Now more than ever, people seem to be looking for safe, natural and effective ways to treat anything that ails them, from pain to digestive troubles to addressing their skincare needs, but how does a natural acne solution really work?
In order to understand how acne can be treated, it’s important to become familiar with how acne works in the first place. Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States, and affects people of all ages. It is usually the result of a hormonal imbalance, which goes on to affect the sebaceous glands. These glands produce sebum, or oil, which travels along the hair follicle, or pore, to protect and nourish the skin. Some imbalanced hormones can trigger the sebaceous glands to produce more sebum than necessary, which become clogged within the pore on its way to the surface. When combined with dead skin cells, bacteria forms, which sparks an inflammatory reaction, resulting in symptoms called pimples.
Although acne is known to affect all types of people regardless of age, sex or race, there are different types of acne that affect certain people specifically, and can all be classified as either inflammatory or anti-inflammatory. Certain acne types are generally harder to treat than others, especially the adult and cystic varieties.
In order to begin an effective acne solution for your skin, learn your acne type now to take charge of your treatment. The most effective way to go about doing this is by implementing a combination of approaches, targeting the problem from within, and taking care to practice proper hygiene with topical treatments on the surface. AcnEase works internally to treat the problem at its source, and here are five reasons why it’s so effective!
