What keeps Acne Scars Away?

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

After the acne disappears, you are left with ugly, frightening and uncomfortable scars.  Acne actually affects most people, but about 30% are then affected by scars.  If you suffer from this disorder, you should immediately find some way to get rid of them, and if you are still not affected by this problem, it is best to learn about some preventive measures.

Often acne is caused if you use strong detergent soaps to wash away the oil that comes out of your body on to the skin. Acne can also be the cause of too much rubbing with the soaps, especially on the face. As recommended by dermatologists it is best to use mild cleansing soaps for the face and no detergent soaps at all.  If you already have acne, do not rub the face as the acne on it will get rubbed.  This is one of the main reasons of scarring even after the acne disappears.

There are many products for acne treatment as well as acne scar removal, but the treatment is totally dependent on the acuteness of the disease.  An acne scar is formed when the tissue of the skin is either damaged or lost.  As soon as you notice that a scar is forming, consult a dermatologist right away, because the newest scars have a better chance of being healed than the older ones.

Home-based treatments are an excellent alternative to lotions and creams.  For totally new scars, it is possible to cure them, and with many it is possible to fade the scars. Aloe vera can be applied to the scars and even lavender oil is very effective for the removal of acne scars.  A good acne scar removing cream will do the trick, use it regularly and follow the instructions carefully.

Even if you use a good acne scar removing cream, check out that it has a herbal basis.  Many of the creams and lotions recommended for acne are made from natural products and can cure severe acne, cysts, blackheads, whiteheads, large pores, facial and body acne, oily skin and last but not least acne scarring. It is important to check that such lotions do not contain any chemicals, and the ingredients listed on the product should be natural and herbal products.  Many of the ingredients are common ingredients used at home.

There are some low-cost techniques also available called Overnight Acne Cures, which can be performed at home.  The entire program lasts about 2 months, and it is advised that the course should be followed thoroughly; otherwise it may not have any effect.  These are again natural and no chemical products, having no side effects at all.

The program gives a guarantee of clear skin within 24 hours because the skin pores become smaller immediately and hence the skin oil production is also reduced drastically. The company gives a money-back guarantee, with no questions asked.  It has been proved to have a success rate of 96%, so it is worth a try.

What Is The Best Scar Treatment – For Hard To Remove Scars – Acne Scars, Keloid Scars And Stretchmarks?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

For most  types of skin complaint; there are generally many options of varying efficiency.However, the problems of scarring and hyper-pigmentation appear to have far fewer treatment options and reports of their effectiveness are less than impressive.

For certain types of scarring. e.g, keloid and pitted acne scars; it is very difficult to find any positive reports at all for their effective treatment.

I have seen some good reviews for the product Bio-oil for the treatment of scars, particularly on the website; Ciao.This is a product which has been around for a while, but even with this product; there are a significant number of disappointed customer reviews, some who have found the product totally ineffective, especially with regard to the treatment of keloid scars, pitted acne scars and pigmentation.

There are several other topical treatment options which are being marketed for the treatment of scars; such as Rosehip Seed oil, copper peptides, Mederma, Elicina; as well as other treatments, such as laser, dermabrasion and chemical peels.

Although there are some positive reports to be found for some people with these treatments; generally, this is far from consistent, with a significant proportion complaining of the ineffectiveness and slowness of action of these products for the treatment of their scars.

Also; I have not seen much photographic evidence for most of these products effects on scars, which is the clearest way to compare a products effectiveness.

It appears to be the case that the positive reports for these products are coming from those people whose scars are only  minor, while those with more severe problems or with particular problems; such as pitted acne scars, severe stretch marks, keloid scars, hyper-pigmentation  and age spots may account for the many frustrated and disappointed reviews I have read.

I have found this to be the case for my own particular hyper-pigmentation problem, which I  have had for years now.

Despite having tried several treatments, including Rosehip Seed oil and copper peptides, it is still very much a problem and refuses to budge!

Hope!

I first came to the attention of an intriguing substance being reported as an effective treatment for scars and pigmentation, whilst researching the new product Skinderma Pro.

Skinderma Pro’s website offers very impressive photographic evidence of results on scars, most excitingly, even for the most resistant types of scarring, e.g keloid scars, pitted acne scars and stretchmarks.

