Why
Don't Acne Cures Work?

Quite a bit of money
can be spent
searching for acne cures that work. There are so many products
available, that it is hard to know which one’s to try. You
try one product, only to be disappointed, and then spend a lot of money
on another system that claims it will cure your acne, only to be
disappointed again. It seems to be a never ending cycle of looking for
a cure, thinking you’ve found an acne cure, then being
disappointed all over again.
The biggest problem is that people don’t give the acne cures
enough time to actually work, switching from one product to the next on
a weekly basis. It can take up to three months for an acne treatment to
cure your acne, and you may even notice that your acne appears to be
getting worse before it starts to get better. Failure to follow the
product directions is another common problem. Using too much of the
acne medication can be just as much of a problem as not using it
enough, causing your skin to become irritated.
The problem may not be the acne cures. Too often, people depend solely
on the acne medication to cure acne, when in fact other lifestyle
changes are needed. In many cases, medicinal acne treatments are not
even required if you find that something else in your life is causing
the acne. Most people don’t think in terms of what is causing
the acne in the first place, concentrating solely on curing the
existing acne. But, in order to cure it for good, you must first
determine what is causing it. Then, you will have your acne cure.
Science has shown us that acne is caused by excessive sebum production.
With that proven, it is up to you, and possibly your health care
provider, to determine exactly what is causing your body to produce
excess sebum.
Other than the medication, you have to look at how you care for your
skin. You must wash your face well at least twice each day, stop
wearing makeup - which only serves to clog your pores even more, drink
plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and exercise at least
three times a week. Many people don’t realize it, but
exercise relieves stress and helps remove toxins from the body through
sweat. Both stress and toxins contribute to acne, which is why
exercising regularly can actually be an acne cure for you.
Furthermore, you must keep your hair and your hands off your face. Hair
and hands contain oils that contribute to acne. Squeezing or popping
acne pimples is another problem, because it spreads the bacteria, and
often causes scarring as well.
You may have a food allergy that is causing your acne. If this is the
case, a visit to an allergy specialist, determining what foods you are
allergic to, and eliminating those foods from your diet will cure your
acne in most cases. Many people don’t realize that they have
food allergies, although most of us actually do, and in many cases, the
only symptom that there is an allergy is, in fact, an acne breakout!
Making simple lifestyle changes may be the best acne cure available to
you, and you may be pleasantly surprised at the results - especially
considering how small the changes are. You should also increase your
intake of vitamins A and E, as both of the vitamins promote healthy
skin. You can take supplements, or eat foods that are rich in one or
both of these vitamins. This small change can also help to cure or
prevent acne.
However, if making these small lifestyle changes, and using over the
counter acne treatments does not provide an acne cure for you, it may
be necessary for you to visit a dermatologist to determine what will
work. There are many different treatments available that have proven to
be effective acne cures. While most of the acne cures your
dermatologist will recommend can be expensive, they are usually well
worth the cost. Again, make sure that you give the treatment time to
work, and follow the directions of your dermatologist for use of the
medication.
