BREAKOUT TUESDAY : 

Is the Sun Hott Enuff For You Yet????

Are You Suffering from Bad Acne????

I sure Do.......

I found my solution for acne in 2004

Is your acne mild or severe?

Almost everyone experiences some pimples,

 especially during adolescence.

 Mild acne can sometimes be treated successfully with 

over-the-counter creams and cleansers — but not always. 

Acne is considered mild if only the face is affected, t

he blemishes are mostly whiteheads and blackheads, 

and papules or pustules are uncommon. 

(Papules are large, red, painful blemishes

 that do not contain pus; 

pustules are similar to papules but contain pus.)

When several papules and pustules are present, 

there is the greater risk for scarring. 

Acne this severe should definitely be seen

 by a doctor or dermatologist. 

If you are experiencing numerous breakouts or 

have acne on the chest and/or back, 

don't wait — consult a doctor or dermatologist. 

It's important to get to the root of the 

problem with the treatment thats right for you. 

Speak to your doctor about appropriate treatment.

Acne: Myth vs Fact

Here are some common myths — and some real facts:

MYTH: People get acne from poor hygiene.

FACT: Acne begins below the surface

 of the skin when the hair follicle becomes plugged. 

Bacteria that cause inflammation in the hair follicles of your

 skin may contribute to the formation 

of acne pimples and blackheads. 

However, the blackheads aren't

 plugged with dirt, and the pimples simply won't get better

 with repeated washing.

 In fact, over-washing may actually irritate your skin.

MYTH: Eating greasy, fried foods or chocolate causes acne.

FACT: No one has been able to prove that chocolate causes acne. 

The only way fried foods may promote blemishes is if the oil

 in which they are cooked gets onto your skin and isn't completely washed off. 

Sometimes a poor diet reflects a stressful lifestyle. In some people, 

stress itself can trigger an outbreak of acne by increasing production of hormones.

MYTH: Using makeup causes acne.

FACT: Some makeup can promote the clogging of pores. Look for makeup labeled

 "non-comedogenic,"

 which is specially formulated not to clog your pores or aggravate skin.

MYTH: Washing your face frequently will prevent acne.

FACT: No matter how much you scrub, you can't prevent clogged pores. 

In reality, washing too frequently, or with harsh cleansers, can actually make it worse.

 Your body may produce more oil to combat the dryness. 

Try a mild cleanser such asCetaphil^® cleansers, formulated for all skin types. 

If you have already have acne, 

talk to your dermatologist about medicated cleansers and gels.