I examined the ingredients and the scientific references supporting the effectiveness of the ingredients in the product.

I found that there are a several ingredients in the product, which have been shown in studies to have beneficial effects for aging skin and for scarring.

Two of these ingredients are rosehip seed oil and pomegranate oil. Although these oils  have been shown to be very effective for improving signs of aging in the skin and to have some benefits for scarring; the evidence of consumer review sites and from skin care forums, is that the benefits of these products for scarring are limited.

The unique element in Skinderma Pro; which would account for the outstanding results seen on the Skinderma Pro website, is a relatively unheard of substance, called Tamanu oil.

Having read the scientific reference for this ingredient, given on the Skinderma Pro website and finding it impressive; I decided to see if this could be backed up by consumer’s reports of usage on independent review sites and forums.

There was not a great deal to be found, due to its relative obscurity. However; the feedback that I did find was resoundingly positive.I was unable to find any negative feedback at all, which as I have already mentioned is quite unusual, especially with regard to keloid and pitted acne scars and pigmentation  treatments.

I would go so far as to say that consumers are ‘raving’ about its effectiveness and speed of action in removing and reducing scars and pigmentation problems which have hither-to proved resistant to all previous forms of treatment, such as;  microdermabrasion, laser treatment, glycolic peels, Mederma, Bio-oil, Elicina, Copper Peptides  etc.

To read what consumers are saying about Tamanu Oil; here are a few links and quotes taken from independent review and forum sites;

Tamanu User Reviews (on health forum)

Tamanu User Reviews (on a Tamanu Oil product site)

“I have been a user of the Tamanu oil for the past 5 years. I discovered the product after moving to live in Vanuatu in 2002. The product has excellent skin repair quality and through daily use of the product on pigmentation blotch on my temple this has completely gone and I also treated a small wart on my knee which also disappeared within 3 months. I continue to use the product on the back of my hands which tend to dry out through extended exposure to the harsh Vanuatu sun whilst playing golf.”

Bryan Death, General Manager Moorings Hotel, Vanuatu

“I am Tamanu Oil’s greatest fan. Having reached the age of 50 (okay, so maybe I’m a little older), I found that I was beginning to have some age spots appear on the back of my hands. I think this was due to spending too much time in a bikini when I was younger. Whatever the reason, I didn’t like it. After using straight Tamanu Oil, I don’t have one single age spot on either hand! I now use Tamanu Oil all the time. It is the greatest skin care secret of all time and but for moving to live in Vanuatu, I wouldn’t even have learnt that such a miraculous natural product existed.”

Pamela Reynolds, CEO PR’s Management Consulting & Financial Services Vanuatu Ph: (678) 58381 or (678) 51405

Anibanani – 06-07-2005 –  07:36 PM (on healthboards.com) – listing treatments she has tried;

“dermanew microdermabrasion- minimal sucessslikia camelia oil- total bs made me break out and did nothing for the scarsretin a- did nothing but thin out my skin and made me sensitive to every element of the weather(took me years to get my skin back to normal)mederma-made me itch like crazy, did nothing for my scarsin office microdermabrasion- lil to no resultstamanu oil-in seven months my scars are 95% smoothed out, not to mention I have practically no acne thanks to this and also good diet, really good stuff I highly reccomend it “  And one last review from the essentialdayspa forum, posted on a topic about scar treatments; “I hate to get all melodramatic here and start saying i’ve found my holy grail but i’m just loving tamanu oil!!!

Okay, let’s get away from the fact that it stinks and isn’t pleasant at all! it’s also quite viscous and yellowy. I can put up with that in miracle products!!

However, i’m hesitant to get all happy happy and proclaim miracles because i have only used it THREE TIMES. but, i’m noticing a difference already! Wow!!!! I’m just praying i don’t have an OCM purge type moment with it being oil.

Along with my many many other red marks, i’ve had an acne mark on my cheek for a year now, which i affectionally call my norway scar. It was a spot which developed on my holiday to norway last March – bang smack in the middle of my cheek – and ruined my holiday. Well, not ruined it, but you girls know what i mean!

