How to get rid of acne

Skin Talk with Donita

You can’t cure acne but you CAN have clear skin if you know what you are doing. There are a few key concepts that you need to know to get your skin clear and get rid of acne.

1. You need to use the right acne products for your type of acne. A product that is good for inflamed acne (pimples, pustules and cysts) will not be good for non-inflamed acne (blackheads and whiteheads).

2. You need these products to be strong enough for your type of skin. If they are not, your skin will not change much. If they are too strong, you will irritate and dehydrate your skin, and you will still break out.

3. You need to use these products in the right way. It takes strong products to get acne under control, but if you use too much, too soon, you will irritate and dehydrate your skin. You must start slowly with strong products.

4. You need to account for the ability of the skin to adapt. This means you cannot let your skin get “too used” to products. If you do, then your skin will stop responding and not clear. The skin care regimen must be adjusted routinely.

Does all this sound like tricky business? Yes, no doubt it is!
