Follow directions. Over-the-counter-products can help you control acne and they contain ingredients that can stop acne before it becomes severe. Ointments, gels and powders containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and retinoids can help dry out pimples. However, follow the directions printed on the box. If used in larger dosages than necessary, it can cause scaling, burning and stinging and severe dryness which can only aggravate acne instead of helping ease it. Your doctor might also prescribe antibiotics to reduce the number of bacteria as well as speed up the healing process of the open pimples preventing scarring in the process.
The real acne causes are the build up of dead skin cells inside the pore, excess skin oil called sebum and acne causing bacteria. These three are not factors triggered by the food that we eat. Excessive production of sebum is often caused by overactive sebaceous glands which is common among teenagers. Oily skin is not necessarily a problem. In fact, if you have oily skin you are less likely prone to crows feet and wrinkling since oil helps keep moisture locked into the epidermis. You just need to make sure you make a habit of cleansing your skin with mild cleanser. In most cases the tendency to oily skin is hereditary. If your parents have oily skin and had acne problems during their younger years, you probably got it from them.
