			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>IGY Life Sciences has recently developed a patented process to curing acne effectively and safely. The process involves extracting immunoglobulin antibodies from immunized chicken egg and then returning the egg to a food source. The antibodies found on the immunized egg are used to kill bacteria residing on the skin. The antibody is aimed to be injected in skin care applications to cure acne.</p>
<p>This process has been accepted and verified by international scientific bodies and is considered as a safe alternative. Surprisingly, it has been used in various human and veterinary medicine fields for treating bacterial infections.<br />
The process starts when the hen is given a dose of government approved vaccine. This creates the necessary antibodies in the eggs as the hen builds up extra antibodies in response to the vaccine. The antibodies are then passed to the eggs and are finally extracted for use in skin care formulations.</p>
<p>Typical acne treatments kill both the good and the bad bacteria on skin, thus leaving the skin more vulnerable and weak to fight off on coming infections. These treatments also leave the skin dry and dull along with being incapable of fighting future acne outbreaks, which gets more severe as even the body’s own infection fighting bacteria is eradicated. IGY Life Sciences’s breakthrough process will specifically remove only those bacterial infections that create acne, thus leaving the rest unharmed.</p>
<p>The ImmunoDerm  Y is meant to target a chosen bacteria and control as well as prevent acne outbursts of all types. This treatment is a much better alternative than the rest as it is target oriented and does not cause severe side effects.<br />
There have been clinical trials to verify the effectiveness of this anti-body. There are a number of patents on the process and that can be applied for testing on any bacteria. This process will not only treat acne, but any other skin disease that are caused by bacteria or viral infections.</p>
<p>IGY Technologies is also claiming to treat plantar wart (Verruca Plantaris) which is a wart formed by human papillomavirus. The antibody will isolate the viral strain and identify it. A vaccine would be used (again from extraction of egg yolk) to attack the wart and eradicate it.</p>
<p>The one minor problem of this process is that of low concentration bodies mixing with residual egg fat, which slightly hampers the process. More studies and trials are on way to find an optimal solution to this and very soon this new technology will bring in a higher concentration of the needed antibody.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout our lives, we all struggle to have flawless, beautiful skin that glows and gives radiance. Many of us resort to the use of creams and facial products that give results; albeit temporary results, while the rest of us resort to the use of medications and surgical treatments. The conclusion: None of these are healthy for your skin neither for your body. They are all harsh components that strips you off the natural glow, natural oils that is essential for skin rejuvenation. Even the excessive makeup that we use often results in clogged pores that lead to the outburst of acne. So what it is that can give us beautiful skin? It’s FOOD.</p>
<p><strong>The Importance of Good Food</strong><br />
Have you ever wondered how people centuries ago managed to look beautiful despite having no access to pharmaceutical products? They were people who lived on fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and spent their time in working hard enough to sweat. We aren’t doing any of it. We are people who sit in air conditioned rooms all day, without enough exercise. Add to that the excessive intake of junk food, oily food and fast food that are not only calorific, but not in the least way healthy for a person. If you really want to have great skin by the time you turn 30 or 40, don’t wait for any product miracle. Start eating good, eating right today and you will surely have beautiful healthy skin.</p>
<p><strong>Foods Good For You</strong><br />
<strong>1). Water </strong><br />
Technically not food, but one of the main items to give your skin a beautiful look. People do not consume enough water, which is why the skin becomes dry and patched. However, excessive consumption of water could lead to water fat in the body. The ideal amount of water intake is 8 glasses a day. Water helps keep your skin healthy and rejuvenates it greatly.</p>
<p><strong>2). Green Tea</strong><br />
Green Tea is another component that is essential for good skin. It helps you sweat, it removes toxins from the body and its polyphenol property has anti-inflammatory characteristics which in simpler terms is a great anti-oxidant that keeps bacteria off your skin, making sure it doesn’t age early.</p>
<p><strong>3). Blackberries, Blueberries, Strawberries and All Kinds of Fruits</strong><br />
All the berries have amazing anti-oxidant properties that keep your skin looking good. Their anti-oxidant properties are high and the color factor in the berries contributes to giving your skin a beautiful look, keeping it radiant, hydrated and alive. <a href="http://www.acnehome.com/acne-articles/mango-and-acne.html">Mangoes</a> are also great for repairing skin cells and because they have a lot of vitamin A it is great for your skin. All other fruits, including grapefruit is also recommended.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For teenagers, prom night is one of the most important and memorable moment of their lives, therefore looking good is crucial. From getting the right dress, the right makeup to working on the ideal hairdos it is all about looking great and why not. But during that time a pimple right on the nose or the face can be a nightmare. Here are some well known remedies that can abate the skin problem.<br />
Pimples fall under the category of acne skin condition that develops when the sebaceous glands start to produce a large amount of oil that clogs up the skin pores. This causes bacteria to spread within the pores leading to acne. The list of treatments for acne are numerous however it is favorable to consult a skin specialist or a dermatologist before undergoing any kind of treatment, since acne condition varies from person to person and the effectiveness of the treatment depends on the type and severity of the condition itself.</p>
