5 Secrets You Should Know That Help Cure Acne

For people who suffer from acne, it is very important for them to get to know how to take care of their skin. If you suffer from acne, you probably know by now that there are some things you need to be very careful about in order not to breakout more and to keep your skin as healthy- looking as possible. I want to share with you 5 basic suggestions, which will help you in your fight against your acne.


1. Use Sunscreen for protection against the sun and harsh weather

It is sometimes believed that exposure to sunlight helps with getting rid of acne, however it is not entirely true; in fact, radiation pollutants and extremely dry skin will make you breakout even more. When you use sun block (SPF 15-30 will do, unless if you're going to spend the entire day on a beach/outdoors you can use higher SPF) you will help protect your skin from the sun and the wind.

If your skin is oily try to find an oil-free sunscreen, if your skin type is normal to dry you can even use a moisturizer with your sun -block.

2. Exfoliating Regularly

In order to help your skin clear away the excess build-up of dry skin that causes blockage of pores and further breakout and even causes wrinkles, it is very important that you exfoliate your skin regularly. Exfoliation is a natural process of your skin as it gets rid of the outer skin. Some people are genetically exposed to the slowing down of this natural process causing them to be more prone to acne. Therefore using the right kind of exfoliation for your skin-type will help your skin to speed up this process, and prevent blocked pores. There are a number of methods used for exfoliation:

3. Carefully Choose Your Soap or Face Wash

You have to absolutely be careful not to over dry your skin by using the wrong types of soaps. There are a lot of products out there that seem to not just clear up the oil, but to extremely dry your skin, which as you might know causes more oil production and more breakouts. What you therefore need is a glycerin or sorbitol based soaps that also help to balance your skin pH.

4. Vitamin C and Water

It is very important that you get the whole 8 glasses of water every day. And to boost your immunity you will need a Vitamin C supplement (1000mg/day... check with physician for right dosage for you), unless you're allergic to it.

5. Cutting Back Sugar Is the Best Key
