Acne And Its Treatment

Acne is a menace. However, it’s not something that cannot be dealt with. There are plenty of acne skin care products and solutions around.

We can classify acne skin care products into 3 broad classes –

Precautionary or basic acne skin care products
Over-the-counter, specialist acne skin care products
On-prescription acne skin care products.
The basic acne skin care items are the ones that are used as acne-prevention measure. These include skin cleansers, make-up removers and related products that help protect against acne. In the real sense, these acne skin care items are just those that should anyway be part of your day-to-day routine. On the other hand, some of these are more concentrated to act like an acne skin care item. These acne skin care items act towards the causes of acne e.g. constraining the production of sebum/oil and protecting against blockage of skin tiny holes. Basically, these acne skin care items protect against the oil from getting stuck in skin pores and therefore slow down the growth of bacteria that cause to acne. The basic acne skin care items also include exfoliating products like skin chemical peels. These work towards eliminating dead skin cells, hence cutting down the probability of pore-clogging and harmful bacteria development.

Then there are specialist acne skin care products that are accessible over-the-counter i.e. without the need of a doctor’s prescription. These consist of products like vanishing creams which draw out the extra oil from the skin. Most of these acne skin care items are based on benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, both of which are the opponents of bacteria (and hence acne). You should start with a product that has lower content level of benzoyl peroxide (e.g. 5%) and see how your skin reacts to it. Alpha-hydroxy-acid based skin lotions are also popular as acne skin care items. You might have to try a few, before you zero-in on the acne skin care product that is effective for you. If nothing seems to work, you should contact a skin specialist.

On-prescription acne skin care products are the ones that are recommended by a skin specialist. This can include treatments that can be applied on the damaged area or oral prescription antibiotics or just any topical treatment method. Skin specialist could also recommend a minor surgical method to remove the contents of pustules. However, never try to press or do this by yourself, it can lead to long-lasting destruction of your skin. Your doctor could also recommend a hormone-based treatment (since hormonal changes are also known to cause acne). Such acne skin care products are known to be very effective in some cases.

So, with all those acne skin care products, dealing with acne is not that challenging.

Introduction & Features
Pakistan Motorways are a network of high-speed, limited and controlled access highways in Pakistan, maintained and operated by the National Highway Authority and Motorway Police.
Pakistan Motorways are built with piece of art technology and constructed according to International standards that make the travel comfortable and enjoyable. To check the speed limits of vehicles advanced equipment with cameras are available and you cannot over speed your vehicle otherwise the motorway police will fine you. The controlling authority (Motorway police are highly educated and well trained and deals the visitors very gently. Telephones, petrol stations, and rest point are also available on these motorways for communication and resting the travelers while traveling.
In Pakistan there are ten motorways by which four are fully operational two are under construction and planning of remaining four have been finalized. Pakistan Motorways are planned and constructed according to the International laws and consist of four to six lanes with the universal minimum speed limit 0f 80 Km/h to 100 Km/h for heavy transport vehicles, and 120 Km/h for light transport. The four-lane Motorways can be up-grated to six lanes. Pakistan Motorways are especially designed and constructed for fast moving vehicles, slow moving vehicles and animal driven carriages are not allowed. The combined length of operational Motorways of Pakistan is 679.5 Km, while 278 Km is under construction and approximately 1200 Km further planned. Let’s discuss the four operational Motorways one by one.

M-1 (1997 – 2007)

It is in Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan and 155 Km long with 108 Km in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and 67 Km in Punjab and become a central link to Afghanistan and Central Asia. It begins from northeast of Peshawar, after crossing over the Kabul River it passes through Charsadda, Sawabi, and Rashaki. It leaves Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa before crossing Indus River and enters into Punjab’s city Attock, ends at Hasan Abdal from where the state of art piece M2 Motorway starts. Travel from Peshawar to Punjab through that Motorway is very memorable and pleasurable due to its natural beauty that surrounded Motorway all the way. M1 has nine interchanges at Fatehang, Bhatar, Burhan, Rashaki, Swabi, Chachh, Charsadda.
History
Mr. Nawaz Sharif, Ex-Prime minister of Pakistan, conceived the M1.

M-2 (1992 – 1997)

The M-2 is constructed in the Punjab province of Pakistan, 367 Km long and while connecting Islamabd with Lahore passes through Kala Shah Kaku, Sheikhupura, Khanqah Dogran, Pindi Bhattian, Kot Momin, Kallar Kahar (A beautiful Picinic Spot), Balksar and Chakri before ending outside the twin cities Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
M2 is one of the most expensive motorways in Asia and has highest pillared-bridge in Asia at Khewra Range and also used by Pakistan Air Force to land or take off fighter jets at any emergeny. While travelling through M2 you did not find any type of uncomfirtability. There is no other motorway constructed in Sout Asia like M2, which is famous for its smoothness.

The Great Grand Trunk or GT Road of Mughal Empire

Let us talk about the Sarak-e-Azam or grand highway which was constructed in the Mughal’s era. Later on British ruler gave it the name of Grand Trunk Road (GT Road). Today it is known as the same name which was given by the British. It is the road which connects the North of Subcontinent with East and West. It starts from the Dhaka (Bangladesh) and ends at the Kabul (Afghanistan). It was constructed to link the 3 capitals of Mughal Empire, Delhi, Agra and Lahore. It is the oldest major road of this region.

Baber the first Mughal King got the credit to build it in the year 1520. It was built on those ways which were followed by many legends and warriors of the history like Changaiz Khan and Alexander the great. After 26 kilometers 2000 Stonecutters were used in its construction. The GT Road contains many small and big bridges on its way. Six horses clinic were also made on the sides of this road.

Regular intervals and forts could also find on its way. The lion of Afghanistan Sher Shah Suri also tried to capture this road from the Mughals. It was a great Highway which was used for the Telegraphs and trains. Many authors gave a high level of importance to this Grand Trunk of GT Road in their books and articles. Everyone uses this road as their mean of transportation. The Mughal King constructed many new cities on the sides of this road. It was the only big road which we have got after the separation from India.

The Capital city of Pakistan was built on the GT Road as well. It was then transformed into a latest highway of four lanes this road connects it with the Lahore the Ex Capital of Mughals. There are many parts of GT Road which are unchanged yet. Taxila is the living example of it where you can observe the old road without any change. Few towers and minarets were made on the GT Road to indicate the distance and intervals. Few of them are still there and tells the glory of the Mughal Empire.
