What do you know about Acne?

As they say knowledge is king let me share some more information with you about Acne. Did you for instance know that there are different types of acne and that they all have different names.

There are in fact six types of pimples including whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. Let's go a bit more in detail ans explain briefly how you can recognise heach type.

Whiteheads are pimples that stay under the surface of the skin. Blackheads are pimples that rise to the skin's surface and look black. Papules are small pink bumps that feel very tender. Pustules are pimples that are reddened at the bottom and have pus at the top. Nodules are very painful, large and solid pimples that are deep in the skin. Cysts are very deep pimples that are painful, full of pus and usually leave scars on the skin after they heal.

The most common form of acne is called "acne vulgaris" and is found on individuals who have oily complexions. Teenagers see a lot of acne breakouts because they have changing hormones, which causes greater secretion of oil from their skin glands. The excess oil blocks the pores causing the acne. Other factors can clog pores including pollutants in the air, oil in the air particles and irritants on the skin.

Aloe Vera can take care of all of these...why not try some:
