Alleviate Your Acne Although many people believe that acne is just a part of growing up, there are a lot of things that you can do to avoid making breakouts worse.
The most important thing to remember is not to touch your face. Your hands are probably one of the dirtiest parts of your body. Every time you place them on your face, you transfer all the dirt and bacteria from your hands to your face. In addition, if you squeeze your pimples, the bacteria inside them will spread, and your breakout will be even worse.
Wash your face thoroughly once or twice a day with soap. Be careful when you are washing your face. No matter how rigorously you wash your face, you can only clean your skin’s surface. Use your finger tips to massage your face. If your face is already irritated and experiencing a breakout, don’t use exfoliating products. The rough beads in them could make acne worst by further irritating your skin.
When it comes to selecting skin care products like soaps and moisturizers, there are many affordable choices at your local store. Doctors say one of the best over-the-counter medications you can use for your acne is benzoyl peroxide. Everyone’s skin is different, so no one product will work for every acne sufferer. Listen to what your skin is telling you and apply products accordingly.
There is no scientific evidence that suggests any food causes acne. In the past, people have blamed chocolate, greasy foods, nuts, and even soda for breakouts. If you notice a connection between your diet and acne, you may want to change what you eat.
