youth_acne.jpgAcne on your face can be sooo unbearable to look at that we are so very tempted to squeeze them whenever we face the mirror. Is it harmful to squeeze your Acne?

Yes, squeezing an acne may cause a deeper infection and more painful inflamation which may cause it to last much longer than if you don’t squeeze it. If the acne is really deep down  and the pus isn’t close enough to the surface, you end up squeezing the bacteria infested acne back down into your deeper skin layers and will cause it to spread further into other areas of the face. Usually when we are trying to squeeze our own blemishes, we try too hard  getting the satisfaction of popping something out and we forget all the scarring and the pain that comes with squeezing. So my advice is to leave it to the experts.

If the acne is at a point of bursting, make sure you wash your face thoroughly and disinfect your hand and any instruments that you are using. Be gentle to your skin, do not over do it as this may scar your face. My advice is to use a sringe head than a needle if you want to prick and allow the pus to flow out. Needles may cause ‘ice-pick’ marks on the skin. Just very gently pick only the very superficial, thinnest part of the acne. Remember to disinfect your skin again after squeezing a good healing oil for acne skin will be teatree oil.

*Note:  Except teatree and lavender oil, never use essential oil direct on the skin without blending, as this may cause burning of the skin.

washing-face.jpgAlthough acne is basically an internal condition triggered by several underlying factors, external facts like diet and improper handling of acne skin will interfere with the healing process, sometimes to the extend of causing more acne to form.

Without handling these external triggers, it will be very difficult for anyone to overcome their acne challenge, especially when you are having underlying “living” acne that is waiting to surface .Clogged or enlarged pores, oily yet very dehydrated complexion and bad skin hygiene do not cause acne but they interfere with the healing process of the skin and make your external acne environment more prone or “susceptible” to acne.Simple daily routine of taking care of acne prone skin will not only help in the healing process of your existing acne, it will help to balance the skin’s ph level. this in turn will help you to have a smoother, more even toned and a healthier skin.There are many types of cleansers in the market like exfoliating scrub cleanser, foaming cleansers, Aha cleansers and medicated cleansers. My recommendation is to wash your face twice a day using a gentle antiseptic and anti-bacterial 100% natural cleanser that contains tea tree oil and salicylic acid both hailed by skincare specialist to be two of the more effective ingredients  to help reduce inflammation, swelling and redness and significantly improve the overall appearance of your skin without the irritation, allergy reactions and over-dryness that over the counters like Benzoyl Peroxide can cause.Washing your face should be done twice a day. It is best done after taking a shower as the steam from the shower helps to open up the pores and loosen some of the oil and dirt that is accumulated on the skin.  1. Use lukewarm water to pat the face.2. Foam up you cleanser between your palms and apply on the face, do not rub.3. Wash your face gently and pat your skin dry using a cotton towel. Remember never to over stimulate your skin as it will encourage spreading of the acne and causing skin to be more active in producing oil.Warning: Never wash your face with water that is too high in temperature and not more than twice daily unless after sports or outdoor activities as this will have a adverse reaction to the skin and may cause more irritation to the skin.

One of the best friend for acne skin is pure Aloe vera gel. (99.9% purity) it helps to hydrate oily skin with the ability to calm and soothe acne skin. Use whenever the skin feels hot after an outdoor activity, after sports or whenever you feel that your face is feeling sensitive.If you have sensitive skin, the best practice is to test each product prior to using it, using dollar size amount on your chin, regardless of its quality or the nature of its ingredients.

To say that modern life is very different from what our ancestors used to call living is a huge understatement. It’s plain to see that ancestors as close to us as our very grandparents are shocked by many aspects of our lives. Little things like hairstyles, clothes, computers and ideologies are completely foreign to the older folk. Attitudes that were unthinkable 50 years ago are moving into today’s mainstream with the rise of a new generation of people.

Personal care has been for a long time associated with women. Through the centuries, personal care has gone hand in hand with beautification and the innate impulse of every woman to make herself look as pretty as she could. A pretty face goes a long way toward making a great first impression, not to mention other benefits later on.

However, men have always been supposed to be different. Men were expected to be tough and, if possible, smart. In time, men have let their coarse side show more and more frequently, until it became quite natural for men to be coarse and to disdain personal care. Such activities were seen as soft, feminine things that could make a man too soft for whatever manly business he was supposed to do. A man openly trying to get rid of acne because it made him look ugly must have been seen as a strange character.

However, times have changed. Men are today no longer content to play the old roles, neither at work nor in bed. The exploration of new ways of getting pleasure in bed has revealed that men have a lot to gain by admitting to softer feelings. Metrosexuality appeals to every man’s vanity and to the need to improve one’s chances of getting laid as often as possible. While certain men snicker at face creams, nail polish and strange clothes, these things tend to score points with the ladies.

The rise of Metrosexuality is also blurring the distinction between sexes. Any person can play any role and be anybody. This is why more and more men get to patronize expensive shops instead of simply buying a new pair of jeans when the old one starts to look threadbare and to go to hairdressers instead of barbers. New roles require new clothes, new styles and new attitudes. Modern men and women have become refined pleasure hunters, not easily pleased.

And with appearances playing such a big role in the lives of men, it’s small wonder that acne is no longer tolerated. Which is why men have started to turn to skincare solutions, such as ClearPores, in a bid to improve their looks. ClearPores is a full skincare system designed to clear away nasty red spots and blackheads that spoil the carefully crafted image of a stylish man. Using the effective of SD Alcohol and Salicylic Acid, ClearPores is able to open up the pores and clear away the grime, excess sebum and bacteria.

ClearPores can be described best as one of the key weapons in a modern man’s arsenal. A weapon in the war against acne. There is no reason to let acne spoil your image, just as there is no reason to settle for anything less than a full system that covers every angle of your anti-acne effort. This is why we recommend ClearPores as the best solution for all your acne-related troubles.