Despite being so patient and not squeezing it, as i am apt to do, it still scarred and has been very noticeable being in the middle of my cheek. it’s never gone, albeit it has faded.

Now!!!!!!!!!!! Heck, it’s barely there!!!! I really can’t believe it after only three times! I keep looking in the mirror thinking maybe i’m looking in the wrong place!

My newer, more redder scarring hasn’t shown quite this remarkable improvement but i expect that will take a bit longer. But, I’m really really pleased! I just pray i don’t start breaking out again as i’m just starting to get my last OCM purge until control! Infact, that’s where all the scarring has come from!

So, i think i’ve cracked the best thing for my acne scarring – using tumeric (in either ready made cream or using it DIY style) to fade the spots, together with a good exfoliant once a week to clear the top layer of dead skin then tamanu oil at night. I feel more positive about being able to clear my skin again than i have done for ages! ”

Outstanding results can be seen in ’Before and After’ photographs, which claim to be from users  of the product ’Skinderma Pro’, at the Skinderma Pro website, and can be seen as further evidence of Tamanu oil’s powerful effects on all types of scars, as such dramatic results have not been reported or documented  by users of  the other ingredients in the product, despite their being present in the marketplace for several years now.

These outstandingly positive consumer reviews have persuaded me that this substance definitely deserved further investigation. The following is a summary of what I found out from the existing literature:

Tamanu Oil Background

Apparently, the indigenous Melanesians and Polynesians have been aware of the regenerative and curative properties of Tamanu Oil for centuries.The natives regard it as one of nature’s sacred gifts – being  sometimes referred to as the Sacred Oil Of Tamanu or Green Gold!

Scientific Evidence

While there have been a number of scientific studies on Tamanu Oil, the research has been limited, due largely to the product not being well known outside Pacific Island countries such as Vanuatu and Tahiti

However, this does not put it behind most of the ‘high tech’ cosmetic ingredients to be found in top brand expensive cosmetic creams, which rarely have scientific studies to support their claims.

BioScience Laboratories conducted a study of Tamanu oil’s ability to improve the appearance of scars.Six subjects with obvious scars aged for one year or more participated in the test. Subjects were not allowed to use moisturizers on their scarred areas for seven days before the test or throughout the nine-week test period.Scars were rated for roughness, length, width and degree of difference from surrounding normal skin. Measurements of darkness and redness were also taken for scarred and surrounding normal skin. Digital photos of scars were taken prior to initial application and at the end of week nine.

Tamanu oil was applied to the scarred area twice daily for nine consecutive weeks.There was significant improvement in appearance of scars after six weeks, and improvement continued through week nine.Scar length was reduced by an average 0.28 centimeters, and width was reduced by an average 0.12 centimeters.

Source: Dweck, A.C.: Calophyllum inophyllum – Tamanu oil the African, Asian, Polynesian and Pacific Panacea. International Journal of Cosmetic Science 24, 6, 1-8 (2002).

This study only lasted 9 weeks, only a couple of months, and these results are quite a significant improvement, when you compare it to the agonisingly slow progress often experienced with other scar treatments.

Healing benefits of Tamanu Oil

Scientific studies show that Tamanu Oil is a significant healing agent because of its ability to produce new skin tissue and because of its anti-inflammatory, anti-neuralgic, antibiotic and antioxidant properties.

While Tamanu Oil can be used effectively to treat a range of infections including ring worm, athlete’s foot, itching and dermaphytosis of the scalp or beard (due to the presence of Friedelin) and infected wounds and burns (due to the anti-bacterial presence of Canophyllol and the antibiotic presence of lactone), it is its cicatrizing capacity that sets it apart.Cicatrization is the process involved in the formation of new tissue.Consequently, Tamanu Oil is amazingly effective for the treatment of everything from;

acneacne scarsscarring generallystretch marksdiabetic sorespsoriasissunburnblistersabrasionsburnscutseczemaherpes sores,insect bites and stings,fissures,dry or scaly skin andMOST IMPORTANTLY – the reduction or COMPLETE REMOVAL of unsightly age spots and hyperpigmentation.

The natural anti-inflammatory qualities of the oil also produce significant pain-relieving properties – this is especially so when it comes to conditions such as neuralgia, sciatica, shingles and rheumatism.

