It is said that 50 is the youth of old age!
Therefore, beware, you are likely to confront some of the problems that
you encountered as a young lad! Do not tell the youngster sitting next
to you, undergoing the torment of an acne attack, that it was such a
casual problem for you, when you had it, even though it was not! You may
have a second attack of acne (precisely speaking acne rosacea) soon! It
might have reached the top-most layer of your skin!
Conquering acne is an ongoing process. It should be the part of
your daily life, just like brushing the teeth, or going to the saloon
for a hair-cut! Never rest, by thinking that acne is the thing of the
past for you- that stage is gone!
What causes rosacea? Nothing is
definitely known. But something can be said about it authoritatively.
Those who had acne agony in their youthful time, will in all
probability, may have to go through that experience again in their later
years. If you have a family history of rosacea, your troubles are
compounded. It has something to do with your ethnic background also.
As
indicated earlier, you can save yourself of scratching from the agony of
itchiness, if you are, I will not say figure-consciousness, rather
health-consciousness. What could be the indications of the oncoming
second attack of acne? Dry, rough, scaly skin, wrinkling, itching, loss
of elasticity of the skin, premature aging, enlarged pores, irregular
sebaceous gland production, dandruff, split/peeling nails, poor
night-vision, burning and itching eyes, thickening of cornea, skin slow
to heal and grow and many others.
Herbal masks could be one of the best anti-acne treatment. The
formulations of the herbal masks should be appropriate to the type of
your skin, and judging this is not a big problem. Any dermatologist will
assist you in determining it. There are many types of masks, but
basically their action fall into three categories. They extract dirt
from deep in the skin, preventing or eliminating blackheads and acne.
They nourish by providing vitamins and minerals and rejuvenate by
refining pores, healing scarring, evening out the color tone, soothing
and moisturizing the skin. They can also stimulate the deepest layer of
the skin to make healthy new growth.
Some skins
have allergenic reactions. If you have any kind of skin problem, all
soaps should be avoided. Soap destroys the natural protective mantle of
the skin and removes beneficial bacteria, allowing those that cause odor
and infections to proliferate.
So, do not worry much about acne
rosacea. Come on, you had already have faced such a situation in life
before, though the nomenclature was different! Therefore, be confident.
But not so confident, to ignore your dermatologist, altogether! Do
consult him, if you have the first symptoms of rosacea, in spite of all
the precautions that you took!
