Additional Acne Problems

SOMETIMES Acne comes with other problems, not only are you living with pimples, black and white heads, but some people also get associative conditions on their skin..

Acne Cosmetica

This is a type of dermatitis related to exzema and can happen to anyone, even those not prone to acne.  Cosmetics that are used on the face can sometimes irritate the skin, causing an eruption of small pimples or bumps that look a lot like acne.  The pimples can be small and red, pink or white.  They can be itchy but do not usually lead to any major scarring on the face.  Buying mineral make-up powders or creams without talc in them can help to prevent the problem and keep it from returning.  Also, a daily regimen of cleansing with the DermaCleanse facial cleansing gel, followed by a BHA/AHA toner will continue to keep your skin glowing and healthy.

Eczema

This condition looks like a rash and can appear anywhere on the body, including the face.  Sometimes eczema can be hereditary, other people acquire it through an allergic reaction or through climate or stress.  The end result is the same though, and this result is a red, bumpy, itchy rash that looks and feels rough.  Some doctors believe eczema may be related to asthma, others believe it can be triggered by coming into contact with an allergen, like certain perfumes or cosmetic ingredients.  Dermatologists tend to agree that the best way to treat and prevent Rosacea is to stay away from the things you are allergic to, and to moisturize.  If your skin is oily, try the oil-free moisturizer with SPF 30, ZENMED’s newest product, which would also work on normal, combination and dry skin.  If your skin is very dry and tends to feel stretched and rough, try the H-Series moisturizer, a power-packed emollient-rich cream designed to moisturize and heal at the same time.  We also recommend always wearing the oil-free moisturizer with SPF30 to protect the skin against future troubles like sun spots, fine lines and melanoma.

Enlarged Pores

Many people have this problem and try to fix it themselves by squeezing the pore shut with their fingers.  This is really not a good method for dealing with enlarged pores.  Not only do we have thousands of bacteria on our hands, but squeezing pores shut will only damage the skin surrounding them.  The best way to deal with the problem is to follow a strict skin care regimen that includes never touching your face during the day or night unless you have washed your hands.  Using the Microdermabrasion complex followed by a routine of moisturizing with the oil-free SPF30 is the best way to keep your skin looking fresh and your pores closed.

All of these skin problems can be easily treated using Zenmed’s line of products.  To find the products most suited to your needs, go to our website today and fill out a custom regime form.  A skincare professional will write back with a list of product chosen for your skin
