Tips To Use To Prevent Acne Inflammation

By Alan Bradd


Acne is a rampant skin condition that is common in teenagers and young adults. Pimples, blackheads and whiteheads that mainly occur on the face and sometimes shoulders normally characterize it. This skin condition occurs when oil mixes with dead skin cells and blocks your pores.

Make sure that you keep your face clean every day by washing it twice to remove impurities, dead skin cells and oil. Apply precautionary measures when treating your skin by using a light cloth to wash your face and a gentle soap. The water should be lukewarm rather than hot, then rinse and dry with 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.

When using make up, try not to apply it in excess. If you are prone to be affected, avoid using powder, blush or wearing foundation, but if you cannot avoid it, wash the make up every evening before you go to sleep. There are cosmetics available that have the word "noncomedogenic" written on their labels. This means that they cannot cause acne.

It is also important to keep your hair away from your face to avoid acne. Some of the fragrances, oils, and gels that you apply on the hair can cause the sweat pores to block when they touch the face. Instead of these, you can just use a gentle shampoo and conditioner when washing your hair.

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.

The sun is also a major factor for the inflammation of acne. You should avoid intense sunlight when you are outdoors, or buy protective clothing such as long pants, long sleeved shirts, and a hat to prevent the intense rays from the sun from reaching your skin. You can also use sunscreens labeled noncomedogenic when you are in the sun.

Doing exercise is also important when dealing with this skin condition. There are many benefits of exercise such as improving the basal metabolic rate as well as assisting in the general function of all the body organs, including the skin. Wear light clothes when exercising, and avoid machines that rub against your skin; then shower as soon as you are done.

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.
