One thing is clear; acne is not caused by dirt. It is caused when the oil in our body is not digested effectively and dead skin cells become sticky and obstruct the skin pores. Bacteria then enters into the pores and causes infection and soreness.
So what can be done to prevent this happening? It seems obvious to stay away from McDonald’s and other junk foods, yet our bodies may still produce oil.
Hygiene helps to control it, yet acne is not caused by a lack of hygiene, it comes about because of bacteria already present in the skin. The only true combatant, it seems, is to use a variety of acne deterrence methods at the same time.
Zinc gluconate and some antibiotics implemented orally are both effective in treating the infection of acne, while insulin is also revealed to have worked in the same way. No big studies have been done on the latter though, so proceed thoroughly with this one. Some physicians have even suggested birth control tablets as having limited acne, then again some say that they can cause acne!
Research is now being done on the use of laser treatment for the prevention of acne. Lasers have been used to cure the scars left by really bad acne, and it has recently been identified that the follicle sac from which the hair grows, as well as the sweat gland that produces oil, can be burned away by the use of lasers.
You may have heard of the N-Lite laser treatment method. It was recently shown in a well-known regular TV show in the UK with a guest who believed it was the only thing that had absolutely cured her. This led to widespread recognition for N-Lite and hundreds of new clients for the company.
Naturally, since this TV visual appeal, a lot of people have used their expert services with varying results.
The fact is that there is no one cure that will tackle everybody’s skin type. The only way to overcom acne is to mix and match different treatments, throughout, as well as on the skin’s surface, until you find the one cure that works for you and you alone.
