For years now we have been seeing acne remedy ads on TV that all claimed to cure acne with benzoil peroxide and the fact is that they were telling the truth, sort of. Benzoil peroxide is effective, because it wipes out acne causing bacteria on contact deep down inside the pores of the skin as well as on the skins surface.

The one thing that these ads fail to mention though is that benzoil peroxide because it is a powerful chemical, has some very drastic side effects and this is why you have seen acne sufferers that have red dry cracked skin but no acne pimples. It simply replaces one problem with another. If the benzoil peroxide treatment is stopped to address the damaged skin problem the acne comes right back immediately, because the dry cracked skin can’t protect itself from bacteria invasion.

Proactiv Solution is different from all the other acne treatments,because it was developed by two leading dermatologists that themselves had acne. It has benzoil peroxide in it, because it is the strongest acne fighting chemical that is available, but Proactiv Solution also treats the skin to counteract the harmful side effects of this active ingredient.

Acne sufferers really want their skin back to the way it was before they came down with acne not just the acne removed and replaced by dry, red cracked skin. Proactiv Solution is a three step acne treatment process that cleans and sterilizes skin while opening pores and removing dead skin cells with the first step. Also in this first step benzoil peroxide is forced down deep into the skins pores to do its job on the bacteria that dwell there.

The second step of the treatment takes place immediately afterwards and it is a total skin treatment that uses an alcohol free skin moisturizer and ph balancing agent to rescue the skin from the harmful effects of the benzoil peroxide. The third step of the treatment then treats the skin to restore its elasticity and outer glow and at the same time leaves it with an invisible micro-thin coating of bacteria zapping acne medication. The end result is dead bacteria, acne gone and great fresh great looking skin.

Meet a group of teenagers and ask them what type of skin problems they are suffering from. Most of them would answer ‘Acne’. And ask the same question to people who are in their 20’s or 30’s. The common answers would be dark lips, wrinkles and stretch marks. Let’s look at the problems one by one.

Acne is a skin disease. It may affect both males and females during their teenage. The main cause of acne is overproduction of keratin and sebum. Overly produced keratin and sebum block skin pores and Propionibacterium acnes, an anaerobic bacterium, grows their resulting Acne. If proper care is not taken acne may leave permanent black spots.

Overproduction of sebum takes place due to the hormonal changes in teenage years. Hence, some skin specialists suggest hormonal treatment for Acne. But right skin care can solve the problem easily.

Once the excess sebum is scrubbed out, the pores won’t get clogged and the bacterial won’t get the chance to infect your skin. Hence, the right acne skin care can help you get rid of acnes. Natural acne skin care is often preferred over other acne treatments.

While selecting skin treatment products one should be very careful. Skin care products should be selected based on the skin type of the individuals. The same skin care regime may not be suitable for two different persons if they possess different skin types.

Thus you need to know your skin type in order to determine the best treatment for your acne. There are basically three types of skins, the most common being the combination skin.

Common Skin Types and Natural Acne Skin Care

Oily Skin: Oily skins are typically shiny and attract dust and dirt easily. Oily skins are generally more prone to blackheads and acne hence it is suggested not to use any moisturizer but to have a good face wash and cleanser. Cleanser removes the excess oil from skin and washes off the existing dirt particles that block sebaceous glands. It is also advised to use alcohol-based products to dry out oily skin.

Dry Skin: This type of skin looks dry and peels off frequently. Dry skin is more sensitive to sun, wind and cold, where as it is less prone to acne usually. However, acne on dry skin is not uncommon at all. People with dry skin are advised to use moisturizers to lubricate their skin and avoid alcohol based products that dry out skin very fast. Use natural acne skin care that is creamy if you have a dry skin.

Combination Skin: This is the most common skin type where the oily T-zone comes into play. The T-Zone runs vertically by your nose and chin and horizontally by the forehead. Thus those having combination skin usually require combination products.

Finding the right skin treatment products is easy once you know what type of skin you have. Apart from acne treatment a regular skin care regime is also necessary to keep your skin in good health.

As mentioned in the introduction, early wrinkles, dark circles and stretch marks are some of the skin problems. People often ask whether they need to undergo plastic surgery to remove ugly stretch mark. Right stretch mark removal products can help women get rid of those ugly marks.

Regular skin care is what everybody needs. A sound skin care regime can help people stay away of all types of skin problems including acne, dark lips, wrinkles and premature aging.
