Remember, every standard acne product has a handout,
explaining the salient features of the product, its ingredients and above all,
a warning. No acne product is meant to cause intentional harm to anyone.
Every product in the market claims a set standard of
excellence. When the market is flooded with many such products, the buyer,
rather the actual person undergoing the suffering of acne, has a double
responsibility. Firstly, to buy the correct product and secondly, to apply it
as per the directions.
If the rules regarding the later are not adhered to
properly, please note that the manufacturer has carefully worded many escape
clauses for his own legal and financial safety. For, he has to protect himself
first. Your protection from acne, is his secondary priority, strictly speaking.
This is, however, not to doubt his intentions.
Individual constitution is a new concept for the modern
mind, and acne is no exception,
The exact cause and the possible solution, will have to be
well thought off by an individual, after studying the subject acne. No doubt,
medication is an important part of the healing process, but most of the
mistakes are committed here, if you follow them without knowing the root cause
of acne. For example, wearing tight clothes is known to cause body acne by
trapping sweat. In such conditions, if you take antibiotics, the result is
bound to be unfavorable. It may even lead to side-effects.
The galaxy of acne products in the market may stun you. Skin
exfoliation products, soaps, lotions, gels, creams and much more are readily
available. Supplementation is a tricky business and is best done with
professional help. It should never be considered a substitute for sound diet,
environmental awareness and stress management.
Do not consider every type of acne a disease as such. It may
just be a temporary condition of the skin, an irritation with a definite, fixed
cycle. Let it come and go and die its natural death. Do not fear or interfere
in its working.
The totality of the circumstances contributing to acne, are
not known and will perhaps never be known. The environmental conditions vary
and the same individual may react differently in different seasons. So it is
always advisable to gain a dermatologist’s advice well before trying on to any
of the acne products.
