Acne is one of the most common complexion problems and it inevitably affects everyone’s life at a certain moment. It can appear at any age, although teenagers are the most affected by it as it can cause them anxiety and disturbance. Acne is a skin inflammation that generates the appearance of pimples and black points. Acne appears from an extra secretion of the sebum glands and is present especially at teenagers. Dehydration and sebum can cause the close of pores creating the proper environment for food, stress and hygiene have a small contribution to acne appearance. Feminine hormones can cause it’s appearance during the period or during pregnancy.
How to get rid of acne? Here are some tips which might help you win the “battle” with acne.
1. A careful wash is important although too much can irritate pimples causing further infection.
2. Use a gentle shower gel or a special soap created for acne problems.
3. Exfoliation is also important as it removes the death skin layers. After cleaning the face with a delicate soap use an exfoliating mask at least once or two / week. It helps you reduce the death skin cells and clean the pores.
4. In order to avoid a possible pore reloading it is recommended using cosmetic products that don’t contain oil. In order to avoid having a dry skin use tonic lotions. And be careful also to hair products which tend to contain a lot of oil also.
5. Use everyday different towels and clean the complexion from perspiration.
6. Wash your hair at least twice / week using special oily hair shampoo.
7. Don’t press or pinch pimples.
8. If you are desperate and you see that nothing helps you, go to the doctor’s and ask for special products to treat acne. He will surely recommend the best of them.
9. Avoid as much as possible eating chocolate or drinking coffee. The food must not be very spicy. Fast-food, snacks, sweets or cereals are not recommended by doctors. Instead of these eat a lot of fruits and vegetables.
10. Avoid as much as you can tight clothes or humid places.

My daughter was scratching her pimples and as a result got an infection and now as Impetego which I had to get an ointment for. any suggestions on cleaning the area, just antibacterial soap and water will that do?
Hello Lucy! Impetigo is usually treated by using antibiotics, but a doctor can prescribe them only after a detailed control. If it’s not a severe form of Impetigo, (as I think it’s your daughter’s case, from what you’ve written me) he usually prescribes an antibiotics salve. Remember! When cleaning the area, be careful and use the towels only once and after that wash them carefully. Impetigo can extend very easily to other parts of the skin. If the doctor prescribes a salve, the infected area must be washed at least twice / day before using the salve. If a crust is formed, you should dip the wounds with warm water for 15 minutes and after that easily remove them by using a soft rag. Finally, wipe the area out to dry the injuries. The problem should be solved in 3-4 days.
