The plugged pore(or a Microcomedone)
>How to get rid of Acne and Spots
The plugged pore is occlusive and leads down to the hair follicle. Lack of oxygen causes accumulation of stagnant sebum which encourages the proliferation of anaerobic bacteria, especially the species Propioni Bacterium Acnes, Staphylococcus Albus and Corynebacterium Acnes. Despite the blockage, glands in the skin carry on producing sebum oil, resulting in a swelling behind the blockage which causes a white head spot, or a blackhead if the sebum is mixed with the skin pigment melanin and exposed to air but still stuck in the pore.
These bacteria produce enzymes which convert Sebum to fatty acids. The acids cause further irritation which results in hyperkeratinization(scarring) and inflammation.

How to best treat and prevent Acne.
Add Devina`s choice to your skin care regime
Acne is best treated and prevented by addressing ALL the factors that lead to the formation of lesions. Therefore it is logical to combine treatment with products that address different causative factors(sebum, bacteria, dead skin). The action of each preparation will be ADDITIVE and lead to a more effective and faster result than can be achieved by a single product alone. It is usual to apply one product in the morning and a different one in the evening. However there are also products available that contain TWO of the active agents in the one application. All sufferers want instant results. You can help yourself by using this technique.
Complement, augment and enhance your existing acne treatment by taking advantage of the fact that by adding a product that addresses a different causative factor to your regime will enhance the existing treatment synergistically (An additive action) by producing FASTER and more EFFECTIVE results. Add DEVINA`S CHOICE peel-off face and body mask to your existing medical treatment for acne to enhance its effects. back to top |
