Those annoying red and at times burning swelling that pop up either on your face or body (you know what I mean....acne) can be embarrassing, irritating, confidence deflating and a whole lot of emotions that I can't write about now. They then to pop up when you have something important or when they decide that it is time for them to show their presence and reminder you that you always suffer from acne (at least that is what I feel, you might feel differently).
Acne is as a result of excessive oil mixing with dead skin cells and clogging the pores of your skin. This allows bacteria to be trapped with the dead skin cells and inflame the surface of your skin causing acne. Having acne (especially those large sized and painful ones) is not a spectacular feeling that most acne sufferers want to bear.
This causes a lot of acne sufferers to wish there was a magic wonderful potion that one can either drink or apply on one's face and in a jiffy all your acne is gone in poof (I know I do). However if wishes were horses, beggars would fly.
In other words I don't think there is any magic potion that can cure your acne but there are certain ways to prevent acne and make your skin acne free. This ways can help prevent your acne making you feel more confident than you would have been if you were terribly affected by acne. These ways are simple and do not cost you anything except a little of discipline.
The following steps help in achieving a blemish free skin, they are :
1. Let your skin breath a little: There is a tendency for most acne sufferers to wash their face a lot of times during the day but it is advisable that you wash your face with lukewarm water like 3-4 times a day and with mild soaps like baby soap. Do not scrub your face with harsh scrubs as they cause a lot of harm rather than good to your face. Always use a soft towel to pat your face dry.
2. Don't pick your acne: I am sure you have heard about this from a lot of people but the temptation sometimes is just too great. However you should know that picking or squeezing your acne allows more to come as you force bacteria deeper into your skin leading to inflammation and this could lead to a permanent scar being left behind. So next time you feel like picking your acne remember that you might be inviting more to come.
3. Avoid using comedogenic make-up: This applies to ladies only. When shopping for make-up always go for those that are non-comedogenic (i.e do not cause acne) and when buying moisturizers, get those that are oil free and of course non-comedogenic. Also when exercising, try to restrict your usage of make-up to the barest minimum.
4. Don't overexpose your skin to the sun: Small amounts of sun may improve your acne but it may not be permanent. It is not advisable to constantly expose your skin to the sun as this may lead to the drying of your skin allowing the sebaceous glands in your skin to produce more oil and thereby lead to the production of more acne. Always use sunscreen or products with SPF factor of at least 15 or more and are effective against UVA and UVB rays and try to restrict your exposure to the sun.
A very essential step in preventing acne is finding a treatment plan/product that suits you and sticking to it even when your face has been acne free for a year.
I hope you try to be a little more self disciplined and try to follow the tips I have given to you. Trust me your skin would thank you for it and your self confidence would shoot up to the sky.
