Preventing Acne

We all want a smooth, clear complexion. But when pimples start to appear on our skin, the desire to pick at them is understandable. But this may cause short and long-term problems, such as persistent redness and scarring. Scars can be seen as indentations or pock marks in the skin. It has only recently been recognized that scars can develop from small as well as large pimples. Picking at clogged pores can also result in scarring. The best treatment for acne scarring is not picking or popping the pimples in the first place. That is, preventing the acne or at least treating it early and avoiding picking or squeezing pimples.
To treat acne and prevent new scars from forming, you should:
• Clean your face at least two times daily, in the morning when you get up and in the evening before bed. Use high quality skin care products.
• The new products available on the market today are very effective. Choose an acne treatment and use it according to instructions.
• We recommend the following product Healthy Pores to assist you in your fight against acne.

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion has taken skincare professionals in the United States by storm over the last few years, and was used several years prior to that in Europe. The method is to remove several top layers of skin using sterile aluminum oxide crystals delivered under pressure and vacuumed through a hand piece, much like a miniature sand blasting. The conditions currently being treated with this procedure include clogged pores, fine wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, and splotchy pigmentation. All this while

The in office treatments combine light chemical peels, using either glycolic or salicylic acid. This method seems to improve the results achieved. A series of treatments is necessary in order to achieve full benefits; each treatment takes about 45 minutes to one hour, and makeup can be applied immediately following the procedure.

These in office treatments are very successful but also VERY EXPENSIVE! Now these same results are being seen in products available for home use. Most women utilizing at home Microdermabrasion products for just one week saw an improvement in skin texture, a marked reduction in the appearance of their fine lines, and pores looked noticeably smaller all for just the fraction of the price of a visit to the dermatologist.

Things to look for in a Microdermabrasion product:
• Clinically tested to insure it will not irritate the skin
• Fragrance Free
• Oil free
• Non-comedogenic (will not block pores)
