There are sensitive skin types out there.  I’ve seen them before, and it’s sad.  Some people think it’s funny, I’m more inclined to see it fast, especially after seeing someone I know with a face that was blown up to twice its normal size because of a baby wipe.  That being said, there are various allergies, and it may not be so much that your skin is sensitive if you are suffering from a baby wipe, but rather because of severe allergies of some type.  So that’s definitely something to get tested. 

But if you do have really sensitive skin as I’ve seen with a number of people, you should check out Epuri products.  This is something I’ve realized recently.  I started out with their water based moisturizer, I know, not an acne treatment.  But the idea of it turning to water on my skin appealed to me, and the amazing thing was my skin still felt moisturized.  From there, I moved onto their wash, which is great. 

You can use the scrub too, both are great, it just depends on you.  Personally, I prefer the wash.  But I’ve seen even the most sensitive skinned people use these, and it has to do with various things.  Obviously, you avoid things like benzoyl peroxide if you have that problem.  But it’s more than just avoiding a few select things.

Rosacea can easily be mistaken for different things.  It may even be mistaken for simple acne or moreover the results of exertion in the body.  But rosacea is something more severe and something that cannot be cured.  It results in redness, irritation, dryness, small bumps, and easy flushing as well as a general ruddiness, visibly swollen pustules and blood vessels, and otherwise.  It is generally seen between ages 30 and 50 in women, and it is believed that darker skinned women suffer from it, it is just harder to tell. 

It is a chronic inflammatory disease, and it tends to produce far more serious problems than your normal.  Users who complain of it generally have to take unconventional measures as far as comparing it to acne treatments, and most treatments kill bacteria in most ways by burning it out of the skin.  A classic example of this is the fact that many use chemical peels to get rid of their rosacea or at least treat it temporarily.  Many of the treatments could cause many of the same symptoms and worse.  But people do it anyway, because they believe that is the only way to go about it, to kill that specific type of bacteria, etc.

The truth is that while antibiotics are meant to kill bacteria that will harm your system, cause infections, cause illness, etc, it is only about 1% of bacteria that is actually harmful to the body and skin.  The rest is either good and necessary to life or it is neutral.  When you take an antibiotic, even for acne, you are actually killing off good bacteria while leaving a little bit of the bad bacteria which eventually turns into super bacteria.  And for this reason, you could cause serious health problems or otherwise by killing off bacteria when you don’t actually need to.  And this is also why yogurt could be considered one of the ultimate acne foods. 

Yogurt, no matter the flavor or kind has good bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus, which actually balances out the digestive system to help you better process and even absorb nutrients among other things.  It can fight against bad bacteria in some ways in and of itself, and of course if you watch Grey’s Anatomy, you find that not taking unnecessary antibiotics and having the good bacteria will prevent you from having to undergo a fecal transplant.  But as far as all the elements, I found that unless you have an allergy to milk, it will help with some cases of acne to reduce the inflammation and pain among other things.

While there are multiple causes of acne and myths about acne, there is one big myth to start about.  There are some who like to tell you that they can cure acne.  There is no cure for acne.  It is a disease of sorts yes, but you grow out of it.  You cannot make your hormones suddenly stop acting up just because you want them to.  Now if you want to deal with your acne in the meantime, you can certainly control your hormones behavior to some degree, disinfect to kill bacteria, reduce excess oils on the surface of your skin, etc.  But you cannot cure acne.  In addition, you have to remember that just about everything affects acne.  Not everything causes acne.  But multiple things like stress, diet, exercise, sleep patterns, etc. can affect it.  They can make it worse, give you breakouts, make your skin more prone to blackheads, etc.

So in general, these are good things to do.  But while you are waiting to grow out of your acne, we suggest controlling your diet, using a good acne wash on your face, keeping your stress levels down, getting enough sleep, and drinking a good amount of water.

Blackheads are caused by many different factors.  There is one thing that is sure about them.  They appear as these little black dots littered across the skin in just about every pore, and they can be compared to whiteheads in some ways.  Scientists and experts have said that blackheads actually result because bacterias have gotten into the pores and they have trapped oils in the pores, which subsequently hardened and when exposed to oxygen then turned into the black coloring you see with blackheads. 

Others have said that they are caused by makeup which blocks the pores and gives you other problems as well in some cases.  However, that depends largely on the makeup.  Either way, blackheads are otherwise known as open comedones, and they have been a growing problem, especially because they are the precursors in some ways of acne breakouts like zits.  Still, there are various ways to get rid of them.  Some treatments get inside the pores to kill the bacteria and release the oils.  Others use small metal tools to try to push them out.  Still others pull them out with a nose strip or otherwise.  But either way, there are various ways to get rid of blackheads.  The problem is more surrounding the idea of keeping them away.
