In Depth Info About Emu Oil Skin Disorders Acne There are
4 major factors that contribute to the formation of blemishes: Each hair follicle grows along with an oil gland that secretes sebum (oily wax) that melts on the skin's surface to naturally moisturize the skin. When too much oil is produced (usually caused by hormonal activity) it becomes mixed with dead skin cells, hair debris and bacteria eventually causing an infected backup to clog the pore and form a blemish. To clear
up blemishes: After cleansing the affected skin (use mild cleanser only), disinfect the blemish with either benzol peroxide, tea tree oil or hydrogen peroxide (the least inexpensive and just as effective). Apply a cream with exfoliating properties to slough off dead skin cells. Beta Hydroxy Acids work best on oily skin. Paula’s Choice brand BHA is recommended from www.paulaschoice.com. Emu oil helps emulsify the sebum (does not clog pores) so the sloughing of dead skin cells is uninterrupted. It also helps to reduce the swelling and inflammation caused by pimples and speeds healing of existing pimples. Emu oil works well in combination with other products to enhance their effectiveness. To treat
very serious acne, Accutane (a prescription drug made from Vitamin
A) is recommended. It slows oil production in the oil glands and shrinks
them down to the size of a baby's, permanently. Treatments last 16
weeks and causes all membranes to dry. Emu oil is excellent for rehydrating
the skin during Accutane treatments. Use inside the nose and mouth
to help reduce nose bleeds and canker sores. The lip balm is good
for dry chapped lips and the addition of a little bit of emu oil to
your shampoo will also help hydrate dry hair. Pregnant women should
not use Accutane as it causes serious birth defects.
