Baby acne and acne during pregnancy treatments

I know how difficult it can be to live with acne. Acne is not something that I enjoyed when I had it. It always seemed impossible to cure and immune to all the creams, pills, etc that I would take to fight it. However, after learning some good natural remedies I now know that acne is pretty easy to cure. The reason that acne seems impossible to cure is because so many people out there are offering the wrong type of advice that just doesn't work.
To treat baby acne, it is important to understand what it is first. With adult acne, your body produces hormones, which will stimulate to sebaceous glands to produce more oil. The oil production begins in your follicles and as your hair grows, it brings it out through the layers of the skin. The follicles become clogged with oil and bacteria and your skin becomes inflamed. In baby acne, it begins much the same only the hormones cross the placenta during birth and then stimulate the baby's sebaceous glands. Your baby's skin is irritated by those hormones and that is when the little pimply bumps occur. It can occur in one area or all over the body. Baby acne can also be caused by certain medications or if nursing, by ingesting something that is in the breast milk that could cause acne to flare up. When flared up, looks like little whiteheads and the skin may be red.
Always consult your local health practitioner and doctor before you commence any tanning and in particular before you start to frequent a tanning salon. When using tanning beds it is recommended to have regular skin and cancer check ups.
