Top 10 Tips for Avoiding Acne
You're Not Alone. More than 80% of us will have acne at some
point in our lives. Many people will continue to have acne as
adults. There are several factors that play a role in acne such
as genetics, hormones, stress and using synthetic skin care
products. The tips below will help in your ability to achieve
clear, healthy skin.
1. Use natural skin care products to cleans your pores and
minimize new blemishes from forming. Cleansing your face every
day with the right skin care products is the first and most
important step to achieve clear, healthy skin.
2. Always use a clean washcloth every time you wash your face.
Acne causing bacteria can quickly form on damp washcloths and
transfer back to your skin the next time you use it. You must
use a clean washcloth ever morning and night.
3. Keep hair and hands off your face. Both contain excess dirt
and oils that transfer to your face causing pores to clog and
bacteria to grow. Keeping your pores clean is critical to your
success in fighting acne.
4. Drink lots of water and eat a balanced diet including fruits
and vegetables. A healthy diet is important for great skin and
water helps to flush away toxins while hydrating your skin.
5. Don't pick! Picking at or pinching blemishes transfers excess
oils and will cause deeper acne lesions which may scar. The best
strategy is to get your acne under control fast by using a
chemical-free cleanser every morning and night.
6.
Acne on the back and shoulders can be aggravated by wearing
clothing that doesn't allow the skin to breathe. Always wear
"breathable" fabrics like cotton and shower immediately after
workouts to remove excess sweat, dirt, and oils.
7. Your skin reflects your overall health and well being. It is
important to manage stress levels by getting enough sleep. Your
skin needs rest to rebuild and repair itself. Exercise will help
to reduce stress while maximizing oxygen delivery to the skin.
8. Women should not use heavy, oil-based lotions and makeup. It
is important to only use oil-free makeup that allows your skin
to breathe. Oil-based makeup can trap synthetic chemicals and
oil in your pores causing bacteria and acne to form.
9. Avoid excess consumption of refined sugar and nutritional
supplements that contain iodine. Your body needs to work hard to
process these sugars and studies have show a correlation between
diets high in refined sugar and acne.
10. Don't smoke. Not only is it bad for your lungs, it can also
affect your skin's health and ability to heal. Smoking can dry
out your skin and also cause wrinkles!
