Luckily
there are a number of things you can do everyday to make sure your skin is less prone to flare ups. Here are five tips for taking control of your acne starting today.
1. Exercise - Keeping in shape can help fight acne by fighting off negative stress levels that can come from negative self-esteem and depression. However
some safeguards need to be in place to ward off acne that can result from your workout routines. Watch what you put on your body with regards to clothing
sports gear and equipment.
For example
tight lycra and nylon exercise outfits might look great in the movies and on magazine models
but if you are susceptible to acne problems
avoid these synthetic fabrics that tend to trap in body moisture and heat resulting in a bacteria frenzy. Instead
choose loose clothing made of cotton or natural blends to allow more air to get to your skin.
And when you are finished with your workout
get out of clothing wet from perspiration or water sports. Shower and change into dry
clean clothing. And keep your sports gear and equipment clean
too. Dirty headgear
for instance
can irritate forehead areas prone to acne problems. So toss headbands into the washing machine after workout sessions.
2. Cosmetics - To avoid pore-clogging and skin irritations that are similar to acne and that can contribute to acne
use products labeled noncomedogenic or oil-free. Shimmering facial colors can contain a flaky mineral called mica that can cause skin irritations and clog pores. Other additives in coloring that can cause similar reactions are coal tar derivatives
carmine and heavy cream in blushes.
More preventative measures include using a lip gloss that promotes a matte finish instead of a high gloss for less pore-clogging; note the more the shine
the more then comedogenic content and the more the pores can clog. Beware that eye creams can contain heavier concentrations of moisturizers than regular creams and lotions
meaning they have greater potential to clog pores in the surrounding facial areas.
3. Diet - Studies show that diet does not play a role in either the cause or the treatment of acne. However
what is recommended for acne preventative care is this: what is best for your body is best for your skin
especially since your skin is the largest organ of your body. So remember to watch your diet and consume healthy vitamins
minerals and other supplements. This will help to prevent and help conquer acne breakout.
4. Hygiene - A healthy skin regimen should include no harsh scrubbing or over-washing
because this can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil to replace what has washed off
clogging pores in the process. Products with gentle exfoliation ingredients are OK to use; i.e. not scratchy nut or fruit shell pieces that can tear skin. And skip alcohol products when possible; these can take off the top layer of your skin and cause your glands to product more oil
clogging pores in the process.
If you do spot acne-troubled areas
do NOT mess with them. Remember that these are already weeks in the making
and squeezing or picking blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside
further troubling the region and possibly leave a scar. If necessary
seek help from a dermatologist for alternative treatments.
5. Shaving - Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or removing dead skin to help with the prevention and spreading of acne instead of leaving the remains to clog pores. And for some light acne cases already in process
shaving can help rid whiteheads and blackheads from the face. A word of caution: for areas with infection or high inflammatory activity (redness
sensitive
open acne
sores
etc.)
do not shave. Or at the very least
use a shaving cream for sensitive skin!
