Dear Sasha,
The year has almost come to an end, and we would like to thank all PCOS Challenge members for being a part of this community. In the two years that PCOS Challenge has been around, women have been educating themselves, supporting each other and being their own advocates in the fight against Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. In exciting PCOS Challenge news, the first episode of the PCOS Challenge television show premiered on PCOSChallenge.com on December 13, 2010. Head over to watch this intro episode and to meet the women and experts of the show. The rest of the season premieres in 2011. Stay tuned.

Acne and Acne Treatment
from The Cosmetics Cop - Paula Begoun |
|
 Whether you are struggling with frequent or infrequent breakouts, acne isn't an easy condition yet, there is very little mystery about how a pimple is created. It essentially starts with hormones causing some amount of excess oil production in the pore. For some reason, the oil cannot get out in an even flow, possibly as a result of an abnormally shaped pore. This backed up oil, along with a buildup of dead skin cells in the pore lining, form a blockage and eventually, a clogged pore. A specific type of bacteria (called propionibacterium acnes) existing in the pore thrives on the oil and dead skin cells, flourishes, and as a result causes the skin to become inflamed. The inflammation and bacteria proliferation result in a pimple (Source: Drugs, 2003, volume 63, issue 15, pages 1579-1596 and Advances in Dermatology, January 2003, pages 1-10).
