There are, however, a number of treatments which can
keep acne under control and prevent scarring.

What is Oily Skin, How to Treat It, and How NOT to Treat It |
|
|
1 out of every 2 teenagers has oily skin. We hear about it every
day on TV and the radio in ads for Proactive and Murad. Stars
like Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Puff Daddy, Eminem, and even
Paris Hilton all pitch various products and treatments for oily
skin. Most of these products are nothing more than a mild
benzoyl peroxide or salicylic (less than 2%) cleanser. The
reality is that when we questioned real dermatologists none
recommended these products. Their actual recommendations were:
1) skin peels and laser treatments.
2) tetracycline
3) Accutane - in severe acne cases only.
4) Doxycycline
5) Cetaphil - Every dermatologist said this was a great face
wash.
You have to remember Paris Hilton, Eminem, and Jessica Simpson
are all paid endorsers. Read the fine print. Not one of them
guarantees or stands behind the product. To properly treat oily
skin and the acne it can and usually does cause, you have to get
to the source.
Benzoyl peroxide will only affect the surface and irritate it.
Salicylic acid is a weaker acid and must be used in much
stronger strengths to be effective - lees than 10% just won't

it. What really works is treating the bacteria that are
rampant in oily skin. This is what causes acne. A
trichloroacetic acid (TCA peel) skin peel is the most effective
external treatment and now the most cost effective as it is
currently available to consumers for in home use. A TCA peel
will alter the skin pH (acidity levels) and make the conditions
unfavorable for the bacteria. TCA peels will also get rid of
excess oil, increase exfolliation, collagen production, and new
skin production - all helpful with oily skin. TCA peels are also
very effective on acne scars - an added plus. And the best thing
is there are no side effects.
Tetracycline is available by prescription only. It will kill the
bacteria, but only for as long as you keep taking it. It will
not affect the oilyness and is not effective against mild to
severe acne. It also has side effects like yellow teeth. Their
are similar antibiotics like doxycycline that have basically the
same results.
Accutane is a very drastic prescription only medication. The
side effects can be quite severe and are common. Blood tests
must be done on a weekly or monthly basis. Accutane will cease
the production of oil |

The teenage years are when acne usually starts. The body starts producing more sebum, and in turn this sebum or oil clog up the hair follicles in the skin and cause acne. The sebum is excreted from the sebaceous glands to the skin surface.
I foolishly picked up a plastic honey bear that was in a pot of boiling water, and the honey squirted out all over the palm of my hand. Immediately, I ran it under cold water, and then I ran to get your book because I knew there was something I could put on burns that was natural: MUSTARD.
Global warming, decreasing ozone layer, exposure to multiple chemicals and cosmetics, faulty lifestyles and wrong eating habits, invasive fashions and the changing human behavioural patterns has lead to multiple skin problems from minor to those of major life threatening ones.

by stopping the functionality of the
sebaceous glands. Usually this was reserved for mild to severe
acne patients. The complications are so severe there have been
numerous class action lawsuits (just watch TV or look up
Sokolove the attorneys office on the internet).
Lasers have been used in a limited capacity as they are still
too expensive and are mostly effective on thee resultant
scarring from the acne, not on the oilyness and excess sebum
production.
So, straight from real non-paid dermatologists all over the
country, one can conclude that the most effective treatment with
the least cost is TCA peels. And they are now available for home
use. Now you know how to permanently cure oily skin, treat acne,
and have beautiful skin from a real dermatologists perspective.
Don't be misled by a highly compensated endorser like Paris
Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Eminem, Puff Daddy, etc...
