Acne is not something that anybody looks forward to experiencing. Sporting a pimple makes most of us embarrassed. Most of us feel like pimples and acne are things we should have grown out of when we left our teenage years. The truth is that, if you don't take care of your skin, acne is something that can follow you all the way through your adult years. There are even some grownups whose acne is so severe it resembles the massive breakouts experienced by kids going through puberty. Here is what you can do to keep your pores clean (and keep acne away). This article will teach you how to combat acne and breakouts.
Be gentle when you wash your face! Scrubbing is bad for you! Scrubbing your face too hard can cause damage and make it more susceptible to breakouts. The skin on your face is incredibly sensitive and easily injured so scrubbing is far more harmful than helpful. Do you really want to have a face full of scars from scrubbing? Good face washing means finding the balance between firmness and being gentle. Don't worry--it can be done! A bright red face is not the goal! Looking a little flushed is okay, but bright red is not. You want to have a healthy glow but stop short of looking like a red light bulb.
Benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can be incredibly helpful to adults whose acne is severe. These cleansers are stronger and are usually created specifically to take care of hard to fight acne. These cleansers are strong enough to damage faces who are not set up to accommodate them so, if your acne is not severe, you should choose something more gentle. Getting your severe acne under control might really be as simple as choosing a harsher cleanser when you buy your next skin care products!
Have you thought about using natural products to help you fight your acne? Did you know that toothpaste might be able to cure pimples? Put some toothpaste on your zits or pimples after they formed and then leave them alone overnight. When you wake up, you will see that the pimple or zit has gotten a lot smaller (do not try this if you have pets who roam free at night because tasting the toothpaste could make them very sick). Some people insist that egg whites can also heal acne. Either make a face mask from the egg whites and leave it on over night or dab some egg white onto a pimple with a q-tip.
You have lots of acne treatments to choose from. The range of acne treating options ranges from the totally natural to the harshly chemical. Still others insist that a simple balanced diet and getting enough exercise should be enough to keep the acne away. It might take some time before you find the remedy that works best for you. Keep at it and you will eventually find the best acne remedy for your skin. Keep trying and before you know it your skin will be acne free!
