Combat acne with the right products from Gentlemen’s Tonic

Acne may be associated with teenagers, but it is also a problem affecting great numbers of men around the world – including many of the customers of the traditional male grooming products of Gentlemen’s Tonic (http://www.gentlemenstonic.com). Indeed, many of these products can be useful in the fight against acne, which has many causes – including some that are beyond the control of the acne sufferer.

Of course, given acne’s strong association with adolescence, it will not be a surprise for many to learn that hormones contribute to its development, with testosterone resulting in the production of more oil – sebum on the skin. The accumulation of sebum in hair ducts and pores results in inflammation, swelling and bacteria formation. Long periods of stress can imbalance hormone levels, resulting in skin problems, while acne is also known to be caused by certain drugs like lithium, androgens and barbiturates. Outbreaks can also occur after periods of sun exposure, and even diet has been suggested as a possible cause.

Those with severe acne would always be best-advised to discuss their options with a GP or qualified dermatologist – but for those that don’t have particularly serious acne, there are various courses of action that they can take. For example, the role of excess oil in the development of acne should convince sufferers of the importance of keeping their face clean regularly. Such people should use a mens foaming cleanser to wash their faces twice a day.

By washing their faces before going to bed each day, acne sufferers can eradicate surface pollution, dirt and grime, while those that are involved in physical activity or sport are advised to thoroughly cleanse their whole body at least once a day, in order to avoid blocked pores. A product like Gentlemen’s Tonic’s Gentle Body Wash is especially suitable for this, as it is a gentle formula that softens and conditions the skin and maintains its natural moisture balance.

It is also a good idea to use a good quality scrub at least twice a week so that the skin, and in particular the face, can be exfoliated. A good choice is the Gentlemen’s Tonic Exfoliating Facial Scrub, which helps to remove excess dirt and dead skin cells thanks to its naturally derived ingredients. Other good options include facial masks and acne gels, while moisturisers are also useful and as long as they are of a good quality, should not result in breakouts or overly oily skin – contrary to the popular perception. One such good quality option is the Gentlemen’s Tonic Daily Moisturiser, which is renowned for its soothing, rejuvenating and nourishing properties.

There are further options that acne sufferers can investigate, including herbal supplements. Nonetheless, Gentlemen’s Tonic (http://www.gentlemenstonic.com) offers a wealth of acne treatments in store, and stocks all of the other products that are essential to successful male grooming – from cleansers to Classic Shave Cream – for its loyal and appreciative customers.