It is this anti-inflammatory quality that is primarily responsible for the reduction of general swelling, rashes, sores, and abrasions.

The combination of the oil’s anti-inflammatory and analgesic qualities can be particularly beneficial in the case of pulled muscles, ligament damage and sprains.

Tamanu Oil can be applied to the surface of the skin to promote healthy, blemish-free skin. Many Ni Vanuatu women apply use it on babies to prevent nappy rash.

It may be applied to treat a variety of skin irritations, including those caused by warts, allergies or skin ulcers.

Some of the other skin care benefits of this tropical first aid remedy include the treatment of dermatitis, chemical burns, skin grafts, post surgical wounds, vaginitis, chilblains

The Cancer Chemopreventative Agents

In a search for anti-tumor-promoting agents, a Japanese study found that one of the components of tamanu oil exhibited a marked inhibitory effect on mouse skin tumor promotion.Source: Cancer Letters, Volume 169, Issue 1, Pages 15-19 M. Itoigawa

While these tests were conducted on rats, the scientific findings strongly suggest that Tamanu Oil could well operate as an anti-cancer promoter in humans as well.

Anti-Aging Qualities Of Tamanu Oil

Given Tamanu Oil’s unique ability to promote the growth of new, healthy skin tissue, the benefits of using natural Tamanu Oil-based products are obvious.

Although I was unable to find any scientific studies on the effects of Tamanu oil for aging skin; I would guess that it will prove as effective, if not more so, than most of the cosmetic ingredients being used in the ‘high tech’ cosmetic offerings currently to be found in the market place.

Wrinkles are caused by changes in the lower layer of the skin, the dermis, which result in reduced production and repair of damaged skin components (elastin, collagen and Hyalonuric acid). However, according to Leslie Baumann, a world-renowned dermatologist; most skin care ingredients can’t penetrate that far into the dermis to affect wrinkles.

Baumann asserts that there are only a limited number of cosmetic ingredients which have been proven to be able to penetrate all three skin layers and therefore stimulate the regeneration of new skin tissue.She cites vitamin C, copper peptides and retinoids as having this unique ability.

Most cosmetic ingredients temporarily mask the wrinkle by temporarily ‘plumping’ the skin, rather then ‘treating’ the cause of the wrinkle at the dermis level.

However, Tamanu oil has also been proven to have this unique ability to penetrate all three layers of the skin ; thus putting it in this exclusive category of effective skin tissue regenerating  ingredients.

The superior scar treating effects reported by users may indicate that its regenerating  abilities are superior even to those substances cited by Baumann and Tamanu Oil may therefore be similarly superior in its anti-aging abilities.

Unfortunately, due to its newness to the market; a lack of reports, reviews and studies means that there is little evidence to really compare it to other products for its anti-aging abilities at present, apart from to say that the anecdotal evidence is stronger for its success with age spots and pigmentation than the anecdotal evidence of most treatments that I have read.

In order to gain greater clarity on the extent of the strengths and limitations of Tamanu oil; I invite users to leave their reviews, feedback and progress with use of the product with regard to its anti-aging and scar reducing benefits on the BBT forum.

You are also invited to leave overall ratings of the product; though this is best given after several months of use, to get a more complete picture of its effects.

How Tamanu Oil is Produced

The Tamanu tree only bears fruit once a year and the fruit itself is inedible. However, inside the fruit is a pale-coloured nut kernel. When this nut kernel is dried (which takes 1-2 months), it turns a deep, chocolate brown and releases a sticky, rich oil.

The oil is then extracted by cold-pressing and filtration. It takes an awful lot of nuts to produce a small quantity of oil – in fact, it takes around four trees to produce approximately 20 Liters of “pure” Tamanu Oil, depending on the size and yield of the trees!

How to Use Tamanu Oil

Tamanu Oil should be applied topically. That is to say, it should be applied directly to the surface area of the affected skin, not ingested.

Once applied, massage in. The oil will absorb readily into the skin, without leaving any oily residue.

The real trick to using Tamanu Oil, especially when it comes to removing age spots, is to only use 100% pure Tamanu Oil.

