Neutrogena acne scar peel and chemical peel for acne scars

The gland's secretion, sebum, is formed by fatty degeneration of the epithelial cells of the gland. The entire sebaceous cells and its contents are then eliminated into the duct (Holocrine process) and is excreted on to the skin surface through the lumen of the hair follicle. Sebaceous gland activity is under hormonal control. Androgens are the most potent stimulants of seburn production while oestrogens suppress sebaceous gland activity. Seburn contains a complex mixture of lipids i.e., triglycerides, wax esters, squalene, cholestrol ester and cholesterol. The sebum acts as a lubricant and controls moisture loss from the epidermis. Another advantage of sebum is protection of skin from fungal and bacterial infection.
Hormones can be a major factor in acne's appearance. With adolescents, the body goes through many changes that can cause breakouts. During the adult years, bodily changes can also cause acne, such as premenstrual or perimenopausal hormone fluctuations. Any hormonal imbalances can cause acne, but male hormones such as testosterone are most often the cause.
A 'green' drink comes in a powdered form for you to mix with water. A single teaspoon contains almost all of the vitamins and minerals your body requires on a daily basis. During the cleansing period, I recommend using 4-5 teaspoons (i.e. drink 4-5 glasses) per day. You can purchase these drinks from most chemists and all vitamin and health food stores or you can purchase them online. There are a variety of different green drinks available on the market but I find that the majority are not very pleasing for the taste buds. There is only one that I have found so far that actually tastes good - Vital Greens (available at http://www.vitalgreens.com/ - 300g/10.6oz should last about 2 months). However, you may find others that you prefer or are easier to purchase. Other drinks that may help are liquid chlorophyll, which again can be bought from your local health store and some pharmacies, and lemon water. Liquid chlorophyll can be bought in various flavours and is a well-known pH booster. It is found in all green vegetables and is one of the most active ingredients in alkalizing the body.
