Getting A Set Of Creams, Lotions And Gels To Treat Your Acne

   
Any cream that is soft like butter and full of fragrance seems good for applying on the face. Your nostrils like that aroma. When, unfortunately you have an attack of acne, you get lots of such opportunities to stand before the mirror and apply acne creams, lotions and gels. The joy-cream turns out to be a fear-cream now. You don't like to see the growth and spread of acne on your face. Now, you don't like these creams as such, but you have no other alternative.

Do not have imaginings that you apply cream and the acne will vanish forthwith. Acne has come to stay, it has the premeditated plans about what to do with your face and how long to stay there. But if you make its stay more comfortable, by not taking proper care, it may prolong its trip further.

Over the counter medications like creams, lotions and gels do a reasonably good job to control acne. But as an additional support, you need to avoid anything that contributes to skin irritation, like cosmetics, greasy ointments, petroleum oils, alcohol and oleic acid containing cosmetics.

These are helpful oils as well. Lavender oil, tea tree oil, jojoba oil and coconut oil are good in combating acne. You need to develop the habit of cleansing the skin. Wear no make up at bedtime; your skin should be allowed to breathe freely in the night. Use a gentler scrub, to exfoliate, at least 3-4 times per week.

For treating mild acne, use topical agents like gels and lotions. Benzoyl peroxide is the most acceptable for treating acne, either in the form of cream, lotion or gel. When the pores of the skin are clogged, due to excess oil secretion, bacteria thrive. The next condition is inflammation and swelling. This medication tackles bacteria and the dead cells are removed from the skin's surface.

The next one is retinoic acid. This is one of the mild agents that works steadily and effectively. The first reaction of this medicine is aggravation but then it slowly does its job of removing the dead skin cells.

Sulfur-is another type of effective medication, be it in the form of cream, lotion or gel, which provides the back up to heal blemishes.

The problems with the skin, when you have the attack of acne are many and so are the means of treatment. The Salycylic acid clears the pores, takes out dirt and oils but its specific job is to treat the blackheads.

More or less, in the same category, you have Azelic acid. This is very mild and non-toxic. It attacks bacteria, the root cause of acne, diminishes inflammation and restores the original health of acne. The dark post-acne spots are taken care of, by this medicine.

All the above are available as over the counter medications in the form of acne creams, lotion and gels.
