Acne Skin Treatments

Video Transcript

"Hi. My name is Mary Thinnes and I'm a skin care expert. The next topic I'm going to discuss is how to affectively treat acne as the condition in the skin. As I mentioned before, with acneic, oily skin it is very important that you use proper cleansers and all the home care. I'm not going to go over how to cleanse the skin and all that again. But, obviously, you have to be careful with acneic skin since it is sensitive, and you're trying to balance out the water in the skin and keep that proper. At the same time you want to deplete the skin of some of the oils because it has an overabundance of oil in the skin. So, with that being said, acneic skin, especially products that I would recommend for home care to treat that is something that definitely has a salicylic acid. Before I mentioned that salicylic acid should be in a cleanser. Also there are home care products that have salicylic acid in it and those are leave on treatments at home. So after you've cleansed, toned your face you can actually put on a salicylic, blot it on the spots that you have the acne breakout. Leave it for thirty seconds to a minute and put on your moisturizer, and that will actually help to clear up those blemishes. And then also with acneic skin, you can have that post inflammatory hyperpigmentation I mentioned before. And that's the red that's left there after the acne is cleared. That can be treated with your lightening gels thereafter. But in order to treat the acne and prevent it from getting any worse, you want to use the proper home care treatments. Glycolic home care treatments also these are at home leave on treatments as well. And basically it's used the same way that your salicylic would be used, and it's just left on the skin. Leave it for thirty seconds to a minute and put your moisturizer over the top. So, that being said, the most important thing with acneic skin is not to over dry the skin because it will produce too much oil and cause more breakouts. So, that being said, acneic skin proper use is what I just mentioned."
