The problem is, these treatments simply dont work and are often overused to the point skin tissue experiences abuse, causing severe inflammation. And inflammation is the root cause of most skin problems! I find many skin conditions actually are aggravated by the use of these over-the-counter treatments.

Heres the bottom line: Find a skin care line or product that works for you. Have your skin analyzed by a Board Certified Cosmetic Dermatologist who can recommend the best treatment protocol for your unique skin care needs. Make sure your home skin care regimen includes medical grade products. I, for one, cant live without my DNA repair cream – this revolutionary product repairs the skins DNA so that it is able to self-heal. Its a must-have for all skin types. There is no substitute for medical microdermabrasion.

Dont waste your money on products available at the mall or drug store. To date, no product exists delivering the kind of results seen with medical microdermabrasion. Be sure you are receiving a safe treatment with state-of-the-art technology (like our Crystal Free equipment) operated by a trained and experienced professional. Only a Board Certified Cosmetic Dermatologist will understand your skins needs and recommend the best treatment options for you.

Microdermabrasion addresses many skin conditions in as little as 6-8 sessions including:

bMiracle 1: The Healing Gel/b

Aloe vera is a lopsided, spiny succulent that holds a natural pharmacy of skin-care nutrients. Keep this plant on your windowsill and scoop the soothing gel from its leaves to bring almost instant relief from sunburns, household burns, and scrapes. It is an amazing healer, an anti-inflammatory, and a cell-growth promoting herb. Aloe vera contains an alphabet of vitamins, including B12, which is rarely found in plants. Aloe vera also provides 20 of the 22 amino acids and seven of the eight amino acids the body requires. It is a traditional healing herb in India, Hawaii, and all countries where it is indigenous. Anecdotal tales of its health benefits date back to pre-Egyptian times. Modern-day studies continue to reveal the healing power of this gelatinous wonder. Aloe can be used topically as well as internally to detoxify and rejuvenate from the inside out-try drinking one-quarter cup (60 mL) of aloe juice three times per week.

bMiracle 2: Petal Soft and Soothing/b

Stress and the pollutants we encounter every day are the cause of fine lines and wrinkles. Camomile creams, rich in levomenol, help to improve skin texture and reduce signs of aging. Camomile soothes and heals rashes, scrapes, and wounds. The volatile oil of camomile reduces inflammation, stimulates tissue healing, moisturizes, and refreshes. As an effective antiseptic it should be included in every home first-aid kit. How one pretty little plant can offer such a range of healing power is one of natures miracles. People with dry skin may benefit from drinking a cup of camomile tea every day. To refresh tired skin, do a camomile steam: simmer three handfuls of dried camomile in three litres of water for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let the steam rise to your face for 15 minutes. Camomile-even the name is gentle.

bMiracle 3: Australias Gift to Skin Care/b

Tea tree oil is the skin-care lotion for troubled times. Traditionally used by aboriginal tribes of Australia, the properties of this plant seem endless: antiseptic, antifungal, antiviral, anti-inflammatory-the list goes on. Tea tree oil helps heal broken skin, fights infection, and encourages healing by forming new tissue. Dry cracked lips respond readily to lip salve containing tea tree oil. Try adding a drop of tea tree oil to your regular moisturizer for added healing and toning benefits.

bMiracle 4: Exfoliating Foods/b

Apples, grapes, milk, and yogourt not only make a healthy breakfast, they are the source of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). These food-based acids are the skin cleansers of the cosmetics industry, and are used in many skin creams, lotions, and facial masks. AHAs safely and gently remove greyish dead cells from the surface of the skin, revealing a fresh, healthy complexion. AHAs are the miracle rejuvenators. Its easy to make an AHA mask or scrub with everyday kitchen items-combine yogourt with a bit of honey and some mashed fruit, such as strawberries. Slop on your face and leave for 10 minutes, then rinse. Following exfoliation with AHAs, the skin is susceptible to sunburn; a sunscreen should be used even on a cloudy day.

bMiracle 5: Silica for Smooth, Silky Skin/b

Horsetail is never welcomed by gardeners, but dont expect to get rid of it soon. This plant is a member of the iEquisetaceae/i family, which formed the primitive forests that covered the earth millions of years ago. Horsetail is one of the plants richest in silica, which is essential for strong cell structure. Collagen supplements containing horsetail bring strength and elasticity to skin tissue. Silica is available as a liquid supplement and in tablet form. Shampoos and moisturizers containing silica are less effective because silica is difficult to absorb through the skin.

