Acne solutions occupy the
minds of our teenagers. With acne being the most common skin
complaint in the world, and teenagers being the most body conscious
people in our society, acne solutions are keenly sought by our
young.
However the search for “acne solutions” or “acne
cures” rests on the assumption that acne can be cured, much the same
as it is assumed that many other medical problems of the modern age
can be cured. The reality however, is different. Real acne solutions
are just that, solutions, not cures.
It is a symptom of our
fast fix society that if we have a problem we want an immediate fix.
If we can’t fix it ourselves we assume that technology will come to
the rescue and provide a simple, painless low cost fix in a bottle.
Acne, unfortunately, isn’t so easy.
Acne affects,
according to some, up to 95% if teenagers at some time in their teen
or early adult years. It can be serious and debilitating, mild and
easy to control, or usually somewhere in between. The market for
acne cures is huge, billions of dollars. There are a myriad of
acne remedies out there all claiming to be the one and only. The
magic bullet of acne cures. The one stop fix for every teenagers
troubling acne. Millions are spent in advertising these so called
acne cures or acne remedies. Wild claims are made about their
effectiveness. Guarantees are offered that they will work.
However the reality of acne is that scientists still do not
fully understand what causes it. The causes of acne are thought to
be hormonal, or more specifically a hormonal imbalance, but the
mechanism isn’t fully proven.
So despite the fact that the
market for acne remedies is huge, it is still true that acne cannot
be cured. Acne is a condition caused by some mix of as yet unknown
factors at work in the body, and will only stop when the body
decides it’s time for it to stop. Until then it will, or can,
continue and this process is independent of attempts to cure it.
Does this mean that there are no acne solutions? No not at
all. Quite the opposite. It just means that people searching for
acne cures need to approach the problem with the right perspective.
Don’t expect to find the “perfect” acne cure. The one secret
potion that, when applied, will immediately clear up all those
annoying spots in a few days. That, once the cure has been effected,
it will be unnecessary to apply the product any more.
Look
at it this way. Good acne solutions do exist. They can be a little
hard to find because what works for some may not work for others, so
you may need to try a number of products until you find the one that
works for you.
And once you have found the acne control that
works for you don’t expect to use it for a while and stop. Acne
isn’t cured, it’s managed. Once you have the spots under control you
then need to practice active acne prevention by continuing to use
the product until your body says “enough is enough”. And observing
some basic common sense precautions.
It’s a question of
attitude and expectations. Go into it looking for the perfect once
only “acne cure” and you will be disappointed. Understand that acne
is a natural body condition that can be controlled with some effort
once the right product has been found.
That it will not stop
until it has decided to and that you may well need to keep using the
product for quite some time until it does. And that as a huge
percentage of your friends will also get it at some time it is just
a part of growing up.
Acne cures? There aren’t any. Acne
solutions? They do exist, and there are some very good ones. But you
need to understand the difference.