While it can safely be mixed with other oils such as Olive Oil, all this really achieves is a higher profit margin for the seller or manufacturer and a less effective treatment for the consumer.

The other trick to achieving effective and rapid results is the frequency with which you apply the oil.

Initially, it’s a good idea to apply the oil 4, 5 or more times a day and then cut back as the problem begins to heal.

If you are applying the oil to a large area then the frequency should be 2-3 times a day. It can have a drying effect on the skin when applied to a large area. If the area does start to become “scaly”, don’t be alarmed – it means the oil is doing its job. Ease off on the application or even stop for a few days.Apply some pure 100% Virgin Coconut Oil to ease the drying effect and then re-commence the application of Tamanu Oil, if necessary.

AvailabilityHaving perused the literature and read the positive responses from Tamanu oil users given on independent review and forum sites; I feel confident that this is indeed a very exciting breakthrough ingredient for the treatment of scars and pigmentation problems and could well be the best treatment for scars to be found at present.

However, due to its obscurity; I found that there are very few sellers of 100% pure Tamanu oil. In the UK, I could not find any!

There are a few sellers in the USA, but buying from these companies (if you live in the UK and Europe) involves high shipping costs and the painfully long wait for delivery, which can sometimes involve even further delays and costs with customs.

Many of the products containing Tamanu oil are also diluted with other, less effective oils and are also vastly over-priced (this is the case with the Skinderma Pro product).

As a result of the dearth of options with regard to Tamanu Oil products available; the evidence pointing to its unique and superior effectiveness for scar and skin healing and requiring an affordable, attractively packaged and conveniently available product for my own usage; I have ventured into the world of product development and developed a  Tamanu Oil product, available for purchase in and from the UK.

It retails at a fraction of the cost  of the Skinderma Pro product and it contains only 100% pure, undiluted Tamanu oil, to ensure maximum strength, effectiveness and speed of action.

 

Remove Acne Scar: What Options Do I Have?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

In order to determine the best approach to remove acne scar depends on the type of scar and the extent of the scarring. Acne scarring is one of the most difficult aspects of this skin condition that an acne suffer has to face.There are many emotional and psychological issues such as frustration, embarrassment, a sense of being disfigured are just some of the emotional and psychological issues that an acne sufferer has to deal with on a daily basis.The following are 5 approaches to this problem that you may wish to take into consideration.Option #1- Chemical PeelingChemical peeling might be the easiest approach to a very mild case of acne scarring. This procedure for removing scars takes about fifteen minutes to complete. Facial redness may persist for up to a few weeks. In the caseof deep scarring however another procedure might be recommended.Option #2 – DermabrasionDermabrasion is a technique that uses a machine with a diamond plated wheel to abrade (to wear down or rub away by means of creating friction) your skin thereby removing the scarred tissue. This method has been used for a long time. Funnily enough before dermatologists started using a diamond wheel they would use sand paper, so your faced was literally sanded down.The time to complete the treatment is approximately 1 hour. Scabbing around the treated area should be anticipated and expect redness to last for a couple of weeks.Option #3 Laser ResurfacingLaser resurfacing treatment uses a carbon dioxide or erbium laser to remove the scarring from the affected area of skin. Treatment will vary anywhere from minutes to an hour depending on the size and amount of scars that need to be removed.People with darker completion are advised not to have this treatment to remove acne scar because it may result in uneven skin coloration. A mild pinkish tone may be visible for a period even after the initial redness which may last for a few weeks has disappeared.Option #4 Punch MethodThe punch excision technique is a surgical procedure to remove the scarred area. One punch replacement method uses a tool to remove acne scar and a graft of skin taken from some other part of your body is used to cover the removal site.Option #5 SubscisionRemoving acne scars with a subscision technique requires that the scar be detached from the lower tissue causing blood to clot under your skin. The clot that has formed under the skin has the resulting effect of pushing the scar up to the surface of your skin.The combination of these two procedures, namely dermabrasion or laser resurfacing and subscision offers you the best results to remove acne scar. In order to determine the best approach to resolve your skin scarring issue will depend on the type of scar and the extent of the scarring. Its very important that you discuss your treatment options with your dermatologist before making a decision to remove acne scar.

