Here is a
final checklist of valuable
acne prevention methods:
-
Find a regimen and
stick with it -
Pick your
medication and
treatment method
and do not deviate
from it unless you
achieve measurable
results or find
that the condition
is worseninge
prevention .
-
Don’t use alcohol -
Do not use
products, like
toners, if they
contain heavy
concentrations of
isopropyl alcohol.
This can do more
damage than good.
-
Don’t over-wash -
With the myth of
dirt being a cause
of blemishes or
acne, cut down the
times you wash. Two
should be the limit
each day. Anymore,
and you risk
increasing the
breakouts you have.
-
Choose skin
products carefully
- Don’t get harsh
or abrasive scrubs
that can tear the
skin and further
aggravate the acne.
-
Wash after
exercising - Don’t
forget to hit
shower after you’ve
had a workout. The
friction and
moisture caused by
clothing rubbing
against the skin
can create the
perfect conditions
for acne
production.
-
Avoid constant
touching or picking
at your face - This
is pretty
self-explanatory.
These activities
can cause bacteria
to get into pores
and cause acne
to form.

KEEPING ACNE
AWAY
Because a good skincare routine can only do so
much, here are other ways you can control angry
red outbreaks of acne.
Eat a sensible
diet
The build up of toxins in your system can
manifest itself into your skin, load up on
fresh vegetables, fruit and drink lots of
water.
Hands
off
Picking at your pimples will spread the
bacteria as well as lead to permanent scarring.
Leave your pimples alond and they will respond
to treatment and heal faster.
Relax
Treat your skin to
ample rest every night as this will allow it to
regenerate and heal from the day's stress. It
also helps to not let work stress affect you
too much as this sends hormones into overdrive
and may cause outbreaks. Acne may indicate a
deficiency so take your vitamin and mineral
supplements regularly to keep your skin in
tip-top shape.
Chose the right
makeup
Use non-comedogenic products
that do not clog your pores and make sure you
cleanse religiously at the day's end. Water
based and oil-free makeup will be your best
bet.
Maintain a good
skincare routine
Use an antibacterial sulphur benzoyl peroxide
or glycolic/sulphuric acid-based facial
cleanser twice a day and follow up with a toner
to remove excess oil after cleansing. Also
avoid using rich, moisturising creams that can
clog your pores and opt for oil-free,
water-based ones instead.
