Alright, so our last post discussed the basic need-to-know information about what acne is, how it's formed, and the different factors that contribute to the cause of it. So since we learned that nearly everyone will be affected by acne one way or another during their life, we might as well see what kind of treatments we have to choose from to control and get rid of it!
The first thing you need to know is that everyone's acne and skin is different, so different treatments that work for some people, may not work as well for others. Lucky for us, there are several options to choose from so lets see what they are! Researching acne treatments can seem overwhelming so I'll try to break it down for you guys as simple as possible. There are hundreds of options to choose from, but like i mentioned earlier, not everyone has the same type of skin and acne, so different styles of treatments will work better than others.
Alcohol Solution Products: Products containing alcohol are best suited for people with oily skin that is not very sensitive, as it will help dry out the skin (eliminate oil), won't add excess moisture, and can tend to be irritating on fragile skin types.
Aqueous Solutions: If you read the word aqueous, and automatically thought of water, you have the right idea as these type of solutions are water-based. They are best for normal to dry skin (very moisturising) types and even suitable for sensitive skin as it's not known to be irritating because they are sans-alcohol.
Creams: Creamy products are great for normal to oily skin as they do not have a greasy texture, and they absorb into the skin quickly. It's another product that's good for sensitive skin as it is very soothing on the skin.
Gels: Gels are a popular choice for normal to oily skin as well, as they are used as a spot treatment, rather than a product that is applied over the whole face like most of the other options. This is a good option for people with minimal acne because you typically only apply it when a blemish occurs.
Lotions: Lotions is the most popular type of treatment as there are so many different types, and they can suit every skin type equally well. Most lotions will display which type of skin they are best suited for on the label so keep that in mind if you would like to pursue this treatment style.
Ointment: If you suffer from very oily skin, ointments would most likely be the worst option for you as they tend to be very greasy, which will only add moisture and increase the amount of oil your skin will produce. This products better suited for very dry skin that needs as much moisture as it can get a hold of.
So since you ladies have a better idea of how to treat your acne, and what product types will best suit your skin type, I've decided to post another video from the YouTube guru DiamondsAndHeels14 where she demonstrates her amazing foundation routine to cover up her acne while she's in the process of treating it.
