CAUSES: WHY ME?CleansingCleaning your skin may be one of THE worst things you can do for your complexion. In fact one of the most common myth about acne is that it is result of improper cleansing or not enough cleansing. Regular cleansing involves removing excess surface oils and dirt. BUT most acne sufferers usually go overboard in their attempts to cleanse using over-drying soaps, thick clay masks and scrubs. They harshly abrade the skin and aggravate breakouts.“An abnormal desquamation process is required to produce clinical acne vulgaris. This process consists of increased sloughing of the epithelium, which becomes more cohesive and blocks the follicular orifice with the accumulation of dead cells.” *3 In other words an abnormal amount of cells are being produced at a hectic rate to give you acne. This happens when the pore lining is shedding at an increased rate. This makes the things in the area stick together more readily and eventually clogs the pore’s opening. What causes this abnormal desquamation? Well, the more you scrub your skin, the more cells you need to replace the skin you just scrubbed off. More vicious cycles, huh? And when you scrub your skin with face loofa, buff pad and/or granular exfoliant you break up cellular connections (acantholysis) in the epidermis. When cells mature and shed themselves too fast (Parakeratosis) you set yourself up for failure. The topical drying agents and creams have the potential to be worse than anything. You think you are doing a really good thing by buying a product to help your skin. Once I got past the stigma of buying an acne product from the store, I was so happy that I had made the decision to DO something to improve myself. As my old pimple turned into scabs and then little pieces of dry skin flakes, new ones were popping up faster then ever. EVEN WATER strips your skin of its natural oils and dries it out setting you up to have over-production of sebum. So what can you do?
