What Is Minimal Acne?

What Is Minimal Acne?
By Laurel Schrader
Defining your condition means getting the proper treatment options. You certainly wouldn't want to take Acutane if you have a mild condition, for instance. Minimal is characterized by a few blackheads or whiteheads and the occasional pimple.


This type of can be treated with skin care products that contain salicylic acid, glycolic acid, antibacterial agents, or creams, gels or lotions that have benzoyl peroxide to help unblock the pores and reduce blackheads.

Unless the product you are using is an actual spot treatment, apply products to the entire area where you have acne, not just to the visible blemishes. This method of general application will also target small microscopic blemishes that are not yet visible. It's important to use these medicines regularly, not only to treat the you have now, but also to help prevent any future breakouts.

Read the directions on the label, and follow the instructions given to you by your skincare professional. treatments most often fail because people do not follow the instructions given to them and/or they get frustrated with the slow rate of progress and discontinue treatment. It usually takes 6 to 8 weeks before you will see significant improvement.

In order to keep getting good results you may also need to continue therapy by getting regular facials to safely clean out your pores and keep your skin balanced.

Don't pick at your skin because this will spread bacteria causing more breakouts, hyper-pigmentation and even scarring. Just have diligence and be patient and the results will pay off!

Treating a minimal skin condition should also include good daily hygiene. This would include a foaming cleanser or other cleanser specifically geared toward prone skin. Follow this with a toner to balance the skin's PH level. Even prone skin needs a good moisturizer. Find a moisturizer that is non-pore clogging.

Whatever you put on your skin is absorbed into your body, and will be processed like any other food or chemical you ingest. Keep in mind that your body will either store something as a toxin, or if your body recognizes the substance it will process it and discard what is not needed. Therefore, if you put unnatural substances on your skin your body will store these chemicals in your fat and muscle tissue as a toxin. When searching for a minimal treatment and daily hygiene products keep in mind that all natural products should be your first choice.
