subject: Easy Tricks to Fight Acne [print this page] Acne is not something that anybody looks forward to experiencing. Most people try to hide the acne that they suffer from. Acne, zits and breakouts are all things we hope to leave behind once we are all grown up and finished with puberty. Unfortunately, not practicing proper skin care means that your teenage acne will never fully go away. There are even some grownups whose acne is so severe it resembles the massive breakouts experienced by kids going through puberty. Here are some of the things that you can put into practice to keep acne off of your face. Read on to find out how to make your breakouts more manageable!
Make sure your hair stays away from your face.
Throughout the day your scalp produces oil which gets into your hair and then gets transferred to your face if you don't take steps to keep this from happening. Bangs are especially troublesome oil spreaders for people with acne problems so, if you want to keep your pores oil free, either grow your bangs out or keep them pulled back. We understand the appeal of long hair and bangs, but it is better to keep your hair off of your face. Braids, ponytails and headbands are the easiest ways to keep hair away from your face. Your pores will be grateful!
Take care to use beauty products that do not contain a lot of oil. Believe it or not sometimes even your facial cleanser has oil in it! Your biggest motivation for washing your face is to get the oil off of it and out of your pores! When you go shopping be sure to look at the ingredients of the different products that you buy. The simplest way to avoid putting extra oil onto your skin is to eschew the liquid based cosmetics and choose powder based cosmetics instead. When you purchase a facial cleanser, choose one that is not lotion-y and is more liquid than solid. Be careful and use your common sense!
Wash your face at least two times every day. Things can work their way into our pores even while we are sleeping. You should have a cleaning routine for your skin that you do in the morning and at night. While you don't have to put as much effort into your morning skin care routine as you do in the evening, you should do at least a quick washing and moisturizing. You'll send that acne packing!
Keeping acne away does not have to involve expensive or complicated facial care routines. Keeping your face clean is the best way to fight against breakouts and acne. Being rough on your face is a bad idea because it could cause more damage. A thorough cleansing is possible without having to resort to heavy scrubbing!
