Wazzup Pilipinas!
As a child, it has been less of a problem of mine to experience the troubling effects of an acne or pimple dilemma. I could imagine the disgusts of my other classmates suffering from an acne bombardment in their faces. Such a true destroyer of confidence.
Maybe because I grew up from the province of Pangasinan where our food is less of the oily and fried stuff we see and eat here in Manila. Fresh vegetables, fruits, root crops and other food direct from nature were abundant and so we didn't have to buy from fastfood chains and suffer guilt from all those greasy food.
Some say fried food contributes to the acne or pimple problem.....and if your diet is not paired with enough exercise and a positive perception in life, it also wreaks a distressful disposition.In severe cases, you need the help of experienced dermatologists to deal with your acne issues. Make sure to contact only a reputable aesthetic clinic so that you can get the right treatment in the right manner.
Let's start our every morning right, and end it still feeling glad we made it throughout a lengthy but fulfilled day!
Scientifically, let's study first how acne is technically caused to later find solutions on how to prevent and cure it.
It may seem like you get a pimple overnight, but what you're actually seeing is the final stage of a much longer
process. An acne blemish begins approximately 2-3 weeks before it appears on your skin's surface. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles – the tiny holes you know as pores.
Deep within each follicle, your sebaceous glands are working to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and pliable. As your skin renews itself, the old cells die, mix with your skin's natural oils, and are sloughed off. Under normal circumstances, these cells are shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin.
Dead skin cells may block the pores, resulting to over-accumulation of oil underneath. Bacteria that live on the skin naturally begin to grow and multiply in this site, triggering an inflammatory response causing a red, angry pore that we see as pimple already at the tail-end of the acne formation process.
Proactiv Solution prevents acne at the root cause and destroys the acne cycle:
1. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser (Step 1) and the Proactiv Revitalizing Toner (Step 2) works by
removing dead skin cells, ensuring that the pores don’t get clogged.
2. The Proactiv Revitalizing Toner (Step 2) removes excess oils too, eliminating food for bacteria.
3. The Proactiv Renewing Cleanser (Step 1) and the Proactiv Repairing Treatment (Step 3) kills the
bacteria and prevent proliferation
4. The Free Refining Mask helps reduce the inflammation and swelling.
They say prevention is better than cure. Similarly, we should all be using a solution that could inhibit the progress of unwanted pimples or acne. We would not need any treatment if we can avoid having pimples. Using the Proactiv solution is helpful to avoid suffering from an acne infestation in our face or body.
The Proactiv solution is superior to other treatment methods because other treatments are reactive and only spot-treating pimples when these are visible and inflamed – already at the tail end of the acne formation process. These treatments often leave scars or dark marks, and do nothing to prevent future breakouts.
You can imagine the pain to undergo a painful spot-treatment procedure and when done by inexperienced hands, may cause scars for life. Since acne is a cyclical condition, recurring acne imposes recurring painful injections. With the advanced micronized benzoyl peroxide and ingredients designed by Doctors Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields, your journey to clear skin is a Proactiv solution that does not incite pain. The Philippine Dermatological Society is campaigning for awareness among Filipinos to patronize only the services of highly qualified doctors, and not to be too trusting of attendants who may not have the proper training and experience to do this.
Overnight spot treatment is the most commonly used method of treating acne because these are cheap, easy to apply, and more often than not promising miracle cure overnight. These products mostly contain high concentration benzoyl peroxide at 5% or 10% which kill the acne bacteria, but results to redness or irritation. These products may also cause hyper pigmentation (dark acne marks).
Proactiv Solution contains only 2.5% benzoyl peroxide, a safe and effective concentration which makes it OK for daily use and may be applied to the whole face. With Proactiv’s Advanced Microcrystal technology, eradicating bacteria is faster and gentler than common spot treatments.
Doctors need to supervise people using antibiotics because the long term use of antibiotics in general may cause bacterial resistance – making the person “immune” to the benefits of the active ingredient.Proactiv Solution will never have bacterial resistance because it does not contain an antibiotic, but rather an anti-microbial agent. It is safe for long term use for the treatment and prevention of acne.
When acne is severe, dermatologists sometimes prescribe oral drugs like isotretinoin or hormonal pills. There are studies that support that these methods are extremely effective for severe cases, but because of the nature of these drugs there are side effects that make it questionable if the benefits truly outweigh the cost.
For example, there were reports in 2010 linking suicidal tendencies and psychotic behaviors among acne patients on isotretinoin. Hormonal pills, which are mainly indicated as a contraceptive sometimes causes water retention, weight gain, mood swings, and in the long run, even breast cancer.
Proactiv Solution does not have these side effects!
An expensive solution does not always mean a better solution. The promise of acne’s miracle cure comes in different shapes, sizes, and prices. But do not always think that designer packs that costs Php 10,000 in expensive clinics are great! Expensive acne systems often do not have the backing of massive consumer trial from all over the world, and you end up being a guinea pig.
Proactiv Solution is now the world’s number 1 anti-acne. Millions of customers worldwide can testify on how effective Proactiv is, including Hollywood superstars. Proactiv even dares you to try it risk free – you get your money back if you’re not happy.
