Acne is big problem for everyone especially women. Acne make women not confident, shame, uncomfortable, and of course when using make up will not perfect.
My skin condition is tend easily to breakout, i have problem with acne since high school and worst when i at college. When i have a lot of acne do you think i'm not care for my skin? Not Right. my effort was great to get rid acne and of course i always aks and seraching the best method to get rid acne from many resources. But at the time the result is zero. I always ask? why my face still not getting better after treatment at beauty clinic, go to doctor who specialize at skin, use products who they say is the best to curing acne, and etc... until i can't recall hahaha :)
My skin type is oily skin, this type tend very easily got acne because produce to much sebum at your face. Just 2 hours after i wash my face i will need several pieces of face paper. It make me so depressed T_T
What Causes Acne ?
Acne is a skin disease that involves oil glands at the base of hair follicles. These Glands produce sebum an oily liquid. The glands are stimulated by male hormones by the adrenal glands of both males and females. To simply it - skin cells, sebum and hair can clump together into a plug, this plug gets infected with bacteria resulting in swelling. Experts believe the primary cause is a rise in androgen levels (type of hormones) Rising androgen levels make the oil glands under you skin grow , the enlarged gland produces more oil. Excessive sebum can break down cellular walls in your pores causing bacteria to grow.
My Experiences Treating Acne ?
Because i face acne since high school i have many experiences to shared from Failed to Success Way
Failed Way :
Treatment at Beauty Clinic?
Ok, this treatment cost a lot of money and can not give me perfect result. Why?
They give you suggestion to do acne facial, acne peeling, Use their Products (cream,toner,sunblock,etc)
Result :
- Acne facial just worst my acne because my skin got inflame because their procedures and make my acne become worst because of inflamation when they remove blackheads. Pain? Of course pain when they remove blackheads.
- Acne Peeling : Just make your skin layer thiner and make your skin become more sensitive
My Tips : Remove your blackheads using Innisfree Jeju Pore Clay Mask Hard, I don't have blackheads problem after using this product routine also reduce sebum problem.
Go To Doctors Who Specialize at Skin
This way also cost a lot of money, they just want patients using their products and not really look the problem. In Simple Word - they just make the same prescribtion for one to another. I have friend who have mild acne problem and she got same prescribtion like me who got severe acne. I look another doctors i hope they different, but is not.
And another then another methods that i can't recall again....
So... I got depressed and depressed and no hope, one day i take decision to balance my diet,stress,sleep and change to natural skin care product. From many searching i tend to like use korean skin care that offers natural skin care. NO Parabens, Mineral oil, etc...
I change my way to natural ways, is it success?
Day by day i look my face, i don't have severe acne again just small pimple once in a month.
To success this way first i reduce my sebum, cause sebum is the main topic cause of acne.