<p>Some useful tips to get rid of pimples before the big night includes; the use of steroid injections that are useful in the case of acne cysts, the injections abate the condition within a period of two days. According to the Mayo Clinic the pimple is directly injected with steroids that flatten the affected area removing the pimples immediately. For isolated marks the injections are effective however it is not a treatment recommended for widespread acne since the use of the injection carries some side effects including hypopigmentation and thinning of the skin surface. Heat based devices can also be used for getting quick results for pimple removal. The two FDA approved treatments include Zeno and Thermaclear that work by using heat within the skin surface getting rid of the problem at its root. Thermaclear works at a higher temperature therefore it is applied for 2 seconds on every pimple. Zeno on the other hand needs to be applied for 2 minutes and then at least 4 times more for the treatment to show best results.</p>
<p>According to the American Academy of Dermatology, popping, squeezing or touching of the pimples should be completely avoided since makes the condition worse and causes the acne to spread. The oil or sebum basically gets pushed in deeper making it more difficult to treat. Popping pimples can also lead to permanent scarring. Over the counter medication with a cleanser can be used instead that have shown impressive result. Benzoyl peroxide in gel or cream with a concentration of 5% should be applied directly onto the pimples. The treatment works well when it is applied on a regular basis.</p>
<p>In case the acne condition gets worse, it is advisable to go to a dermatologist who can evaluate the problem and give quick diagnosis for the condition based on the type of acne condition a person is suffering from and the extent of its severity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Acne is identified as a skin problem that develops when the pores of the skin get blocked with dirt and bacteria. There are various types of acne conditions; it can be categorized primarily into 3 types including acne cysts, acne papules and pustules. Nowadays everyone has a remedy or solution to quickly get rid of acne, however there is no guarantee that such treatments are actually helpful. For the treatment to work systematic drugs, over the counter treatments and various <a href="http://www.acnehome.com/">acne remedies</a> need to be taken regularly to show any signs of improvement and the results are usually seen after a considerable amount of time. Aside from that the degree of effectiveness of any treatment varies based on the <a href="http://www.acnehome.com/about-acne/">type of acne</a> a person is suffering from and the extent of its severity.</p>
<p>Alcohol can be considered to be an ingredient used in skin care product that help improve acne, it mostly acts as an antiseptic and one can often notice the use of alcoholic swabs that are used in labs and clinics. The downside is that alcohol alone can cause skin irritation as well as dryness, therefore it isn’t a favorable remedy for people with sensitive skin.</p>
<p>According to the health experts alcohol is often mixed and used with Acetone as a toner. It is generally used on the skin after washing the skin with a mild cleanser. The benefits of using this treatment are that it gets rid of excessive oil that blocks the pores of the skin and leads to acne. The alcohol acts as an antimicrobial removing the bacteria within the pores and clearing the surface of the skin.  This treatment can be used up to four times on a daily basis. The liquid form medication can be dipped in a cotton ball and then applied onto the affected areas. The medication should be applied away from the nostrils, eyes and lips and should not be washed after application.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the health experts acne is categorized as a recurrent and common skin condition that develops when the androgen hormone induces the sebaceous glands to excrete a large amount of oil that blocks the pores of the skin, when dirt and bacteria begins to manufacture within the pores it leads to acne development. There are various kinds of acne these include acne pustules, acne pa-pules and acne cysts. The effectiveness of any treatment depends on the type and severity of the skin condition.</p>
<p>Acne treatment for mild condition is comparatively easier since the dirt and bacteria within the pores develop closer to the skin surface, complications occur when the bacteria moves deeper into the clogged pores. Among treatments the Northwestern Health Sciences University recommends using calamine lotion. It helps reduce skin irritation, reduce acne scarring as well as abates skin rashes. Calamine lotion contains iron oxide and zinc oxide that acts fights off free radicals and improves the overall health of the skin. The lotion should be applied each night and can be applied gently onto the affected areas. The lotion should then be washed off the next day with warm water. The lotion can be applied at least three times a day.</p>
<p>Usually natural remedies, over the counter medication and various acne products can help reduce acne however in the case of painful and severe acne such treatments might not be as effective. In such cases it is advisable to consult a dermatologist or a doctor who can offer the relevant treatments for the specific acne problem. Usually dermatologists prescribe oral antibiotics such as Accutane that have a stronger dosage and need to be taken for a longer period of time. On the downside the medications carry some severe side effects that can be detrimental to one’s health.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blackheads can be categorized as a type of skin problem that is also known as acne. Blackheads develop on the skin when the pores get clogged with the excessive oil production by the sebaceous glands. They can appear on any part of the body. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) around 85% percent of people suffer from acne, it can occur at any age and any period of time. Acne breakouts can appear on parts of the body, mainly the back, face and shoulders. All kinds of treatments are available today to treat acne however the extent of its effectiveness depends on the type and severity of the condition itself. For mild <a href="http://www.acnehome.com/">acne home remedies</a> and topical treatments like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and retin A can be quite helpful. In the case of severe painful acne, dermatologists prescribe systematic drugs such as oral antibiotics that need to be taken for a longer period of time to be effective.</p>
