Acne - How To Prevent And Eliminate Ace Easily?

By Haiyan Lasi-Heskin

Acne is a skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (made up of a hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and a hair), everywhere except in the palms of the hands, the soles, the top of the feet, the lower lip.

The face and upper neck are the most commonly affected, but the chest, back and shoulders may have acne as well. The upper arms can also have acne, but lesions found there are often keratosis pilaris.

About 85% of all teenagers will have acne to some degree. A teenage body is suffused in raging hormones, and those hormones are responsible in a large part for acne.

Teenager can use bar soaps or washes vary from 2 to 10% in strengthn to keep face clean and help prevent acne. Using harsh cleansers will not prevent acne.

Washing the face thoroughly twice a day, morning and evening, with a mild soap with your fingers using a gentle circular motion and patting (not rubbing) it dry.

NOT consuming certain foods (nutrients) can contribute to acne. Vitamins A, E, and B6 are the biggies, but there are also many other trace elements that the body and the average American diet does not include enough of these vitamins, minerals, and trace elements.

Orally administered zinc gluconate has been shown to be effective in the treatment of inflammatory acne, although less so than tetracyclines.

If you want healthy, glowing, acne-free skin, you need to eat a diet that is high in fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, whole grains, fish, and shellfish. And clean you skin completly and correctly twice a day.
