Acne Cleansers Renew Your Skin

Acne cleansers are required to remove excess oils, ,dead skin cells, even bacteria from your skin.

Acne is all about oily skin. As you probably already know, at puberty your body starts to produce hormones like testosterone. And it’s testosterone that affects the oil producing sebaceous glands.

These glands become enlarged and start producing excess sebum, or skin oil. This oil emerges onto the surface of your skin through your pores. It’s this excess skin oil, mixed with tiny dead skin cells that clump together to plug up your pores and create acne blemishes.The most important step to deal with and prevent acne is to cleanse your skin of this excess oil. This will help prevent clumping of skin cells and the blockage of the pores.

Twice a Day Acne Cleansers

Since it takes days for a blocked pore to become noticeable, you have to be vigilant and cleanse your skin regularity. Most people suggest twice a day cleansing.

Since your skin is always undergoing renewal, dead skin cells are being replace by new skin cells. It’s these tiny dead skin cells that become mired in the excess sebum and become the plugs that block up your pores. So, removing dead skin cells, or exfoliation, is another important aspect of the cleansing process.

Next, your skin plays host to bacteria. There is bacteria everywhere. In the air, on your hands, on your hair. On your clothes. Practically everything your skin comes in contact with has bacteria. When this bacteria gets into your pores it can infect the pore and any cells near the pore. This infection, left untreated can result in a large, hot, acne pustule or even a cyst.

The three step “formula” to treat and prevent acne is to wash or clean your skin of excess oils. Apply an anti-bacterial solution to kill bacteria on the surface and in pores. And, application of an exfoliant that helps remove dead skin cells.

Each step is performed individually and your skin is allowed to dry between the steps. This process normally takes half an hour to three quarter of an hour.

Since bacteria like an alkaline environment, non-alkaline soaps or cleansers, like Cetaphil Cleanser, are usually recommended. The typically recommended anti-bacterial application is an over-the-counter gel preparation of benzoyl peroxide. This liberates oxygen that helps kill bacterial. Another over-the-counter gel preparation of salicylic acid is often recommended as an exfoliant. The sequential use of these products comprise the 1-2-3 step process.
