Acne cases are a problem that lots of people have at some point or another in their lives. Usually acne is caused by dirt getting caught in the pores where hair follicles are meant to grow. This clogs the pores and results in the discoloration that is normally seen in the skin. When this occurs the majority of people will seek treatment from a trained healthcare professional. This usually is not needed. IF you take the time to look around you will see that there are lots of ways to deal with acne using items you will find at any store. In fact, altering someone's diet is in many cases enough to result in a reduction in the symptoms and discoloration of the skin. Beyond this there are many unconventional treatments that are usually ignored.
Jojoba oil is a treatment that until recently was largely ignored. Jojoba oil is a tree extract that's spread over the skin. This oil is very similar to the type that's produced in human skin, and is therefore useful in treating acne. When you apply it to the sin, over time, the body mistakes it for its own oil, and begins producing less of this oil. This helps to dry the skin out, relatively speaking, and may assist in unclogging the pores. Normally people have a balanced amount of oil being produced in the skin. When either too much or too little is produced it can cause skin irritations. Jojoba oil helps to keep the skin from over producing this oil while also acting as a moisturizer.
There are a variety of methods to assist in taking care of your acne with lots of products you may already have. For example you can use a mixture of baking soda and water that can help to dry the skin out. Using a mixture of egg yolks and oat meal over the skin can also work for people who do not want to use something as harsh as baking soda. For topical treatments to the affected region only, you can try a more targeted approach. Using a cut of ginger on the blemish has a soothing affect that may speed healing. Also vinegar and salt combined with a little bit of lime juice is yet another commonly used topical aid that is said to assist in the recovery of a blemish.
Many of the same home remedies which have been used on blemishes can be used on scarred tissues as well. Lime juice for example may be used very effectively against scars. It may help smooth the skin, and will dry the surrounding area out. Generally when you have a scar you'll either have a raised scar or a flat scar. Flat scars have a much smaller amount of grown collagen skin around the affected area and can therefore be treated much more easily.
The larger problems are the raised scars referred to as hypertrophied scars. These types of scars have penetrated the epidermal layer and have extra collagen formed around the wound. When a cut goes this deep the body speeds up production of collagen around the wound and has a tendency to slightly overproduce. This causes the raised surface which is seen in this kind of scar. To be able to remove this slight overproduction of collagen most people will usually buy abrasion strips. These strips are used to scrape this small overproduction of sin off. In doing this the necessary collagen that was used to heal the wound remains while the extra is scrapped off. Obviously this type of treatment cannot be made at home, but can easily be purchased over the counter.
