7 Ways to Keep Pimples at Bay
Time to speak the truth, pimples are a pain in the butt. They're ugly, irritating, embarrassing, intrusive, and undesired. The problem is, most of us add unnecessary bacteria and oil to our skin's surface without noticing, thereby fueling the pimple fire. This can be easily side-stepped by taking note of the following measures:
KEEP YOUR FACE CLEAN
Allowing excess sebum to form under the skin leads to clogged pores, which in turn trap oil, grease, and bacteria!the primary breeding ground for pimples. It is imperative your face is washed once or twice a day with a natural cleanser that will not irritate your sensitive skin.
STOP POPPING
Irrespective of the satisfaction gained from popping pimples, please resist the urge. Popping pimples causes toxins to be suppressed deep into the skin thereby increasing swelling, redness, and scarring.
FINGERS AWAY FROM THE FACE
It is best to avoid touching your face unless necessary. Your fingers are the primary external depositors of bacteria, which cause the pores to become inflamed in the first place. In a similar fashion, glasses carry oil which clogs pores and because they have direct contact with your face you should keep them clean at all times.
GIVE THEM AIR
If you are someone who develops body acne easily try to refrain from wearing tight clothes that restrict the ability of your skin to breath. Also refrain from scarves, headbands, and caps as they gather dirt and oil, thereby increasing the likelihood of causing irritation.
DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKEUP ON
It is also vital to wipe off makeup before going to sleep in order to avoid unnecessary oil buildup. Also, only apply makeup that 100% natural or 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' in order to limit unwanted irritation with your skin.
TIE UP YOUR HAIR
Your hair should always remain clean and off your face so as to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.
WEAR SUNSCREEN
It is vital to protect your skin from the sun. Exposure to UV rays ignites the production of additional amounts of sebum, which in turn, propagates acne outbreaks.
Following these 7 steps will ensure pimple attacks are a thing of the past. However, if you are fighting with current acne outbreaks, or you have prominent acne scarring you might need to engage the assistance of a natural skin care solution.
