| When it comes to acne skin care products, you probably already know that there’s a lot of choice out there.Some of them work better than others, and some of them can work very well as long as it works for your skin type.But more and more people are deciding to treat their acne themselves with skin care products, rather than consulting with a dermatologist first.Why is it so important to see a dermatologist before you invest lots of time and money in trying out different acne skin care products? Because your dermatologist will be able to tell you what skin type you are (it may be different to what you thought it was) and they can recommend what kind of products you should try.It’s important that you get some medical advice first, because otherwise you may make your acne situation worse rather than better.Okay… with that out of the way, how do you find an acne skin care product that will work for you? And what does the dermatologist look for in your skin, to determine which products are best for you?Some of the things that must be considered are what’s causing your acne, how old you are, and what stage your acne is currently in. You also need to be aware of any allergic reactions you may suffer as a result from any of the chemicals in these products.Once you know the answer to these questions, it’s time to start shopping. The first thing you need is a good cleanser. A good cleanser will often contain salicylic acid, lactic acid and glycolic acid. These chemicals will exfoliate your skin to some degree, and wash away any dead skin cells and oil.Acne skin care products that contain things like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic will be useful for exfoliating your skin over time will help reduce your acne. There are some stronger skin care products that may be useful to you, but these are usually available from your dermatologist.I can’t stress enough how important it is for you to see a dermatologist about your acne rather than relying on various skin care products (especially if your acne is quite severe). The dermatologist will be able to give you stronger products, but monitor how well they are working, so you won’t do any more damage. Visiting your dermatologist really is the most effective way to clear up your acne. |