If you ask an acne patient who for many years, has used a vast range of topical acne treatments in the hope of finding one that successfully got rid of all the acne spots on her face fully and consistently, whether or not she managed to find one… you can bet that her answer will be, “No I didn’t”.

Millions of people all over the world break out with acne spots. Unfortunately, only a very small proportion of them “luckily” get to meet somebody who points them in the direction of finding a good quality acne treatment. A topical cream that contains powerful natural and synthetic ingredients that are put together in the right mix to make a formulation that has the ability to effectiely free up some space in the follicular openings in the epidermal layer of their skin. A cream that then allows trapped oily sebum to flow out easily, which in turn, dramatically leaves their skin looking clearer, smoother, tougher, younger, and enviable. A product that does this well… in fact, very well.

It’s important to note that your skin is made up of several layers, and we are concerned with the stratum corneum (which is in actual fact the upper layer of the epidermal layer), the remainder of the epidermal layer itself, and the dermis which lies beneath the epidermis. Why note this? Because hyperstimulation of the sebaceous glands in response to a surge in androgenic hormones is what starts everything off, and this happens in the dermis. Also, many of the pronounced comedones form here. As far as the epidermis and stratum corneum are concerned, these layers are full of Propionibacterium Acnes, dirt, debris, and dead skin cells. You need to get rid of these to make it easy to unblock the plugged follicles in the dermis. The most efficient way to achieve this is by the process of “abrasion”, “sloughing”, or exfoliation, which all mean the same thing really.

My intention here is to talk about specific ingredients that go inside ance treatments that are topically applied, and why such ingredients set the treatments that they are found in, apart from the money wasters. The below average treatments that are merely adequate for people who break out with the mildest form of acne. The type where they break out with one little tiny red spot once in a blue moon. And this is certainly not the case with somebody with large prominent pimples.

If you fit in this latter category of people and would like to know what pioneering skincare experts include in their cosmetic products to bring them to a standard where the formulation is able to effectively get rid of such spots, then here are some pointers for you to follow before you purchase your next acne treatment. This is a list of the most effective, and widely used ingredients in good cosmetic products that will bring about a marginal improvement in your complexion:

1. Glycolic Acid – This is number one on the list for a good reason, and that reason is, that it is one of the most powerful and effective exfoliants in the industry. Glycolic acid penetrates your skin, frees plugged pores and follicles, and does this job well. I would suggest that you end your frustrations with benzoyl peroxide and move onto this ingredient soon.

Glycolic acid is classified as an “alpha hydroxy acid” (AHA). It is a naturally occuring chemical found in sugar cane. There are others – namely lactic acid, citric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid. These are all less potent than glycolic acid, but they are now all found together in home chemical peel kits. Start using a glycolic acid face wash or moisturizer as soon as possible – a 5% concentration would be good to begin with.

2. Glycolic Compound – There are skin care products in the “chemical peeling” market that consist of high strength glycolic acid, typically 20-70%. These contain something called “glycolic compound” – a pH-balanced complex of glycolic acid and ammonium glycolate. You will find this compound has helped several people achieve excellent results with their skin problems, particularly acne. MD Formulations and MD Forte are top brands that have released lotions, creams, and gels containing this ingredient.

3. Salicylic Acid – Also known as “beta hydroxy acid” and the only one. This is usually found as a 2% concentration in most skincare products. Its mode of action is similar to glycolic acid in that it causes skin cells to slough off. Salicylic acid is a good choice if you get mild to moderate breakouts.

