I want to share with you my effective and simple ways to control acne:
Controlling your acne is almost as better as not having acne at all. Controlling your acne will help you to minimize the risk of acne outbreaks. It is important that you take care of your acne and avoid certain things which may worsen your acne condition. Following are some tips and ways to control your acne.
Include a variety of seeds, vegetables, nuts and fresh fruit in your diet is a good control for acne.
Drink plenty of water every day to keep your skin from dehydrating. Dehydrated skin sheds dead cells that can lead to clogged pores.
Most of the skin care products have chemical ingredients in them that can aggravate the acne. If you use make-up too often then try the products that are non-comedogenic.
Keeping your stress levels low helps to reduce the release of stress hormones which in terms reduce the intensity of acne.
Remove dairy products and red meat from your diet as it can cause acne. Heavily tanned skin can also lead to blocked skin pores.
Following are some of the acne control guidelines that are recommended by The American Academy of Dermatology.

Avoid all oil based products.
Give the anti-acne products the time to clear up the lesions. This can even mean several weeks or months.
