all, first thing you have to know is - acne is a normal skin problem
common with teenage and even adult so don't be embarrassed, skin care
product can help you, but they don't play a big role, i do believe skin
care can prevent acne and help you a lot, but you cannot just wait for
your skin care to stop all acne to come back, Lifestyle, Diet play a
role too you know,
Some step may help to "Prevent" acne
-1- Exercise regularly to increase circulation to your skin. Shower as
soon as possible after every exercise session, as the sweat can build up
and clog your pores. If you are unable to shower, wash your face
thoroughly.2-Wash your face twice every day to prevent pimples,
blackheads and whiteheads. Use a mild soap or facial cleanser and wash
your face gently to avoid irritating your skin. Include your neck, back,
shoulders and any other areas affected by acne. Don't wash too often,
as excessive rubbing can make your acne worse.3-Use water-based skin
care products and cosmetics or products marked "non-comedogenic," which
means they won't clog your pores. Avoid skin care products that contain
oils or lanolin. Replace your makeup regularly and avoid using old
products. Use makeup sparingly and go without as often as you can.
Remove your makeup before you go to bed.4-Protect your skin from
sunlight using an oil-free sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher.
Although sun exposure can help prevent acne outbreaks, it's important to
protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun. Avoid sunlight
during the middle of the day, as too much exposure will burn your skin
and exacerbate your acne.5-Pull your hair away from your face with a
rubber band or a headband as often as possible if you have oily hair, as
the oil from your hair will exacerbate your acne. Tying your hair up
loosely at night will help to keep oily hair away from your skin while
you sleep6-Eat nutritious foods that will keep you and your skin
\healthy. Eat a variety of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and use
sugar, fried foods, caffeine and highly-processed foods in moderation.
Although foods don't cause outbreaks of acne, you should avoid any food
if you think that food is making your acne worse.7-Drink plenty of
water. At least 8 large glasses of water every day will keep your skin
hydrated.8-Launder your towels every day. Wash your sheets and
pillowcase at least once every week, although two to three times per
week is better if you have oily hair or skin. Using soiled towels and
pillowcases can transfer the acne-causing bacteria back to your skin.
Tips:
Discuss your acne problem with your health care provider or a
dermatologist if your acne gets worse, or if your skin becomes painful,
itchy or inflamed. Your doctor may be able to prescribe a medication or
medicated skin-care product that will help prevent acne breakouts.
Things You'll Need
Mild soap or facial cleanser Water-based or non-comedogenic
cosmetics and skin-care products Oil-free sunscreen Rubber bands
or headbands (easy right?)For young teen or preteen only use skin care
facial cleanser, try to not use too much of skin care product when
preteen, you don't need that much, but if you need to then just go with
the "Easy 3-step" Cleansing - toner - Moisturize - easy 3 step is a
basic skin care routine for teenage or even adult,
Always
remember to Maintaining Hygiene, Whenever you touch your face, or
washing your face, you don't want to wash your face with dirty hand
right?? wash your hand first before touching your face, wash your face
gently and with warm water. The heat will open your pores and the
temperature is better suited to clean than cold water. Make sure your
water is not too hot so you don't burn your skin. While there are many
good skin care systems available, make sure you use the right face wash
for your type of skin (oily, dry, combination or normal). Drier skin
needs face wash that doesn't rob it completely of oil, while oily skin
needs a stronger-than-usual formula to reduce oily, some cleansing are
for oily skin or acne-free or even acne wash that comes with a formula
best for oily, acne prone skin, also remember that not product are BEST,
but they might work BEST on your skin but not others, so try to pick
the right one for you,
Moisturize after each face wash.
Moisturizing your skin is just as important as washing it. When you
wash your face, you strip it of oils and moisture, and that's the point:
those oils that clog your pores are no longer there to give you acne.
But your skin is an organ, and it needs moisture. Help it replenish that
moisture by moisturizing after each wash.Depending on your skin type,
you may want to choose a different moisturizer:Oily skin: Choose a
gel-based moisturizer. Gel-based moisturizers are usually better for
oily-skin, as they provide essential moisture without overdoing it.Dry
skin: Choose a cream-based moisturizer. Cream-based moisturizers are
heavier and longer-lasting than gel-based ones. Doctors usually
recommend these for skin that needs something a little more heavy-duty
Exfoliate
once a week. Exfoliating means gently wiping off the outer layer of the
skin (called the "epidermis") in order to help slough off dead skin and
unclog pores. See if exfoliating once a week improves the complexion of
your skin. You can buy a commercial exfoliating product, or you can
make one on your own. Whatever you do, don't over-exfoliate. Exfoliating
once a week is plenty. Exfoliate is very important to, but remember
don't exfoliate to much it will make acne become worse,
Never
go to sleep with makeup on. If you wear makeup, get into the habit of
removing it before you go to bed. It's a hassle, for sure, but makeup
that stays on your face can clog pores, leading to acne. If you know
you're prone to leaving makeup on and you don't want to go through the
hassle of washing your face, invest in some skin-cleaning wipes that you
can use in a pinch.
