Acne on the loose!

Having acne which causes what we call ‘pimples’ can be quite a nuisance. You will find yourself unknowingly looking at the mirror or practically anything which can reflect yourself. You become self-conscious on how you look, you become paranoid and start convincing yourself that everyone is looking at your puss-filled pimple and the bottomline is you don’t feel comfortable. You felt irritated, you felt annoyed, you felt frustrated and the list can go on and on.

I think this scenario would have happened to us at some part of our life.
You woke up in the morning, feeling groggy and listless, and dragged your feet to the washroom to freshen yourself up. As you were brushing your teeth, you look yourself in the mirror and to your epic horror; you spotted a big reddish pimple which cleverly positioned itself on your right cheek, right smack in the middle.
There you go, your day is ruined even before you get the chance to step out of the house.

As an old saying goes, Prevention is always better than Cure.
In this site, I will try to make things as simple to understand as possible, no medical jargons that we don’t understand, or too lengthy to be comprehended. Because I am not trying to write a good abstract here, but instead, I want to bring understanding and benefits to everyone.

So, what causes pimples? The very first thing that comes to our minds most of the time is OILY SKIN. Right and wrong. Oily skin is one of the reasons. Even if you are born with oily skin(like yours truly), it can still be prevented, if effort is being put in. No rocket science here.

Pimples are caused by Acne, so what causes Acne?
Basically, there are full of microscopic pores on our faces and some other parts of our body, we won’t be able to see them with our naked eyes. These pores, they are made up of glands and a hair. The sweat glands will produce a kind of waxy substance which helps us to keep our skin and hair moisturized.

Acne can occur in 2 scenarios (Actually there are more than 2 scenarios, but I will share with you more as we go along)
1) The pores got blocked.
2) The glands which produce a waxy substance that helps us to keep our skin and hair moisturized are producing it excessively, which resulted in the forming of acne.

Most of the scenarios are inter-linked to each other, but I will stop here for now as the post is getting lengthy.

At the meantime, get plenty of rest, as it is one of the best ways to calm acne down or even to prevent it!

LITTLE TIPS FOR YOU!
-Don’t wash your face too many times in a day as it will wash away all the ‘good stuff’ and your pores will get clogged easily because of that. Twice will be good.
