Acne is not only a huge problem for many, but hard to get rid of, especially when there are several treatment options that one can choose from, which are based on a variety of factors like the person’s age, skin type, and so on. Consequently, everyone reacts to certain remedies differently as opposed to others, so what may work great for one person, may cause issues for another. 

In turn, it’s always smart to start with natural steps first, before seeking out a prescribed form of treatment from a medically licensed expert. When you implement changes in your life – in order to prevent the continuation of acne – you may begin to notice certain things that were the main source of it in the first place. One example of this is if someone wears makeup every day. In doing so, this can clog their pores, and make it harder and harder for them to stumble upon results. 

However, it is not unheard of for people who struggle with acne to still wear makeup. For there are alternatives that one can look out for, such as checking the brand that they are using, and the ingredients that are used in that particular item. The reason behind this is because their skin could be reacting to that which is being applied. As a result, many will find that once they give up using certain products in favor of others – or revert to not wearing any at all – that the amount of acne that they experience will begin to decrease, and/or even disappear completely.

Another factor to take into consideration is the person’s age because that can play a role in how minor or severe their acne is. For example, “Teens get acne because of the hormonal changes that come with puberty.” Not only that but “as the body begins to mature and develop, hormones stimulate the sebaceous glands to make more sebum.” Fortunately, in most cases, aging itself serves as one of the greatest healers for many because with it comes the disappearance of acne. 

The third and final factor is a person’s skin type. Some may have naturally dry skin, but for those who have naturally oily skin, a host of problems can occur in the acne area. Clogged pores are the main issue that arises from this, which is why it is so important for one to understand their skin type so that they can make the necessary and needed changes. But if problems still arise then seeking out an expert never ceases to be the best option.
