It is not easy to control, much less your acne, still it pays to practice acne control as it helps redeem your self esteem; however, it is important to understand control. Control the urge to aggressively control acne and you have achieved control; at least as far as acne is concerned. Does not sound very promising, though it is tested and tried and vouched for by many people.
Why I am saying this is because as we all know, acne is a very normal feature accompanying growth, but since it occurs only in some and not all teenagers and affects mostly the face it brings with it feelings of shame and embarrassment leading to a depleted sense of self esteem and desperate actions like scratching, excessive washing, and frequent application of all sorts of skin products promising sure shot instant acne solution. All this, to our utter shock and dismay leads to worsening of the acne condition, namely the pimples get bigger and numerous, appearing very ugly and cause more physical and much greater mental and emotional discomfort. Even the negative feelings add up to this condition by generating hormones that aggravate the condition. Any physical healing process is hindered or accelerated by the patient’s mental status, has been experienced often and also certified by doctors.
Therefore acne skin care must take advantage of this fact although it is very-very difficult to practice. What one needs, at least in the early stages of the problem is to let nature take its course, use mild skin care products for washing the acne affected skin and take time to use natural products like yogurt regularly, and stop worrying. Sleep well, eat healthy home cooked food to avoid toxins, try avoiding the harsh climate if you can, and within weeks the results would stun you.
