So there you are at the sink again, scrubbing away on your face for the third time that day. So is your face actually covered with germs and is what you are doing having any effect on the number of pimples that you are or are not getting? The answer to this and other questions may in fact surprise you.

You Can’t Scrub Acne Away

It’s a natural response for anyone who has an acne breakout to run to he sink and start scrubbing. However; clinical study after clinical study has shown that acne sufferers in general, have far cleaner skin than people who aren’t suffering from acne. The reason is simple too. It’s because people with acne wash their faces far more often with far more powerful cleaners.

Abrasive Gritty Skin Cleaners

In fact, studies have shown that over cleaning your skin particularly with abrasive gritty skin cleaning products may be contributing to your problem. The problem is that overly cleaned, dried out skin will tend to be dry and brittle and dry brittle pore opening can’t function correctly.
In short, they get stuck open and are one way paths for acne causing bacteria.

Cleaning Beyond the Skins Surface

One new product that is now available for acne sufferers is new skin cleanser and ex foliating products that use mild acids in the place of harsh abrasives. Not only are they far gentler on the skin but they are able to go beyond the skins surface and dissolve away dead skin cells and coagulated oils inside the skins pores.

Now Thats Deep Cleaning

Also, new scientifically formulated therapeutic skin cleansers are now available that clean the skins surface but don’t strip away the skins vital nutrients. Many of these new clinically proven skin cleansers actually contain substances that are able to penetrate beyond the skins outer protective layer and function on a cellular level with living skin tissues.
