Acne 101: Everything You Need To Know About Pimples [VIDEO]

Nobody likes acnes and pimples, right? Though most cases can be treated and do not require immediate medical attention, acnes are generally unpleasant. As the cliché goes, keep your friends close but your enemies closer. And one way to "keep them closer" is to totally familiarize yourself about these zits. Here's everything you need to know:

Causes

According to National Institutes of Health, acne is a disease that greatly affects the skin’s oil glands. Usually found on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders, acnes occur when the pores of your skin become clogged - leaving scars and blemishes.

Skin care experts say that the more irritation your skin experiences, the more likely it is to break out. Sources of irritation include anything that rubs, scratches or comes into prolonged contact with your face, as well as extreme dryness, sunburns, shaving and of course, girl's pore-clogging make-ups or beauty products. 

Likewise, Medical News Today explained aside from hormonal imbalances, environmetal irritants including pollution and high humidity can really cause zits. 

Prevention

The best way to get rid of acne is to try to keep your face as clean and untouched as possible. Washing it twice a day removes excess oils, dirts, impurities and dead skins. To prevent oil buildup, the face should be washed morning and evening with warm or lukewarm water and a mild, gentle, non-abrasive cleanser. 

Thus, expoliating it regularly aids in lightening dark acne marks and blemishes. Don't forget to feed your skin by moisturizing it and applying sunscreen to protect it from UV rays.

Treatment

Never prick or squeeze your pimples, doing so will only worsen your problem. Have a basic beauty regimen that is most appropriate for your skin type. Using all-natural and organic products also does the job of helping you fight acne as they aid in reducing acne inflammation and breakouts. If things seem to really get worse, you may consult your dermatologist for medical care and assistance.
