Ten (10) best natural remedies for acne and wrinkles

ACNE

The skin is a protective covering, which helps in regulating body temperature, houses sensory receptors, synthesizes chemicals and excretes waste. The skin is made up of three parts

Epidermis

The epidermis is a layer of stratified squamous epithelium that lacks blood vessel. The epidermis protects the underlying tissues against water loss, mechanical injury and the effects of harmful chemicals. Melanocytes transfer melanin to the nearby epidermal cells which protect the underlying cell from the effect of UV light.

Dermis

The dermis binds the epidermis to the underlying tissues.

The dermis contains muscle cells, blood vessels, and nerve processes

Dermal blood vessels supply nutrients to all skin cells and help regulate body temperature.

Hypodermis (subcutaneous or Fat layer) It's made up of fat and connective tissues that houses larger blood vessels and nerves. Subcutaneous tissue acts as an insulator and regulates body temperature.

Acne medically knows as Acne vulgaris is a skin disease that involves the oil glands at the base of hair follicles.Experts believe that it is primarily caused as a result of rise in hormone levels specifically androgen.

The small hole in our skin called the pores connects to oil glands under the skin. These glands make oily substance called the sebum.

The pores connect to the glands by a canal called follicle. Inside the follicles, oil carries dead skin cells to the surface of the skin. A pimple develops when the skin clogs up.

Types of pimples

• White heads - it is usually found under the skin and looks very small
• Blackheads - they are usually opened on the surface of the skin. (They are filled with excess oil and dead skin cells)
• Papules - is an inflamed pimple, it looks like small bumps (usually pink)
• Pustules – is an inflamed pimple, they are red at their base and have pus (usually yellow or white) at the top
• Nobules – they are embedded deep in the skin (very painful)
• Cysts – clearly visible on the surface of the skin like a boil

Acnes such as cysts and nobules need to be treated by a dermatologist whiles the others can be treated with over the counter drugs like erythromycin, doxycycline,products that contain benzoyl peroxide, tetracycline and many others which can target bacteria and  reduce inflammation.
