Cure Face Blemish

Acne, allergies, sun damage and improper cleaning commonly cause face blemishes. Although there are a lot of effective over-the counter topical application treatments and drugs, not everyone can use or take it due to medical concerns, too. As the old saying goes "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" so, how and what do we need to do to avoid, treat and maintain a blemish free face? These questions will be answered in this article.

The face blemish can be caused by the following reasons. Whiteheads and blackheads commonly affect most of us. The usual cause of this is trapped dirt and improper facial cleaning.

The frequent use of make-up or foundation causes pores to be clogged. It is advisable to get regular facials to unclog the pores and prevent a face blemish like whiteheads. You can do this at home by making your own facial steamer or you can purchase a facial steamer device.

There are other treatments that can be done in a dermatologist's office. Your skin doctor will usually prescribe topical creams or an antibiotic that contains benzoyl peroxide, salicylic or glycolic acids which have a mild exfoliating effect to buff away dead skin cells and open closed pores so your whiteheads come out without the need to prick and squeeze which may lead to infections. This is a common cause of scarring.

Avoid touching or pricking your face blemish to avoid making the condition worse as this will result in blemished facial skin. Facial steaming at home helps to open the pores, which helps, especially the blackheads to come out. Blackheads are usually deep seated that is why it is a big no-no to try and squeeze them out. Pimples or acne that is about to swell causes reddish inflammation prompting us to try and squeeze it. Never do this to a fresh zit, as you will be in danger of bruising the surrounding skin and will cause scarring and blemishes and take a lot longer to heal.

Use a pimple drying formula or clay mask to draw out impurities. If you really need to cover the facial blemish, you may apply a concealer. Make sure that it is oil free or else it may aggravate your breakout even further.

Usually these red bumps get infected when you try to squeeze or pick them and it can develop into cystic acne real fast. This type of acne leaves dark spots and pits in your skin. Consult your dermatologist if you have acne prone skin. Antibiotic treatment is usually prescribed for this, so do not waste your money trying the newest line of skin treatment being advertised and displayed in beauty sections of your favorite department store. Some products may also cause a face blemish especially if the product and its formulation are not suited for your skin type.

There are other reasons pimples can sometimes be cystic or appear in clusters of small spots. Using heavy creams that does not allow your skin to breathe is usually the cause. Always remember, especially if you are in a tropical part of the world, or when humidity is high, it is always best to choose moisturizers and make-up that don't clog the pores. These are products that are oil-free or water based and is perfect for sensitive skin. One of the worst things you can do it rest your hands on your face. Avoid touching your face, especially if you're unsure you have clean hands. Although there are plenty of over-the-counter drugs and topical formulas, you might save more if you would consider seeing a certified dermatologist about your face blemish. This way, your skin problem can be properly diagnosed and you will be given the right treatment for your facial blemishes.

Diet also plays a big part in keeping your skin clean and clear of the face blemish. Make sure that you eat a well-balanced diet; it has been proven that oily foods tend to make our skin prone to acne. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day is also good for the skin as it flushes out body toxins. The bottom line here is to keep your system clean so that your skin stays healthy and free from breakouts as this is the primary reason that contributes to uneven skin tone. Facial blemish removal does not have to be a difficult process to go through. If you make some simple changes you will see some drastic results. If your blemishes are way out of control it is always best to see a dermatologist or nutritionist to get it solved. You may have to sacrifice by making lifestyle changes that other people do not understand, but could greatly improve your health. So, for a blemish free face-cleanse well, eat well and live well. That should be your mantra to handle the face blemish.
