Dark SkinAnd Acne

Those of African, Latino or Indian decent have skin
pigmentation that is darker than those who are of European
decent. Treating any skin disease is often based on the color of
the skin.

Some cosmetic procedures, for example, cannot be used on skin
with dark pigmentation because it will leave light spots.

Actually acne is an equal opportunity disease. The color of the
skin has no bearing whatsoever on whether a person will have
acne.

Treating acne is based upon the type of acne it is and what the
most effective treatment options are for the particular type of
acne that is present in each patient.

Many acne medications make the skin sensitive to excessive sun
exposure.  This has nothing to do with the color of the skin.
The sensitivity is simply a side effect of the medications.

Those with darker skin complexions are not usually as prone to
sunburn as those with lighter complexions but these medications
make dark skin as susceptible to sun damage as their lighter
skin friends.

A sun blocking product with an SPF factor of at least 15 is
recommended when there will be prolonged sunlight exposure.

There is one type of acne that often afflicts only those who
are of African heritage. This type of acne is called Pomade Acne.

Pomade acne is caused by a hair care product that is designed
to straighten very curly hair.

The product has a very heavy oil base and should be kept off of
the skin as much as is possible.

The pigmentation in very dark skin can get darker after an
inflammation is cleared up.

This is called ‘post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation’….which
means increased pigmentation following inflammation.

The spots will gradually return to their normal color over time
but a dermatologist can prescribe medication which will hasten
the process.

Cosmetics and Acne

Acne! The very word strikes fear into the hearts of teenagers
all over Nigeria.

It doesnt matter much that it affects anywhere from 90% to 95%
of them, when it happens to any one of them, you would think
that they were the only kid who had ever had a zit.

Teenage boys hate acne just as much as teenage girls hate it.
Boys just suffer through it but girls turn to cosmetics to try
to hide it.

There is nothing wrong with a teenage girl or a young woman
trying to make an acne outbreak appear less noticeable. It is a
perfectly natural thing to do.

They use cosmetics anyway to enhance their appearances…make
their lips redder or more full, give their cheeks a healthy glow
and make their eyelashes appear longer so covering up a blemish
is the next logical step.

The cosmetic industry knows that covering blemishes ranks right
up there with rosy cheeks so they have developed products
designed specifically for covering up blemishes. These products
are called concealers. They come in many forms.

Some of them are in tubes like lipstick while some of them are
in bottles like other liquid make up base products and some of
them are in cake form like pressed face powder.

The one thing that all teenage girls and young women do need to
remember when they use these products is that the products need
to be thoroughly cleaned off before going to bed.

If left on the face, these products will contribute to clogging
pores and intensify the acne outbreak.

The bottom line here is that using concealer products is just
fine. If it makes you feel better about yourself, then go for it
but before you go to bed, use your facial wash.

Clean your face completely, pat it dry with a clean towel and
apply your acne fighting medications.

Acne and Basic Hygiene

Filed under: Uncategorized - Administrator @ 2:21 pm


Dirt does not cause acne. That is one of the very basic
concepts that most acne sufferers need to accept. Keeping the
face clean will help to make acne outbreaks happen less frequently and be less severe when they do happen but the fact
that your face gets dirty is not the cause of acne.

Facial cleansing is particularly important for those who are generally prone to acne, however. The facial cleansing for the
prevention of acne outbreaks and while an outbreak is in
progress needs to be in a specific fashion.

1.Wash your hands first. Is that surprising? It shouldnt be.
Your hands are about to come in contact with your face. The
first thing you need to do is scrub your hands and be sure that
your nails are clean as well.

2.The next thing that you need to do is to secure your hair
either in a hairnet, a shower cap or a headband. Pull your hair
away from your face and firmly secure it. 3.Wet your face with warm (not hot) water and apply the soap or facial cleansing product as directed on the packaging. Never use
more or less of the product than is recommended.

4.Using only your fingertips (NOT a washcloth), gently massage
the cleanser into your face. Use a circular motion and be sure
that you go all the way to the hairline. Pay particular
attention to the areas of your face where you most often see
pimple. Hard scrubbing is counterproductive. Be very gentle.

7.Allow your face to air dry for at least 15 minutes before you
apply acne medications or moisturizers.
