Water Is Important In Treating Acne:
2008-02-03 21:34:00
The human body stores about 12% of water in its skin. This amount has to be maintained with the required amount of good fat to prevent an acne attack. To attain this, you have to drink about 2 quarts of distilled water everyday. If you don’t drink this much of water, you just have to start increasing the amount of water you drink.

Tips For Choosing The Best Acne Treatment:
2008-01-28 21:59:00
With so many acne treatment options you have today, it is important that you know your skin type when choosing the right treatment for yourself. Oily skin needs a gel based product while those with dry skin, should choose a cream.   If you have combination skin, choose the product that works well on the afflicted area. If you have sensitive skin, the active ingredient of the treatment has to be of a lower concentration. Products that are too strong worsen the situation by over drying the area and increasing oil production in the skin to cause more acne.   You can use some mild creams as a preventative measure for acne. However at times, acne creams prove to be too harsh for use before you see or feel a zit. This is why you have to read labels carefully and use the medication in areas that are acne prone.   People suffering from painful acne, or acne that become painful after using an OTC product should try taking an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen for temporary relie...
