Which cosmetic preparations help treat acne?

Facial acne is of course an unpleasant problem which is likely to appear in adolescence but also later in life. Which cosmetic products can help treat acne, and how do you choose?

While many call them “growing pains”, they can, in fact, affect people at various stages of life. Those solitary pimples, which may appear in groups in different areas of the body, are always unwanted guests. This is even more true when they appear in visible areas such as your cheeks, forehead, chin, and nose. The phenomenon of acne is sometimes caused by blockages of the sebaceous glands, as well as by hormonal changes.

Unlike what some assume, hormonal changes don’t just appear at adolescence, but also in conjunction with your period, as a result of birth control, and so on. Each is joined by additional factors that can accelerate and aggravate the development of zits, including fatty foods, poking at existing pimples, some medications, and of course, a care routine that isn’t suitable for your skin. It should be recalled that beyond the temporary discomfort of a new zit, severe acne lesions are liable to leave scars – which is why it’s best to treat them effectively.

How do you use cosmetic preparations to treat acne?

Cosmetics play a key role in your acne treatment routine. Most women suffering from acne invest time and effort in treating their skin, but make mistakes that prevent healing and even aggravate their condition. The following tips will allow you to enjoy the advantages of cosmetics designed to treat acne as part of a well-balance care routine:

Clean your face (without overdoing it – one of the most common mistakes in acne treatment is excessive frequency of cleansing.) Washing your face in the morning and at night creates the necessary foundation, and this should be done delicately and without strenuous scrubbing motions. Of course, it’s also important to be diligent about makeup removal, while avoiding unnecessarily fussing with your face and the lesions themselves.

Choose cosmetics that suit your skin – if you have acne, your skin needs specialized products. Oily cosmetics, for example, are liable to make things worse. How do you make the right choice? What characteristics should you look out for? Key highlights to pay attention to whether you’re buying day cream, nourishing night cream, or facial serum:

Beyond quality testing – Choose products licensed by the Ministry of Health which have passed tests designed to ensure suitability for skin with unique needs, such as testing for dry skin, dermatological testing, and hypoallergenic testing.

Avoiding potentially harmful materials – Opt for products without parabens (preservatives) or SLS (a common ingredient in care products responsible for frothing liable to irritate the skin and lead to irritation).

Choosing ingredients proven to be beneficial for the skin – Bmanuka products are based on manuka honey, which contains ingredients known to possess anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. The benefits of this honey in connection to the healing of skin lesions have been known for years and even proven in many studies. In addition to honey, Bmanuka products also include a selection of ingredients suitable for use on skin with a tendency towards acne.

Bmanuka’s daily care products (day cream, nourishing night cream, and bee venom facial serum) include such components as sunflower oil, which does not create comodones and helps treat acne; aloe vera, known to be a disinfectant and antibacterial agent; jojoba oil, used to treat acne and eczema due to its anti-inflammatory properties; and calendula oil, which nourishes, rehabilitates, and calms the skin.

Additionally, each preparation includes other ingredients which provide your skin with the comprehensive care it needs. For example, bee venom facial serum accelerates the healing of damaged skin cells as well as reinforcing skin elasticity. As a result, women seeking to enjoy fresh and smooth skin in addition to treating acne can find a comprehensive solution in the same product line.

To maximize the effectiveness of the acne treatment, we recommend using cosmetics as part of a healthy lifestyle that meets the needs of your skin. Starting from an appropriate diet low in foods likely to spark breakouts (such as carbohydrates and fatty foods) and up to washing your hands before touching your skin. In cases of severe or resistant acne, you can consult a doctor.”
