What Has Acne Got To Do With Skin Care?
Acne is normal so there is no cause to panic. If you are one of those lucky people who have never had a problem with your skin earlier, you will probably be quite distressed. After all this time, when you thought you had escaped it, you finally have to come to terms with the reality of having an acne problem. But there is no need to get too upset about it. There are millions of people like you.
Generally speaking, acne is caused by hormonal disturbances that encourage the secretion of sebum in the skin. In a nutshell, the grease tends to attract dirt, clogging the pores, which then become inflamed, producing acne.
Acne, the wake up call? So it is clear that if you have developed acne, you need to take better care of your skin. This really involves very basic skin care routines. You do not need to do anything drastic. Make sure you eat a balanced diet, with plenty of fruits and vegetables, which will give you the vital nutrients you need to keep your skin healthy. It is crucial to drink plenty of water so that your skin is well hydrated.
Handy hints on dealing with your acne. Apart from this, it would help to wash your face with a mild soap, if you use soap at all. If your acne is painful, take care to dry your skin gently but thoroughly. You may also need to use a mild astringent if your skin is naturally greasy. You could follow this with a light moisturizer.
Hands off your acne! Remember that you must avoid touching your acne at all costs. In fact, it would be better to avoid touching your face altogether.
Stale makeup and acne are bitter enemies. If you use cosmetics, make sure that you remember to remove traces of makeup from your face. Stale makeup may clog pores, which could then get infected and result in an eruption of acne.
Tanning and grease; so bad for acne. If you are out in the sun, it would be best to use a good sunscreen. Do not use too many creams and oils on your face, particularly if you are fond of using cosmetics. Remember that the root cause of acne is the accumulation of sebum, so the best thing you can do is to keep your skin as free of grease as possible.
Stay calm, acne is not worth the stress. And then again, it is important to relax because if you do not you will build up stress. Although stress by itself cannot actually cause acne, when you are under stress, certain hormones are released into the skin, which could result in the appearance of acne.
Above all, remember not to fly off the handle. You must learn to be patient if you expect your acne to clear up. Do not make the mistake of looking for quick fixes. Such things can do more harm than good. After all that you have been through, particularly if you have come up against acne for the first time, it would be a pity to find that all the trouble you have been taking to care for your skin has come to naught.
Acne, your own experience. Once again, try not to compare the acne problem you have anyone else you know. Every individual has a particular skin type and his or her own unique experience with acne. While it helps to know that others have also had to deal with acne, possibly far worse than yours, do remember that your experience is yours alone. If you follow the tips that have been mentioned here, you should have a handle on your acne pretty soon.
Once you are able to see an improvement in the condition of your skin, you should feel confident that your acne is under control. But do remember that your acne did not turn up overnight. It has taken time to get to this point. Quite naturally, it will take time to clear up as well.
So do be patient and comfort yourself with the cheering thought that you have made progress after all. That is saying quite a lot, so do keep your spirits up and stay strong. It will be well worth the trouble.

Why is pandemic unavoidable?
Consider the following facts given by Millennium Dev. Goals, WMO & WHO in 2004-05:
1. 60% of the world's dry lands & wetlands have been desertified (new ones from 2006 to present, not counted);
2. 3rd largest ozone hole appeared, measuring 25 million sq. kms. in area (new ones, not counted); and,
3. India has a huge number of HIV/AIDS cases in the world.
Do you still remember the author's interpretation of the 3 fallen kings/horns in Daniel's 4-beast vision? These are FAO, WHO & WMO which unknowingly have contributed faults (as ingredients) to the threat of pandemic.
The first one is giving people & earth less O2 supply, supposedly to be provided by plants, algae & photosynthetic bacteria. With less O2 intake, man's immune system will naturally deteriorate, making major organs' to malfunction or dysfunction. The 2nd one is exposing people to total solar radiation, penetrating deeply into the human body like a lazer through the skin. With low O2 concentration in the air (as shield), the pathogen-fighting white cells will be injured or damaged to death, making people vulnerable to infection. And the 3rd one is giving people the thought of death, no hope of curability.
Everyone should know that God gave the human body the self-immunization responses & reactions with the secretion of antibodies & antigens (or its combination) and sensitized cells to neutralize, reject and resist foreign microbial invaders & its toxins. But one microbe managed & persisted to live. And UNEP which is barking up the wrong tree (i.e., wrong objectives), is pictured as that microbe, a decay microorganism, the waterloo of FAO, WHO & WMO.
Decay microbes have devoured organic matter (taking carbon & O2 and then releasing CO2), leading to infertility of the soil to desertification (failure of FAO). If a pie chart of CO2 emissions is truly made, decay microbes (thriving bet. 25-40 deg. C, conducive in global warming) topped them all, agriculture & forestry as 2nd, animals as 3rd, man as 4th and transportation & industries as 5th (failure of WMO). These microbes have consumed so much O2, leaving less O2 to earth. And these microorganisms enormously compete with organisms O2 intake for man, birds, animals' survival (failure of WHO).
With extreme radiation, mutation of microbes will trigger. These may be non-pathogenic or pathogenic and may be blown away to proliferate farms, households & cities. With the above-cited 3 scenarios, the forecasted tragedy of 40 million people may be conservative because the 8 billion world population are already deficient in vigor, not able to resist much strain. They (weak or strong) are receiving candidates as waiting hosts. WHO had not informed people well to take care of cells, get much O2, but only announced to prepare for climate change. Preparations include vitamins, hygiene, mask & other first aid paraphernalia.
Thus, no amount of pathological research, development of vaccines & drug dependence can solve pandemic. As the weakened world is now waiting for that deadly strain &/or other pathogens to unleash their major or simultaneous invasion and attack, there is no escape to pandemic.
