Adult Acne Itches

Itchy, acne prone skin. Help!!?


Ok. First of all, my skin itches like crazy every time I have makeup on and I get too hot (I'm thinking maybe I'm allergic to this makeup, but it is Bare Minerals, and it is suppossed to be hypoallergenic). I also have a fairly bad case of adult acne. I've been to the dermatologist and used every over the counter product....nothing seems to work! Does anyone know of any makeup that would be good for me to use? Help!!

Unfortunately, hypoallergenic doesn't mean it is for everyone. It certainly sounds like an allergy, which could be the source of your adult acne. Are you using a moisturizer, or scented soap that could be causing the acne?
Pro-active didn't work for me, it really didn't change anything (I used it faithfully by-the-book for 2 1/2 months).
I've spent thousands on makeup and cleansers and creams, but most products made it worse.
I finally tamed my adult acne down by using Dove soap for a cleanser (sensitive skin or the green aloe vera kind). I don't use a moisturizer, it just makes the acne worse. I let my skin air dry and I don't wear makeup.
I know most women would never think of not wearing makeup, but I didn't find it a good trade off. The blemishes just don't cover properly, and the itching was driving me nuts!
You might be surprised at how good you can look with groomed eyebrows, a bit of mascara and some colored lip gloss.
Your skin may take almost a month to recover from the makeup and the blemishes to subside, but I found the pay-off was worth it.
I've actually gotten compliments about my 'makeup' and inquiries as to how I accomplished the 'natural' look.
Good luck!

Treatment of Acne Scars

Acne is the condition of sebaceous glands. These glands are attached to the hair follicles. They produce an oily substance called sebum. Pathogenic events in sebaceous glands are believed to be due in large degree to change the levels of male hormones in human body. This is usually connected with the growth and development that occurs between the ages of 12 and 21. Acne can however occur even in adulthood.

The clogged skin pores, pimples and deep-seated cystic or nodular lumps, all symptoms of acne occur usually on face, neck, chest, back, shoulder and upper arms. Acne is common during puberty or during hormonal fluctuations as over productive oil glands and clogged pores are the main reasons behind the skin lesions.

Due to dirt and dust glandular oil cannot escape, as a result there is swelling in the area leading to skin lesions. Some lesions might resemble acne. One such skin condition is called folliculitis that requires different treatment than acne. If there are multiple recurrences it is difficult to treat.

Acne can manifest itself in different forms of skin disorder like blackheads, whiteheads and most common forms of acne scars. These may be severe with bacterial infection like raised papule or hardened nodule or even pus filled in them.

The best way to take care of skin is to go slow on the makeup and remove the marks of makeup before going to sleep. Pricking a pimple might lead to scar and possibly lead to further infection.

Benzoyl Peroxide is a highly recommended over the counter medicine for acne. Vitamin A based tretinoin and adapalene are also considered to be effective. Benzoyl Peroxide gently exfoliates the skin and prevents bacterial infection.

Some creams might have drying and itching effect and so it is wise to use them in low dose. Isotretinoin is best to use in case of severe nodular and cystic ones. However, recent research has proved that it causes birth defects if taken during pregnancy and has been linked to certain side-effects like psychological ailments, depression and even suicidal streaks. During advanced cases oral antibiotics can work well. It should be accompanied by strict medical supervision. The TCA Peel is the safest, best and also has no side-effects. This peel also works towards making the skin radiantly supple and thus imparts a younger look. Since it is difficult to treat adult acne one should consult a dermatologist without delay when it first appears during adulthood.

Dietary supplements like Acuzine includes ingredients like anti-oxidants, vitamins E and C hydrolyzed collagen, ALA, DMAE, aloe vera , bioperine etc which help in the early recovery of skin and also provide vitamins for rebuilding the skin.