<p>If the acne condition looks serious it is advisable to consult a dermatologist and find out about the options available for the right kind of treatment. In most cases doctors prescribe isotretinoin or <a href="http://www.acnehome.com/acne-articles/side-effects-of-accutane.html">Accutane</a> that can <a href="http://www.acnehome.com/acne-articles/adult-acne-cure.html">cure acne</a> permanently however it needs to be taken over a period of 6 months and carries some side effects such as skin dryness and irritation, joint pains, thinning of the hair and rashes.</p>
<p>Some meds free tips include regular washing of the skin so that pores remain unclogged and bacteria free. Aside from that one can alter his or her diet by avoiding trans fat and cholesterol free food that can exacerbate the acne condition. Comedogenic products or oil based products should also be avoided completely so that the acne condition does not get worse and the pores of the skin stay clean</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Benzoyl peroxide is a common over the counter medication available at stores used often to improve the acne condition. It is identified as a white crystalline material available in gel, cream and lotion form. It is applied directly onto the affected areas of the skin after washing; generally a low concentration of the medication is prescribed around 2.5-5% for mild acne. A higher concentration might be prescribed for more <a href="http://www.acnehome.com/acne-articles/severe-acne-treatment.html">severe acne</a>.</p>
<p>Some common side effects of taking the medication include dryness of the skin. One way to avoid the symptom is to first test the medication by applying a minute amount once a day and see how it responds to the skin. In case of excessive dryness and skin peel it is favorable to reduce the dosage of the medication and consult a dermatologist about the symptoms of taking the medication. Another side effect of benzoyl peroxide is the slight tingling in the acne affected areas after application of the medication. Usually the symptom goes away after several minutes. There might also be a feeling of warmth after application. In instances where the condition becomes worse it is favorable to consult a dermatologist.<br />
After application of benozoyl peroxide a person might suffer from some more serious symptoms such as swelling and blisters. This basically indicates an allergic reaction to taking the medication, the swelling can get further exacerbated and lead to redness, itching and burning of the affected areas. In such cases the medication should be discontinued and the condition should be immediately treated.</p>
<p>Usually for severe acne a high concentration of benzoyl peroxide is recommended since a lower concentration is ineffective as treatment. Using a higher concentration of the medication might lead to the above severe side effects. In case the medication is in effective it is favorable to consult a dermatologist who can prescribe another more effective form of treatment based on the person’s specific condition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When looking at a severe type of acne such as acne cysts the treatment usually requires more than over the counter medication. Acne cysts develop deep within the pores of the skin rather than the skin surface making it difficult for the dirt and bacteria to get cleared up easily. In such instances the condition can prove to be a painful and complicated condition. Popping or picking on the pimples will only exacerbate the acne and push the oil deeper making the condition a lot worse. Therefore popping or picking of the pimples should be avoided completely.</p>
<p>Usually over the counter medication such as benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid is prescribed to slowly clear away the acne however in the case topical treatments are not effective enough it is advisable to consult a dermatologist and discuss the acne condition.</p>
<p>Usually for acne cysts cortisone shots are given where cortisone is injected into the affected areas, since the body already produces cortisone the shots helps speed up the healing process and removes the oil from deep within the pores. Another treatment is the use of oral antibiotics that are prescribed for a short period of time. The antibiotics can help reduce inflammation and clear up acne affected areas. Such medication is usually more effective and generally can cure acne cysts over a period of four months. Often the body can develop resistance against the antibiotics therefore the suitability of the medication and the duration of medication should be discussed with the dermatologist. A person can also enquire with the doctor about the using accutane for treatment since the medication can help cure acne however the medication should only be used when all other treatments deem ineffective since it carries some serious risks. Laser surgery can also help get rid of the pimples then develop deep under the skin pores. Consultation over preferable treatment is necessary since laser surgery in certain cases can lead to skin rashes, irritation and scarring.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Biotin is a type of Vitamin B that is required to perform various functions in the body. Biotin is another name for vitamin B-7 which is not present in the body and need to be obtained by consuming certain food items. Egg yolk and liver is found to be rich in vitamin B-7, some other food items that contain biotin include pork, avocados and salmon. The vitamin is found in smaller amounts in raspberries and cheddar cheese. Usually biotin is not consumed by the body because biotin is easily removed when the food is cooked or stored up over time. According to studies biotin helps improve as well as maintain blood sugar levels. The vitamin also helps the effective use up of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Biotin is essential to convert proteins into enzyme. Within the cellular metabolism it helps act as a coenzyme for five other enzymes within the body. According to scientific studies biotin actually helps reduce skin irritation and different kinds of skin conditions. It also improves growth of nail and hair. Biotin supplements have also shown to increase the thickness of nails.</p>
<p>Acne is a skin condition that develops when the sebaceous glands excrete a large amount of oil that blocks the pores of the skin; leaving room for bacteria to be produced within the pores. This in turn causes acne formation. There is no research conducted that indicate acne development as a result of biotin. In case a person does suspect acne condition getting worse due to biotin consumption it is favorable to consult a doctor who can prescribe the right form of treatment for the condition. It is also advisable to discontinue food containing biotin in such instances.</p>
