7 beauty tips for acne-prone skin
Acne. Boy, I hate it. Those pimples that appeared all over my face in my teens. Even now, I get acne breakouts when I’m stressed or use the wrong skincare product. I have been to many doctors who can clear my acne, until the next breakout.
Part of the reason is oily skin. Oily skin that traps pore-clogging dirt and skin debris makes skin pores great breeding grounds for bacteria. The bacterium multiplies and that’s it. You have acne.
Not everything is lost. If you have oily skin that is prone to acne, here are 7 beauty tips to help you keep pimples away.
1. Keep your HANDS away from your face.
Your hands, after touching so many things, opening the door, picking up a bag, things we do every day, are covered in bacteria. The last thing you want is to get that bacteria on your face. Touch your face often with your hands, or worse yet, pick those pimples off with your fingers and you will see the pimples multiply.
2. Keep your HAIR out of your face.
If you have oily skin, you probably have oily hair. Brushing oily hair against the face adds to the oil. Oil, sweat, and skin are debris that are a great way to clog your skin pores, leading to more pimples. If you notice pimples appearing on your forehead, or on your cheeks and chin, typically where your hair might brush, your hair could be the culprit. Wear a hair band, use hair clips to keep hair away from your face, tie it in a ponytail, or cut your hair short.
3. Wash your face 3 times a day with a good acne cleanser.
I got that advice from a doctor. I washed my face when I woke up, at lunchtime, and at bedtime with an acne-prone skin cleanser. My skin cleared up when I followed the routine and used only skin care products meant for acne skin. A bar of soap intended for washing your face works just as well.
4. Stick to acne skin care
Every time I stray from that point, I end up with a huge acne breakout. Always. Every time I see my friends with exceptionally glowing skin, I want to wear whatever they wear. I’d switch to a richer, anti-aging skincare as a preventative measure, concerned about wrinkles appearing as I age. That fails every time. I end up with more grains. Use good acne skin care products [http://www.everythingbeauty.info/acne.htm].
5. Relax
Did you notice how pimples tend to appear more before a stressful event? exams On a big date. In presentation. Stress wreaks havoc on your skin. Ok, pimples can also appear due to hormonal imbalances, like right before your period.
6. sleep
Your skin heals itself when you sleep. Your entire body heals itself while you sleep. A sleepless night can lead to more pimples. Get used to leaving your worries behind and getting a good night’s sleep. Exercise earlier in the day. Get some exercise before night. Aid.
7. Stay away from pressed compact powder.
Yes. You heard me right. I got this advice from a friend. Her friend used a compact pressed powder to hide her acne. Instead, the more she used it, the worse she got. She just thinks. At noon, your skin becomes oily. Take out the pressed powder and use that puff to apply pressed powder to your face. Now, your face would already have dirt, bacteria, and oil. Pat yourself on the face with that powder puff and now that puff picks up dirt, bacteria and oil. You put it back in the compact. The bacteria reproduce happily there. Then you take out the compact again and apply more powder, mixed with oil, dirt and bacteria to your face, picking up more dirt, putting more dirt in the compact. The cycle continues. A better bet would be to use blotting paper to remove excess oil. Then you can throw away the paper after using it. Use the blotting paper meant for your face like the ones found on [http://www.everythingbeauty.info/blotting%20paper.htm]
As for the powder puff, make sure you wash your powder puff and all of your makeup brushes regularly, with soap and water. Then dry them completely before putting them away. I guess that would make it an eighth tip, right?
Oily acne-prone skin needs a lot of care. On the plus side, oily skin takes longer to show signs of aging than dry skin. Take care of your skin and you will probably look younger than your peers as the decades go by.