Wash your pillowcases at the end
of every week. The oils on your pillowcases can cause acne by spreading
dirt, grime, and dead skin. Think about having two pairs of pillowcases
that you can switch out at the end of each week so that you don't find
yourself doing laundry every week.
Pay attention to
your hair routine, especially if your skin is oily. How you treat your
hair can have a big impact on acne, especially around your forehead.
Your scalp releases natural oils to keep your hair lustrous. But too
much oil in and around your scalp, while healthy for your hair, can be
dangerous for your skin. For this reason, wash your hair at least every
other day. Try to strike a good balance between healthy hair and healthy
skin.Watch out about applying too much product in your hair. Gels,
mousses, and sprays can get into the pores of your skin, clog them, and
create pimples. Be selective about how much product your put into your
hair, especially if you have acne around your forehead.
like
i say diet play a role too so,Drink a lot of water! Yes, water is very
important to stay hydrated, Staying hydrated may help you maintain your
clear skin. While there is conflicting scientific evidence supporting
the claim that "water helps clear toxins out of your body," most
scientist agree that drinking water is net-beneficial to your skin
instead of net-neutral or net-negative. You don't need to necessarily
drink eight glasses of water per day, but drink enough to replenish what
you might have lost in exercise, and drink when you are thirsty.
Eat
healthy, like veg and fruit, and vitamin, zinc, and Omega, also can
change a big difference to your skin, "What you eat, what your face will
be or become" mean - For example : If you eat Veg and fruit they are
good food that you will see on your face soon, but if you eat junk food
or even oily food you properly will have that kind of face, but this not
mean you cannot eat you favorite food any more, this mean you need a
balance diet more good food you eat more your face will improve, that;s
all, and stay away from alcohol and smoking, of cause that if you do
such thing your face will show you, for me my face is a mirror so what i
eat and do, my face will show me,
remember to sleep a lot, and exercise, it help to cut down on stress,
try using acne product that help prevent acne,
benzoyl
peroxide, Benzoyl peroxide is used to kill the bacteria that cause
acne. Benzoyl peroxide comes in different concentrations, but studies
show that benzoyl peroxide with a 2.5% concentration is just as
effective as 5-10% solutions while being less irritating to the skin.
Additionally, benzoyl peroxide helps peel away layers of dead skin on
the epidermis, leaving brighter, more rejuvenated skin in its place.
Use
salicylic acid. Like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid kills bacteria
responsible for pimple growth. It also causes skin cells to shed more
rapidly, promoting the growth of new skin. Put small amounts of
salicylic acid onto affected areas before you go asleep, after you have
washed your face.
Consider using tea tree oil. While
this isn't specifically bottled for acne, it's nonetheless a very
effective home remedy. Tea tree oil has anti-inflammatory properties
that can make the redness and size of pimples less noticeable.In one
study, tea tree oil proved to be just as effective as benzoyl peroxide
in reducing inflamed lesions of acne patients.Because tea tree oil is
very strong, dilute it first in a little bit of water before applying to
the skin with a Q-Tip or similar instrument. Too much tea tree oil may
irritate skin.
If things get serious, consult your
doctor. A dermatologist is trained to spot and treat skin disorders. The
doctor may recommend a prescription containing clindamycin phosphate or
benzoyl peroxide, both very popular acne deterrents. Prescription
strength medicines are often much stronger than solutions you can buy
over the counter.
last is lifestyle, you don't need to
be rich or fancy house or anything (but this also help) just try your
best to be clean, try not to live at place with many cars smoke/gas, and
try not to stay close to the sun for to long, eat healthy, beauty
sleep, good skin care routine, and many more you can put this in your
lifestyle, as long you put this step in your lifestyle you will see your
skin improve much better, Last Tips : You can't STOP it like "Forever"
or anything, But you CAN help it, there's a lot of way to help your
problem no matter what it is, you can CONTROL it, You have to power to
control you skin, you may think you don't have what it's take, but if
you put simply step in your lifestyle, and willing to try, and believe,
you can do anything.. trust me, nobody is PERFECT, that mean nobody have
PERFECT SKIN to, as long you can control it you already beautiful ~
