The Truth About Comedogenic Ratings And Acne

May 18, 2018 by Anjali Lobo Leave a Comment

Let me start straight off by telling you what comedogenic actually means. Blocked pores are called comedones. When a product is comedogenic, it means it has the potential to block pores. How does it do that? Well, by increasing the shedding of skin cells. These skin cells then combine with the sebum (or oil) in your skin and block your pores.

Now since acne is caused by blocked pores, these ratings would obviously matter a lot to people who have acne. We generally would want to avoid products that would potentially cause more blocked pores leading to more acne.

5 Home Remedies for Acne You Should Never Try!

Doesn’t everyone have an opinion on your acne? Whether it’s a cure they got from somewhere in their tiny brains. Or something they just made up on the spot while talking to you. People certainly have their version of home remedies for acne.

I once had a very unkempt man come up to me in a book store and tell me to apply a paste of soap on my face at night. And leave the paste overnight while I slept. He even told me where I could get the soap, bless him. How nice! Free advice that I did not ask. Let me rephrase that – free dumb advice that I did not ask for!!! I would probably wake up the next day with a disaster on my hands were I to try that.

The Acne Cure – A Book Review

May 4, 2018 by Anjali Lobo 1 Comment

This is going to be my first book review here. Till now I have only done posts about face masks and diet. So today I thought I would venture a bit farther and review a book on acne. The book I am going to review will be “The Acne Cure – The Non Prescription Plan That Shows Dramatic Results In Little As 24 Hours” by Dr. Terry Dubrow.

I bought this book way back in 2003. I pre-ordered it on Amazon in October 2002 and could not wait till I got my hands on it. The book promised a lot. It promised to finally give me the cure to acne. Having suffered from acne for 12 years already by this time, I was ready for “The Acne Cure”.

The Benefits Of Green Tea For Acne

I have seen a lot of dermatologists for my acne. However, it was the last 2 that I learned something from. Something that would help cure my acne. And no, it was not some secret they shared with me.

Both of them stood out as they had the most amazing looking skin. It was smooth, clear and not a pore was visible. While the people in their waiting rooms did not have the best of skin, I was pretty sure these 2 were doing something they were not sharing with their patients.
