Causes of Acne?
The exact cause of acne is unknown, several related factors are:
§ Hormonal activity supposed to be responsible, such as menstrual
cycles and puberty.
§ Increase in hormones called androgens (male sex hormones), which
causes sebaceous glands to enlarge and make more sebum.
§ Hormonal changes related to pregnancy can also cause acne.
§ Another factor is heredity or genetics. Researchers believe that
the tendency to develop acne can be inherited from parents. For example,
studies have shown that many school-age boys with acne have a family history of
the disorder.
§ Accumulation of dead skin cell.
§ Bacteria in the pores, to which body becomes allergic.
§ Skin irritation or scratching of any sort will active the
inflammation.
§ Starting or stopping birth control pills.
§ Heredity (if your parents had acne, you might get it too).
§ Some types of medicine.
§ Greasy makeup.
In some patients, contributing factors may be:
Pressure: In some patients,
pressure from helmets, chinstraps, collars, and the like can aggravate acne.
Drugs: Some medications may
cause or worsen acne, such as those containing iodides, bromides, or oral or
injected steroids (either the medically prescribed prednisone or the steroids
bodybuilders or athletes take.) Most cases of acne, however, are not drug-related.
Occupations: In some jobs, exposure to industrial products like cutting oils may produce acne.
Patho-physiology of Acne
1. Excessive secretion of oils from the sebaceous glands
accompanies the plugging of the pores with naturally occurring dead skin cells
(corneocytes) blocking hair follicles.
2.The accumulation of these corneocytes in the duct appears to be
due to a failure of the normal keratinization process in the skin which usually
leads to shedding of skin cells lining the pores.
3. Oil secretions are said to build up beneath the blocked pore,
providing a perfect environment for the skin bacteria Propionibacterium acnes
and the lipophilic (oil/lipid-loving) yeast Malassezia to multiply
uncontrollably.
4.Under the microscope, however there is no evidence of pooled
trapped sebum. Indeed the oil perolates through the plugged duct onto the
surface.
5.In response to the bacterial and yeast populations, the skin
inflames, producing the vision lesion.
6. The face, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms are especially
affected.
To
prevent the above symptom to produce on
your face and other part you may use some
important home treatment for stop the above recurrence.
(1) Keeping chromium contents in your diets will ensure the acne to decrease. Chromium is good diet decrease nutrition.
(2) You should also wash your pillow cover every alternate day. Pillow absorbs the oil from the skin, and it reapplies, on your face which makes all the things meaningless. It is best natural acne treatment.
(3) Inclusion of beta carotene( Reddish, carrot etc.) in your diet is a good sign for decreasing spots. That is consumption of carrots.
(4) Your spots will decrease if you apply a honey mask on your face. You can repeat this procedure once or twice in a week. Honey is also very temperate on delicate skin.
(5) Another way to cure spots is you wash your face with an acne soap specially designed for acne. You must wash the face twice a day. That is one in morning and one in evening.
(6) Keeping your hair away from your face will help your spots to get rid earlier, as hair contains oils.

NATURAL MANAGEMENT OF BODY & FACE
Lemon Juice & Tomato
·
Lemon is a natural skin bleaching agent. Applying the juice of a
fresh lemon to clean skin is an effective method for lightening the scars that
result from acne. This method, however, will not be useful with a lemon
product, such as artificial lemon juice. In addition, those who attempt this
remedy may experience drying of the skin where the lemon has been applied
because of the acidic nature of the fruit. Another fruit that might be
effective for healing acne scars is tomato. The antioxidants and vitamin A in
tomatoes could benefit the skin. To utilize this method, apply a slice of
tomato to freshly cleansed skin for several minutes each night.
Recipes

Many recipes for facial cleansing, facial peels and moisturizing
creams contain products that could be available in your kitchen pantry.
·
Coarse coffee grounds can be used to exfoliate the skin, while
natural yogurt can be used to add moisture.

To treat acne scars, apply a
mixture of ground nutmeg and milk to the scar. Experimenting with such recipes
can be an inexpensive, natural way to treat the skin.
