Contrary to Filipinos’ belief, acne breakout is not a result of being in love or having crush on someone. The number of crushes
Acne breakout has long been proven as a consequence of being exposed to dirt, stress, and a skin care mismatch combined.
Skin care experts and medical professionals have developed various way of curing acne. This may come in forms of an over-the-counter remedies, prescription drugs, or treatments such as facials, pricking, peeling, and lasers.
However, for people who want to get rid of esteem-threatening acne, but on a tight budget, acne breakout can be cured before it even started.
- Wash your face daily
Ask all beauty experts and celebrities about their skin care routine and they will all answer the same thing—they never sleep with their makeups on.
Washing your face daily is inarguably the primary step in keeping an acne-free skin.
It is important to note that one must wash his or her face at least twice a day—in the morning before putting on makeup to hydrate the face and again at night before getting into bed.
Cleansing your face cleans the dirt, oil, and other impurities that may clog pores and lead to acne breakouts.
- Keep it moisturized
Acne and other skin problems start to pop up when skin is too dry or too oily. Washing may help, but it may also pull away much of the necessary oils in the skin.
It is important, however, to know what kind of moisturizer matches your skin type. According to dermatologists, people who have oily skin may opt to use a moisturizer with exfoliant ingredient. On the other hand, a cream with higher oil content matches dry skin types.
Moisturizers will not only avoid breakouts, freshly moisturized skin even out skin to hide unwanted blemishes.
- Never, ever pick
Even if it’s on the verge of having a breakout, be kind and gentle to your skin. Picking might appear as a quick solution to get rid of acne, but it can make things worse.
Pimple zits are filled with bacteria. Picking an acne might just result to bigger problems as bacteria may spread and get into other pores, leading to more acne.
- Fight the spots
There are days when acne just seem to be uncontrollable, but this should not be cause of worry because you can always heal them up quickly. When this happens, one may opt to go for a spot treatment by applying salycic acid or benzoyl peroxide to the blemishes.
Spot treatment reduces sebum production, removes oil and bacteria, and remove dead skin that mainly cause acne breakouts. These treatments work by drying out the zit to help speed up the process.
- Find your match
As mentioned earlier, a lot of counter-acne products have been developed and put in the shelves. However, a product that works for others do not necessarily mean it will be effective to solve your woes.
There are many different facial cleansers, toners, creams, and moisturizers, but
check what fits your skin type the most.
Some products are specifically effective for oil or dry skins. Seeking doctor’s advice may always come in handy.
- Start in the kitchen
You heard that right. Diet should be considered as an essential part of skin care routine. Contrary to hearsays, chocolates do not directly cause acne so you can continue to indulge yourself. However, always take note of how much is too much. Chocolates’ dairy and sugar can cause acne. You may opt to patronize chocolates with 70-percent cocoa content to achieve a healthier skin
Moreover, vitamins found in fruits and vegetable can make your skin look clear and nourished.
