Not having good skin is a pain. Many people think that bad skin is a result of bad grooming when it is possible for a person's personal hygiene to perfect and have breakouts. Eventually every single adult will have to deal with acne.
There is no single cause for acne, which is the reason that everybody gets it. Learning how to care for our skin and keep acne at bay is part of growing up--we all have to learn to do it or we'll never grow out of the acne we faced as teenagers when we were going through puberty! Keep acne at bay by following the tips in this article.
Keep your hair off of your face.
The reason your hair should stay away from your face is that your scalp produces oil which gets transferred to your hair which can then clog your pores if your hair is in your face. If you have long hair that spends most of the day hanging in your face, the oil is easily transferred from follicle to pore which is how pimples are made. Having bangs or long hair is certainly appealing, but remember to keep it pulled up off of your face if you want to prevent breakouts. This is easiest when you wear a headband or pull your hair into a ponytail or braid. Your face will thank you!
Do your best to keep your hands away from your face. Most of us don't realize just how often we touch our faces during the day. Touching our faces is one of the reasons that pimples keep coming back. Think about this. Every time you touch something and then touch your face you are transporting some of that item into your facial pores. Your hands always have a thin layer of oil on them and when you rest your face in your hands, you are transferring that oil into your pores. Your face is a prime entry location for germs which is why touching your face is one of the ways that the flu is transmitted from others to you: you touch something that has been touched by a sick person and then touch your face: viola! you have the flu! This is just one reason why touching your face with your hands is a bad idea.
If you find that you can't help but touch your face, make sure that your hands are always clean! Keep those hands clean by washing them throughout the day!
Keep your hands away from breakouts that do happen. Acne should not ever be subject to picking or squeezing. If you do not leave your pimples alone they won't heal correctly. It is all right to wash your face and treat your breakout with some acne fighting cleanser but never ever pop or pick at your zits. Yes they will take a few days to heal naturally. What would your rather have happen? A week or so with a breakout or a lifetime with scars from it?
You have lots of acne treatments to choose from. You might be able to use a simple mask made of natural ingredients while someone else might need something so strong they need a prescription from their doctor to use it. There are even people who are able to treat their acne with only a balanced diet and regular exercise. You might not find the perfect acne remedy right away so don't be afraid to try different things. You will learn what works best for your skin and what is better left for others. Keep trying and before you know it your skin will be acne free!