4. Ferulic Acid – This is commonly found in anti-aging products because of it antioxidant properties. Your skin is undergoing constant oxidation. It is being oxidized by free radicals, other
environmental pollutants, and the UV rays from the sun. You may think this to be inappropriate for your acne condition, but antioxidants stop oxidation, and this helps to prevent pre-existing scars and lines from advancing further. Antioxidants also help post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation which is a problem that many acne patients get. There are many antioxidants out there, but this one is good and it’s widely used in brands like Skinceuticals, Murad, and Dr. Michelle Copeland.

The point to note here is that acne treatments “treat” through different modes of action – exfoliation, dermabrasion, and anti-bacterial action for example. But then there are others which work to “protect” and this is what antioxidants do, so these can prove to be very effective, especially in adult acne. Overall, anti-oxidants are great at improving the integrity of your skin. They give it the radiacne and the glowing effect that you’re looking for.

5. Idebenone – Take the time to visit http://Prevageskin.co.uk and here you can read about idebenone. I have chosen this product to demonstrate the importance of stopping your skin from oxidizing.

Idebenone is an analogue of another anti-oxidant called Co-enzyme Q10. This will make an expensive, but a potent free radical quencher.

6. Ascorbyl palmitate – You will find this in the famous Jan Marini C-ESTA products. It is the fat-soluble form of vitamin C, another antioxidant. This synthetic compound was made fat-soluble to improve its absorption through the skin. Water-soluble products don’t penetrate the skin as well as lipid-soluble ones. Again, this one is great for tightening up contours around scarred regions in the T-Zone area, particularly around the nose.

So what I’ve tried to do here is to give you a good range of products like glycolic acid and other alpha hydroxy acids that unplug your hair follicles and allow oil and debris to flow out from under your skin, as well as powerful antioxidants n the current market that improve the overall integrity of your skin by giving it shine, glow, and make it less bumpy and more smooth.

It’s very easy to get wrapped up in the habit of sticking to prescribed antibiotics, or OTC treatments for mild acne and end up frustrated having realized that they don’t work, and sometimes even make your acne worse. If this is happening to you, start branching out by discovering more advanced treatments that contain the ingredients discussed herein, and you never know… a breakthrough in finding a treatment that works wonders for you may be just weeks away.

Acne is one of the most commonly faced problems by teenagers as well as adults. If not treated it may result in emotional as well as physical scarring. Acne treatment depends on ones skin type, because everyone’s skin is different. What works for one person may result in worsening the condition when used on another. It is very important to know if your skin is oily, normal or dry, or if it is a combination skin. Gels can be used by people with normal or oily skin as it doesn’t help moisturize the skin and if used by people with dry skin, it will further dry the skin. Some of these gels do contain glycerin and dimethicone which improve the moisturizing effect. Gels have been proven very effective in treating moderate to moderately severe acne conditions. They are said to act deep into the pores and ranks high in safety, efficacy and tolerance. Some bio-skincare products use enzymes that dissolve dead skins and prevent blocking of pores, renewal activators that help cell growth hence help in the healing of acne lesions and antibacterial substances that keep a check on bacterial growth. These are used to treat mild to moderate acne. Gels are designed to unclog pores and reduce breakouts. Some also deal with pustules, whiteheads and blackheads. Daily use of gels, reduce open pores and hence reduce the chances dirt and oil from getting clogged in them, effectively reducing acne. Gels that treat adult acne contain ingredients such as sulfur, salicylic acid, tea tree oil, benzoyl peroxide, Vitamin E, aloe vera, zinc etc. People with acne should avoid products that contain lanolin and oil as these will aggravate the acne. Gels with natural products such as aloe vera are more popular among people who prefer herbal products. Aloe Vera is used in many cosmetic products as it is a safe ingredient. Aloe gels provide a mask against pollution and dust and help the skin to protect. It also helps to reduce old scars, and known for its calming effects for people with irritated and inflamed skin. Gels are of course not the only acne treatments, and it happens that some people don’t tolerate them, or just don’t like using them. For people with dry skin, if gels are not a solution for you, don’t worry. There are many acne treatment kits made for dry skin that include lotions and moisturizing cream, that will give your complexion a brighter look, and a softer touch. This would also be interesting to check natural and herbal skin care supplements. These supplements are making a difference on other common acne treatments. They indeed rebalance your hormonal levels that are, inside your body, causing acne on the outside.
