There is no other tale as deep-rooted in human race as the fairytale about the brave knight that comes to rescue the fair maiden. It is an epic tale that feeds our fantasies of perfection. Of owning a beauty so admirable that there is no one fairer in the whole land. We become determined to have that happy ending so we put ourselves through sweat-filled hours of aerobics class. We work long hours to spend it on makeup, hair, and nutty diets. We're off to battle the dragon and live happily ever after. We take one last look in the mirror before conquering the world and there it is! That poisonous apple that destroys every fairy-tale - a pimple!

So don't just stand there gawking, run to your local drug store to find a way of removing the curse. But first, you'll need to know some acne skin care basics.

Acne is an Inflammatory Disorder

The formation of acne begins with an inflammatory signal sent by the neural system. During adolescence, for example, the production of sebum is heightened and the first flow of sebum through the canals creates a lesion in the walls of the hair duct. In short, this means that injuries are caused by a strong and sudden outflow of sebum to the surface from within the hair follicles, a condition caused by hormonal imbalances that can quickly upgrade an insipidly looking blackhead to a full blown acne breakout.

Acne breakouts are above all, caused by injuries to the cells lining the sebum canals it is essential that you find a product that treats the root cause of acne and not just the symptoms. Nonetheless, our immune system reacts to injury with an inflammatory reaction that causes most people to reach for the closest thing at hand, not realizing that thoughtless choices are oftentimes the worst. The majority of all acne skin care products contain chemicals that destroy skin cells and skin structures. This implies that instead of healing your damaged skin they contribute to the destruction of valuable collagen and help pave the road for ice pick scars, rolling scars, and even boxcar scars.

Blackheads - acne's missing link

The natural flow of sebum is obstructed when both sebum and debris come together to create a 'plug' that stops-up the hair follicle. Once this plug is exposed to oxygen, the comedone turns dark forming what is commonly referred to as a "blackhead". If the immune system effectively eliminates or contains the blackhead then the probability that acne does appear will be minimal.

Types of face acne treatment

Most people will have no need for laser acne treatment, but will rather use Exposed acne treatment or Bioskincare. These products both contain natural ingredients, however, only one of them contains components capable of aiding the immune system in its fight for acne prevention and treatment.
