Acne problem occurs when sebaceous (oil) glands attached to
the hair follicles are stimulated. Associated with increased oil production is
a change in the manner in which the skin cells mature, predisposing them to
clog the follicular pore. The clog can appear as a “whitehead” if it is covered
by a thin layer of skin, or “blackhead” if exposed to the air – the darker
exposed portion of the plug is called a “blackhead”. Pimples or tender red bumps on the face are
another form of mild acne. Blackheads are oxidized oil, not dirt.
Reasons: The main
reasons leading to the formation of blemishes are :
1)Hormonal activity (primarily from androgens, male
hormones); 2 Inflammation; 3)Overproduction of oil by the sebaceous (oil)
gland; 4)Irregular or excessive shedding of dead skin cells; 5) Buildup of
bacteria in the pores, leading to inflammation; and 6) Sensitive reactions to
makeup, irritating skin-care ingredients, allergies or medicines.
What you shouldn’t do:
1)Do not use harsh or irritating
skin-care products; always treat them gently.
2)Do not wash face with bar soaps or
bar cleansers. Soaps contain sulfate and have drying effect, besides, the
ingredients that hold bar soaps form clog pores.
3)Do not pick at blemishes! You can “pop”
a pimple, but how you do it makes all the difference between healing and
scarring. It can lead to unsightly scabs, which turn into scars that are hard to
heal.
4)Do not use extreme heat or cold to
clean face, or to treat a blemish. Hot compresses or ice cubes are not the way
to treat acne, or to encourage healing; they cause inflammation.
5)Do not apply thick, waxy
hair-styling products, or hairspray, especially if your hair usually touches forehead
- the ingredients in these products
could clog pores if they get on skin.

A couple of months earlier, FDA issued a warning that popular acne
products sold over-the-counter under brand names such as Proactiv and
Neutrogena can cause rare but serious and potentially life-threatening allergic
reactions. The FDA advised consumers to stop using their topical acne products
and seek emergency medical help if they experience hypersensitivity reactions
such as throat tightness, difficulty in breathing, feeling faint or swelling of
the eyes, face, lips or tongue.
According to the agency, non-prescription
acne products containing the active ingredients benzoyl peroxide or salicylic
acid are of concern. It added that non-prescription products containing the
active ingredients benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid and marketed under brands
such as Proactiv, Neutrogena, MaxClarity, Oxy, Ambi, Aveeno and Clean &
Clear, as well as store brands, were of concern. The agency said it had
received 131 reports of such hypersensitivity reactions from consumers or
manufacturers, most of these were received since 2012.
HERBALLY RADIANT has been warning its customers that many
commonly marketed cosmetic products, which tend to clog pores, may cause and
worsen acne, such as those containing iodides, bromides, or oral or injected
steroids (Orasone, Prednicen-M, Liquid Pred), or the steroids that are taken
for muscle building.
