Everyday someone somewhere wakes up to a new case of acne
. Many people who suffer from acne also have low self esteem and think negative thoughts about themselves. So in order to help people who are suffering with this condition I'm going to show you how you should was your face. Why you need to stop popping pimples and touching your face, and how makeup may be contributing to you acne.
Many people wash their face vigorously. This is a mistake. Wash the affected area gently and use a very soft soap. Many people use solutions that are rough in texture and scrub really hard. If you scrub your face really hard you might be making your problem worse because this irritates your skin. Just relax and gently massage the affected area with a very mild soap and pat dry with a soft towel. This is my first out of 3 easy tips to heal your acne.
My next easy tip to help heal your acne is do not touch the acne or pop the pimples. When you pop pimples you release the infection inside your acne into your bloodstream and the surrounding tissues. Touching your acne also spreads bacteria from your hands to your face resulting in more acne. Especially avoid touching the acne around your lips and and nose area. The skin here is very sensitive and you will most likely irritate your acne and cause it to look worse.
Make sure the makeup you are using is oil free. When you apply oil based products to your skin they can seep into the pores and cause them to clog resulting in more acne. Try to find products that are water based. Just simply look at the concealer, blush, or whatever makeup product you are thinking about purchasing and read the ingredient section. Most products say if they are oil or water based so this shouldn't be a huge issue. If you not sure just put it back on the shelf. It's not worth your face.
If you incorporate these tips into your everyday routine yous will be notice that the time it takes for your acne breakouts to heal will go down tremendously. Just remember to be gentle with your face when your washing it. Make sure you never pop your pimples and try to touch your face as little as possible, and remember do not use oil based lotions and makeup. Just pick up the bottle and read its that simple.
