The Causes of Acne Explained And Ways You Can Treat It

Acne is undoubtedly the most common skin disorder in the world. Nearly everyone is prone to acne. The only difference is the severity, that's all. Both male and female get acne, but the condition on male is likelier to be more severe.

Acne is formed when the sebaceous glands secretes too much sebum in order to remove excessive dead skin cells from our body, which inevitably brings to the formation of acne. Basically no acne is formed without a clogged pore and hair follicle.

• Sebaceous glands "receive order" from hormone androgen and secrete sebum. When the glands are too sensitive to androgen, excessive sebum is created
• The sebum mix with some excessive dead skin cells become sticky and block the pores
• Bacteria comes in and enjoy the sticky meal and to do that, bacteria would have to release an enzyme (lipase) to digest the sebum.
• Inflammation occur when your body's immune system sends a group of white blood cells and red blood cells to kill and remove the bacteria and enzyme.
  
• Poof. You just got acne...

Above is a simple explanation of the formation of acne. With these you now know you can improve your acne condition just by tackling several issues:

1. Excessive sebum.
   
2. Excessive hormones
3. Bacteria
4. Excessive dead skin cells
5. And so on and so forth...

Dealing With Sebum
You can reduce the amount of secretion by drinking more water, maintaining a healthy diet that consists of a lot of fibers, sleeping more than 8 hours (or at least). By using oil-drying tissue you can also remove sebum and dead skin cells from your face effectively.

Frequent washing of your face IS NOT recommended because this will in turn create more problems. I explained this in an earlier post titled - How TO WASH Your Face - Fighting Acne 101. The best acne treatment system you can find in this world is ClearPores. I've used it with great results. You should really learn how to properly wash your face because that is where most people screw up.

Dealing With Hormones
There are ways to reduce the secretion of hormone. To get your hormone system regulated, there are ways you can apply such as:

• Sleep more. By sleeping more, your hormone system works more optimally.
• Eat more vegetables and fruits. The nutrients of vegetables and fruits are essential for every bodily hormonal functions.
  

Dealing with Bacteria
To make sure bacteria is a non-issue, you should go about improving your immune system so that your body can remove the bacteria effectively without causing an inflammation. Some basic tips include:

• Sleep more. Can you now see a trend? Treating acne actually asks for more sleep. By sleeping less, it is shown by researches that the body's immune system will deteriorate by a great length. So, sleep more. It's good for you. Just don't oversleep (9 hours or more). It will cause drowsiness.
• Eat a healthy diet. To improve the immune system, you should concentrate on taking more Vitamin A, C, E and Zinc. These are four of the most important nutrients to improve your immune system.

Excessive Dead Skin Cells
In my humble opinion, dead skin cells alone are never enough to cause acne. So by doing the three things above right, removing excessive dead skin cells is not so important. Dead skin cell can be removed easily by using an exfoliant or even a simple cleanser.

To end this, I would like to recommend to you ClearPores to cure your acne fast. It is the best product that I have come across. ClearPores concentrates on getting rid of your acne by clearing the sebum and dirt underneath your skin and kill the bacterias that cause acne which make it so effective on acne.
