Acne Skin Care: 8 Simple Tips To Follow
Commonly affecting the skin condition of people between ages 12 to 24 is a disease called acne. The cause of acne is hard to determine. However, over secretion of the sebaceous glands is pointed as the cause to trigger most acne outbreaks.
Pilosebaceous units are the combination of the hair follicles and oil glands in the skin. Except for the surface of the palms and the soles of the feet, pilosabaceous units are found on the skin tissue throughout the body . They are responsible in secreting the oily substance called sebum. However, due to many factors (e.g. hormonal imbalances, stress and the skin's natural condition) the oil glands may be induced to produce more sebum than normal. When this happens, the excess oil plugs the skin pores. This process brings about bacterial infection and stimulate the reaction of the immune system. In the end, acne inflammation results.
Acne can strike at any skin type. An oily skin type is most subseptible to acne. Dry skin on the other hand, may not be as susceptible but serious outbreaks may occur during winter. Normal skin is equally susceptible to acne but the level of severity may not be as high.
Presently, acne is not yet totally curable but can be remedied with several acne skin care methods. Many seek the help of topical medications, which are applied on the surface of the skin. However, employing the use of acne skin care products like "pore strip pads" may remove whiteheads and blackheads but they would not have any effect on the excess sebum produced.
Nevertheless, for remedy and prevention, it is best to employ the following 8 simple tips:
1. A healthy, well-balanced diet must be observed. Therefore, your food intake must incorporate all the essential nutrients the body needs for efficient functioning.
2. Drink plenty of fluids like water, juices. Minimize the intake of carbonated drinks.
3. No make up is recommended.
4. Wash your face with mild soap and water. The logic is to not remove the dirt (as the majority of acne-inflicted person perceive) but to remove the plugs on the skin pores, which may be a combination of dead skin cells, bacteria and hardened sebum. Although dirt is not truly the cause of acne, it may contribute to further infection through its interaction with skin debris and particles and extra oil in the skin.
5. Use topical cleansing pads that may contain one or the combination of the following: salicylic acid, sulfur and benzoyl peroxide to remove excess oil. Another way to minimize the presence of extra oil in the skin is to wash the face with the hottest water you can withstand.
6. Minimize the use of harsh cleansers and use acne skin care items that exfoliate mildly. Do not scrub vigorously to the affected areas.
7. If your hands are dirty, refrain from touching your face.
8. If you have long hair, tie up your hair so that it is kept away from the face. This is especially so if the weather is hot and you have been perspiring.
Preventative acne skin care steps are just as important as the treatment of acne itself. With prevention, at least, you know how to ensure that your acne problem does not escalate and spread to a bigger infected area.

Mask for Acne Skin
Medicated mask are most commonly used for oily acne skin. They comes in forms of clay mask, gel mask, cream mask, peel - off mask, individually wrapped paper mask, individual crystal gel mask, powdered mask with activator lotion and many more. With so many choices, how should one with acne skin problem choose one that is right for their skin?
For oily and acne skin that is very sensitive due to either inflammation or thinning of the skin, paper or gel mask will be a better alternative then clay mask or peel off mask. Treat your skin as sensitive skin. Many products that deals with acne problem unfortunately will usually make the skin rather dehydrated and sensitive. A mask is a good way to re-balance the skin.
Clay mask , peel - off mask and powder mask with activator is best for oily skin with black heads and white heads. Some of the peel - off mask in the market can actually get rid of blackheads as you peel it off. Be careful not to used this kind too often as it will loosen your muscle tone and make your skin rather sensitive. I’ve seen some individuals who is so obsessed with using this kind of stripping mask so often that they no only end up with sensitive skin, but with the constant damage of the skin, causes pigmentation, thus, developing a new set of skin problem???
What is the proper way of using mask? Generally most mask is advice to be put on after cleansing and exfoliating. Many ask if one should tone the face first before masking or to tone after masking? For oily acne skin, my advice would be after. Reason, most acne skin mask is deep cleansing, it is mean to clean out the pores and to calm the skin. Most toner or astringent is to temporally ‘close’ the pores, so, logically it should be used after masking.
Most manufacturer of mask will advice to have the mask on for 20 minutes to 30 minutes with a rear few that is design for overnight use. It is good that you rest while the mask is on, resting help in better absorption of the active ingredients. Therefore, never put on the mask and start doing housework or go back to your computer. Remember, you can’t expect to get the best result when your body is multi-tasking. So how long can you leave the mask on the face, what happen if you fell asleep with the mask on?
Understand that when the mask is on the face, it forms a barrier from the outside environment. This will prevent any invasion of bacteria or even the exchange of gases. This helps the skin to ‘preserve’ time and for better absorption. Now, if the mask is left too long on the skin, it will actually suffocate the skin. This is why, the maximum time you can leave a mask on the face should not exceed an hour. So, if you are that tired and need to rest with a mask on, adjust your alarm clock.
