Acne is one skin condition that almost everyone in the world has had at some point in their life. Although acne generally hits hardest during the teenage years, most adults still suffer from acne from time to time. There are hundreds of myths surrounding what triggers acne and thousands of acne home remedies and acne medicines available with and without a prescription. Although there is no known cure for acne, you can do a pretty good job of riding yourself of acne with three easy and proven steps.

First, you need to exfoliate your skin. This can be done through exfoliating creams, acne medicines, home remedies, or even a good bathing with a loofah sponge. Exfoliating skin removes dirt, dead skin, and other impurities that add to the blocking of the skin pores.

The second step you need to take in acne treatment is unclogging your pores. Several topical acne creams can be used to unclog pores. Most of these products will contain retinoids made from Vitamin A or microbials such as Benzoyl Peroxide. These acne products will penetrate the skin and unclog the inflamed pore.

The reason why skin pores need to be unclogged or unblocked is because essentially acne is the result of a pore that has become blocked with sebum (oil) and dead skin. This blockage is complicated by bacteria growth which results in the inflammation commonly referred to as acne, zits, and pimples.

After exfoliating the skin and unclogging the pores, the last step you need to take in ridding yourself of acne is applying a deep penetrating and conditioning lotion formulated to thoroughly cleanse the skin pores as well as reduce any irritation, dryness, or redness that may have occurred during the exfoliation process. Depending on which acne treatment product you are using, this lotion may also contain some topical cleansing agent such as Benzoyl Peroxide to further medicate and cleanse the inflamed area.

By following these three easy steps (exfoliation, unclogging, and conditioning), your acne problem will be solved. It may not happen immediately, but if this process is continued over time, you will see a remarkable improvement in the health and appearance of your skin. Remember there is no known cure for acne. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t significantly limit acne’s hold on your life. Rid yourself of acne today!
