Acne Pimples Removal

Pimples are little skin lesions or inflammations of the skin. They usually develop after blackheads or whiteheads become clogged and infected. They may appear as deeper lumps in the form of cysts or nodules on the face, neck, chest, back and sometimes shoulders.

Some people call a pimple as a zit or spot. The varieties of pimple include pustules or papules.

Pimple facts and Pimples causes

• There are thousands oil glands on our chest, face and back. Between the nose and cheek areas there are as many as two thousand oil glands every square inch
• Oil glands lubricate the skin by producing oil, or sebum. Oil that is produced in the glands flows through follicles or tiny ducts to the surface of the skin
• When certain hormones are released (puberty, stress, etc) that causing the sebaceous glands to overproduce sebum (oil). Also the uneven shedding of dead skin cells can clog the oil glands and lastly keratinization process. Keratinization occurs when sebum, exposed to the air, hardens and forms a plug in the pore
• Bacteria grow in the blocked gland and produce fatty acids and other very irritating substances
• Human body responds by fighting the bacteria with white blood cells. As these cells die off they form puss which builds up, swelling the area, resulting in a pimple
• At this stage the pimple can develop further into nodules and cysts that go deep into the skin
• These can be quite painful and even lead to scars

The difference between pimples and acne

Acne is a disorder and inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands while pimples are the lesions produced due to excessive production of sebum when sebaceous glands and hair follicles are inflamed and clogged.

Pimples, pustules, whiteheads and blackheads are the indications of acne. Pimples are most common indication, while pustules are a little severe than pimples.

The main focus of the treatments is reducing the production of sebum, unclogging clogged pores and killing the bacteria in infected pimples.

Less sebum means less oil trapped in pimples, that also helps to correct complications during the exfoliation phase. Also removing the blockage effectively removes the pimple.

Reducing inflammation - one of the side effects of infection is redness, swelling and inflammation. Reducing this helps to reduce the visibility of pimples.

• Cleansing with cotton pads or sponges and a product chosen for your skin type (normal, dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature)
• Exfoliation - removal of the oldest dead skin cells that stick to the skin's outermost surface. Exfoliation also makes penetration easier for serums used in later stages. Depending on your skin condition micro dermabrasion, enzymatic peel or an active scrub applied
• Steaming - to open the pores and aid in the extraction process. It can cause broken capillaries and discoloration if done on sensitive skin, or done improperly. True blackheads (thick, clogged pores with a darkened appearance) and milea (the hard, pearl like bumps)
• Pimple Extraction to allow the skin’s natural oils to leave the pores without being blocked. It also enables easier penetration of any active ingredients in infusions which should almost always follow this step (however, presence of infusion step depends on skin’s condition)
• Facial mask targeted to your skin type (dry, oily, combination, sensitive, mature) to close pores and absorb any excess oil
