Tips To Use To Prevent Acne Inflammation

By Alan Bradd


Acne is one among many skin conditions that is mainly characterized by pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. It occurs mainly on the face because of a mixture of oil and dead skin cells that block your sweat pores. This skin condition normally occurs in teenagers but may later transgress to the earlier parts of adulthood. Here is how to fight this skin condition.

One of the best ways to prevent it is to ensure that your face is always clean by washing it twice every day. Cleaning the face everyday helps to remove impurities, dead skin cells and oil on the face. When cleaning your face, treat it kindly by using a light cloth or bare hands to wash, warm water and some gentle soap. Always rinse and dry using a clean towel.

Because of the drying impact of this skin condition, it is important to moisturize your face using a moisturizer. Make sure that you select the right moisturizer when you are shopping that minimizes dryness and prevents the skin from peeling. There are moisturizers for dry skins, oily skins, or a combination of the two.

For acne purposes, it is normally advisable to avoid using too much make up such as the powder, blush or wearing foundation. If you do, you should wash it out every night before bedtime. The chemical composition of some of the cosmetics can cause emergence of pimples and irritation on the skin. When buying make up, always look for the ones written noncomedogenic as these cannot cause acne.

The fragrances, oils and gels that you apply on your hair can cause blockage of sweat pores when they get to the face. It is important to avoid using these too. A good substitute would be a gentle shampoo and conditioner. Avoid getting the oil on your hair from reaching your face by keeping it as far away from the face as possible.

You should also not touch your face often. Touching the face can spread bacteria and cause irritation on the skin of a person who has acne. If you have any pimples on your face, use the proper treatment instead of picking or popping the pimples, which can cause scarring, and infection.

A common risk factor for this skin condition is intense rays from the sun. The rays can cause irritation on the skin of an affected person and worsen the condition. Wearing protective clothes like long pants, long sleeved shirts and a hat can help prevent the skin from getting direct rays from the sun. Sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 can also help you avoid direct sunlight when you are outdoors.

Exercise everyday to help your body perform well. Exercise has many benefits to the body and brain such as improving the basal metabolic rate and general function of the body organs. Be cautious when exercising by wearing light clothes and avoiding exercise machines that rub against your skin and shower immediately after a training session.

Additionally, make sure that you stay stress free as this has been proven to trigger acne. Avoid stressful situations in your life and deal with any anxiety that you may have. If necessary, seek the counsel of a professional to help you fight stress.
