acne is a woman’s woe

Acne is probably one of the worse skin problems a person has to deal with. Skin problems are a curse and affect both genders, people of all ages and sizes. Clear skin treatments can be found on every shelf out there,however it’s up to us to choose the correct product for our skin. Reading up beforehand can help you make the most accurate decision as to which treatment can provide you with the most relief. Skin Helpers provide reviews on various skin care products. Imagine the trouble of waking up each day to all the nasty breakouts in your face and skin? Not to mention the implications it has on the way you view and value yourself, as well as the way you relate to other people. I was lucky to not have encountered this skin woe in all of my 33 years of life. Sure I had those breakouts when I was a teenager and tried a number of soaps and facial wash to ward them off, thank goodness! Of course, I have a few pimple scars which I got for not listening to my father whenever he warned me not to prick a zit or two, but they are otherwise tolerable and something I can live with.

I know that some people are not as lucky and that there are others who had to fight pimple and acne all the way through their adult life, take Jared’s dad, for example. Up to these days, he would still have these zits everywhere even in his 30’s. With a very oily skin type and a not-so-healthy habit of smoking, he is very susceptible to pimple and acne. It is a good thing that he, along with a multitude of other people who share the same woes, can not have access to the most effective way to fight acne and beat it for good, but I will get to that later.

Acne in a nutshell 

You see an ugly zit when you look in the mirror and blames yourself for staying up way too late last night for this unsightly break out. The truth is your pimple can’t have grown overnight and there is more to them that actually meets the eye.

Although it seem like you can get a pimple overnight, the truth is an acne blemish begins about 2-3 weeks before they finally break out into the skin’s surface, and what you are actually frowning about it the mirror is the final stage of a much longer process. It all starts in the sebaceous hair follicles or those tiny holes in our skin we call pores. Within each follicle the sebaceous glands work to produce sebum, or the oil that keeps skin moist and pliable. As the skin renew itself, the old cells normally shed gradually to make room for fresh new skin, but in some cases these dead skin block the pores that result to over-accumulation of oil underneath. Bacteria that live on the skin begin to grow and multiply in this site, which trigger an inflammatory response causing a red and angry pore we see as a pimple, at the end of the acne-formation process.

The best way to treat acne

If you have a very resourceful mum like I did, you must have tried a gazillion of remedies to solve your acne woes. You must’ve have tried a number of over-the-counter facial wash hoping to get rid of the zits overnight and you might have even tried numerous beauty soaps to help you get the clear and blemish-free skin you are yearning for. Chances are the lot of them may not yield the most favorable results that you are avidly hoping for. And you will end up getting more zits than you originally have. Why? Because most of these treatments often leave dark marks or scars and do not work to prevent future break outs.

So what exactly is the best solution? Choose the Proactiv way to stop acne, as it prevents acne at the root cause, eventually destroying the acne cycle.

a new proactiv solution to acne

When you were a teenager, how many times did you spend those afternoon free times staring at your shiny face in the mirror, pining over your acne-laced face + wishing your skin woes away! Am sure all of us, at one point in our lives, have had to deal with pimples + acne + other skin problems + I am also certain that we have tried quite a number of beauty products available during the days to help us achieve our dream of having smooth + clear (not to mention acne-free) skin!

I know cause I did. Like most teenagers my age I was also plagued with pimples + my mum would always buy different products I can use on my face to eliminate the nasty + red pimple altogether. She’d buy a liquid soap one time or this toner (where you’d have to place a vitamin + dissolve it in the solution, remember that?) some other time. Not most of them actually fulfill what they have promised to do in the first place + I’d still be stuck with pimples for days on end much to my embarrassment.

I am only glad the pimple plague disappeared when I went past my teenage years! Whew, what a relief! I am only hoping that it would not be as heart-breaking + half-stressful when my little man has to pass this stage himself + Lord, please, do not let him inherit his dad’s oily skin 😉

Well, the thing is I probably do not have to worry, I just need to buy my son this new product that is recently launched in the country. The number 1 anti-acne system in the world, Proactiv Solution, introduces its latest product line, New Proactiv, which is designed to fight acne gentler + faster than ever before.

The New Proactiv Solution works its wonders through its secret formula, the advanced micro crystal benzoyl peroxide (exclusive to Proactiv products) which has particles that are small enough to penetrate pores faster, in turn, killing the acne-causing bacteria faster but does not sit on the surface of the skin too long and cause skin irritations.