Acne Scar Cream – What You Need To Consider

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010

A skin condition that is present in both males and females is acne. It generally shows up during the ages of puberty however it sometimes continues into adulthood too.  all ages starting withteenagers to working adults, acne has proven to be a common opposition. The effects of acne can be categorized as, both mental and physical, such as, depression, low self-esteem and skin scarring. Several different kinds of treatment are obtainable for the treatment of acne and probably the most frequently used is the acne scar cream.Currently, there are numerous brands of acne scar cream available in the market. Most of these can be bought over the counter at any local supermarkets or pharmacies. However, there are several brands of acne scar cream that is particularly stronger and need a prescription from medical personnel. As the skin varies from person to person, one should always refer a dermatologist before using any acne scar cream. Before applying any acne scar cream, it is strongly advised you conduct a skin analysis incase of allergies and disagreements with skin types. The scar screams used for oily skin is different that for dry skin and applying the wrong cream on one’s skin could sometimes worsen the acne status.Even though oily skin may appear to stay softer longer, more youthful and require less moisturizer it also has a downside to it too such as the buildup of bacterial infections. As a Therefore, oily skin tends to be more than prone to acne. Therefore, an oil removing product should be used before the application of the actual acne scar cream. Usually, dry skin isn’t prone to acne outbreaks because the skin is not exposed to much bacteria as oily skin, but outbreaks does appear often.Generally acne scar cream products work by tackling almost all the issues that contributes to the formation of acne such as, blocked pores, bacterial infections and excessive oiliness. Some acne scar cream products even carry an exfoliating effect in which the weakened layer of skin is removed and the resulting new layer of skin would tend to be less inclined to acne that would appear subsequently. Even though some acne scar creams come with an exfoliating effect, separate cleaning and exfoliating products will be required prior to the application of the scar cream.The usage of scar creams should be conducted with care as many brands of acne scar cream can initiation different side effects of the body. These include, but are not limited to, dry skin, skin irritation, redness and skin peeling. Acne scar cream products provide an obtainable and effective way to deal with acne. As with any medical product, the careful and correct usage would hopefully deliver the desired effect.

What You Need to Know About How to Remove Blackheads

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Are you someone who has been dealing with skin problems for years? When you are in a place where you are thinking about how to remove blackheads, you will find that there are a number of tips and tricks that you need to be aware of, so stay on top of things!
If you are ready to figure out how to remove blackheads, you will find that you are not alone. This common skin condition is one that troubles many people, both men and women, and because they can be worsened through hormonal changes, they can strike you at any point in your life.
Much like acne, you will find that taking care of blackheads can be something that you can work on easily and naturally, so take a moment to see what your options are. There are some interesting ways to remove skin blemishes in general, and when you are thinking about how to remove blackheads, there are a number of things to keep in mind.
First, when you want to learn how to remove blackheads, remember that blackheads are essentially the accumulation of debris and dead skin in your pores. The dark matter is due to the dirt that can get trapped in your pores and this can go a long way towards making your face look a lot dirtier and grimier than it really is. What can you do combat blackheads and what can you do to make sure that they do not return? Remember that establishing a routine that you stick to is quite important.
When you are looking to prevent blackheads, make sure that you take good care of your face. This means taking the time to gently wash it daily and it also means avoiding using heavy creams or lotions on it, which can clog your pores. Also remember that if you wear makeup, you should remove it every day before you sleep. This will stop it from settling in your pores and it will keep you from having issues with acne as well.
Perhaps one of the most effective ways to deal with blackheads is to squeeze them out. Before you do this, however, you need to remember that you should be gentle. Start by making sure that your face is clean and dry; ideally you should use a mild scrub to remove any dead cells.
Then, after your face is dry, use a warm compress on your face for fifteen minutes or so. After you pat your skin dry, you can use a piece of tissue on either side of your fingernails to squeeze the blackhead out. Remember that you are trying to squeeze the blackhead out from the bottom.
While this is effective, take care to make sure that you do not tear the skin or cause scarring. This is something that can actually send you all the way back to square one, and at the end of the day, you are looking to improve your skin conditions. This means that you should not try to squeeze a particular blackhead out more than once or twice.
