take care of the skin:

It is usually recommended to wash the face twice per day with a gentle cleanser and warm water. Take care not to scrape the skin, especially if acne especially if acne is present. This may cause further damage.

Also, do not be mistaken that the more often you wash your face, the better. Unless you have a specific reason or has been told by a medical professional to do so, it is usually good enough to wash your face just twice per day.

This is especially true if you are having acne on your skin. Over washing can result in more irritation instead.

As mentioned above, although it is hard to pin point what caused acne, one thing for sure is that acne is not a result of "a dirty face". Even the person who care most about hygiene have a chance of getting acne. However, proper cleansing is still important as a part of good skin care.

Here's is what you should know regarding make up.

Of course, the best thing that can be done is to avoid make up altogether. However, most women will not buy this idea. Therefore, it is important to know what make up to choose. When choosing make up, it is best to pick those that are water based and oil free. Moisturizers are fine and should be water based.

If you are choosing products that is to be used on the face, it is best to look for the label, "non comedogenic", which means they will not result in blackheads or whiteheads. Another label to look out for is "non acnegenic". Although it may be more costly, they are definitely worth the price, since it will help to minimize break outs.

While cosmetic may not cause acne directly, it can certainly worsen the situation. Therefore, always take great care when choosing cosmetics. Also, do not ever wear make up overnight. Always take a few minutes and wash it away before going to bed.

A Definitive Therapy for Ingrown Hairs or Razor Bumps

Ingrown hairs (also called razor bumps) are unsightly and painful. They result when the shaved hair gets trapped inside the follicle or grows back into the skin. It can cause scarring, redness and swelling (its medical term is Pseudofolliculitis Barbae or PFB).

We have developed this comprehensive approach that will solve the most stubborn conditions or occasional ingrown hairs. You will need to follow all the steps in this regimen for several weeks.

1. Treat with active ingredients

• There are several products that claim to help treat ingrown hairs, but the reality is that Salicylic acid is the one active substance that can visibly improve razor bumps. It is a dermatological-grade ingredient that exfoliates, moisturizes, clears pores and can help prevent infection. Use a post-shave product with salicylic acid so it remains on your skin the whole day (see below).

• Use only a non-acnegenic shaving cream specially formulated for sensitive skin, with lots of lubricating agents (foam-based shaving creams can dry and irritate your skin).

• Do not use any product that has alcohol, it will seriously worsen ingrown hairs by drying the skin and closing the pores.

2. Improve your skin's surface

• Exfoliating (removing the upper layers of dead skin) is indispensable to manage ingrown hairs. Daily use of a gentle face scrub with glycolic and salicylic acid is particularly effective.

• Use a soft-bristle face brush and liquid cleanser in a circular motion on your beard to dislodge the tips of ingrown hairs, eliminate dead skin cells and clear follicles to allow hairs to surface unimpeded.

3. Adjust your shaving technique

• We hate to be the ones to tell you this, but shaving too closely is one of the triggers for razor bumps. Hair stubs cut too closely will get trapped inside the hair follicle and dig inward or sideways. Don't worry, the disappearance of unsightly ingrown hairs will more than make up for the "five-o'clock shadow" appearance.

• To avoid shaving too close, don't pull the skin when you shave; don't put too much pressure on the blades; shave with the grain and use a single-blade razor.

• You will need to maintain this approach over time, as one extra-close shave will be enough to cause a recurrence of ingrown hairs that will take weeks to heal.

4. Treat already ingrown hairs

• Carefully lift the ingrown end out with tweezers, but don't pluck the hair out; this will only make the hair regrow deeper.

• Azulene and Allantoin will help reduce the redness and swelling.
