If you suffer from acne then this article is for you. For better looking healthier skin try to take in mind these straightforward 8 rules that help you avoid breakouts and keep them controlled.
Rule no. 1: Avoid Hard and Frequent Scrubbing
Hard and frequent scrubbing with washcloths, loofahs, and chemically induced harsh exfoliators will not help get rid of acne; it will make your acne worse and cause irritation. However, since it is important to exfoliate your skin, use natural cleansers (you can also use glycerin soap) and wash your skin with tepid water, and then pat dry.
Rule no. 2: Avoid Washing Your Skin Too Often
Only wash your skin a.m. and p.m. It is very important to keep your skin clean, but washing it repeatedly can cause the skin to overly dry, become more sensitive, and therefore result in more blocked pores because of the layers of dry skin.
Rule no. 3: Keep Your Hands in Your Pocket
I know it's tempting to squeeze or pop a pimple, but messing with acne just leaves a big mess, and makes it worse! It causes more redness and can result into scars.
Rule no. 4: Keep Skin Clean from Sweat
After a nice sweaty workout, or long walk in the sun always take a shower and wash your skin with natural products (avoid chemical products).
Rule no. 5: Keep Your Hair Clean
When you do not wash your hair often enough, oil from your scalp can drip down onto your face and can contribute to causing acne. Therefore, remember to wash your hair frequently, and also change your pillow case every two days.
Rule no. 6: Hair Products to Avoid
It is absolutely important to cover your face when using any hair sprays, gel, mousse, and other products on your hair, because they can help clog up your pores.
Rule no. 7: Do not Use Products Containing Oils
If you have acne prone skin the worst thing you can do is use facial products that have unhealthy acne-initiating oils. Therefore, if you think about buying make-up, for example, pick one that is oil-free; even more so get the ones that are labeled "non comedogenic" which does not block your pores.
In addition, look for products that say glycerin, olive oil, fruit oil, AHA.
Rule no. 8: Watch for Greasy and Sugary Foods
Diet does not directly cause acne, however greasy foods that contain hydrogenated oils can make your skin worse because they trigger the production of excess oil. Prioritize your diet choices and avoid fried, greasy foods and refined sugars.
