subject: Get Rid Of Acne Permanently [print this page] When people get pimples for the first time they usually get it during adolescence when the hormones kick in. Sebum is a type of oil that normally lubricates the skin and hair. People tend to get pimples when the pores get clogged with too much sebum. Most of the glands that produce oil are on the nose, chin, and, forehead. Here are some things you need to do to help treat your acne breakouts.
Washing your face is very important. You should wash your face at least twice a day with warm water and a mild soap for people who have acne. Don't scrub too hard, just massage your face with circular motions.
After cleaning your face, use a lotion that contains Benzoyl Peroxide. Benzoyl Peroxide decreases oil and bacteria on the skin. You can usually purchase this at a drugstore.
It may be tempting, but don't pop the zits on your face. If you do pop the pimple, it will most likely turn red, bleed and get infected over again. It may even leave a scar.
Try not to touch your face often with your fingers as this will only spread the bacteria. Also, try and be aware of what you touch to your face. Make sure everything is clean and sanitary such as your pillowcase. If you have to wear sunglasses, keep the rims clean to avoid having your pores clogged up with dirt where the rim touches the skin.
Before going to sleep at night, remove your makeup. Also, if you are buying makeup be sure to look for brands that say they are not harmful to the skin and that will not cause your skin to break out in zits. Don't keep any outdated makeup as it will probably contain bacteria the older it gets.
Keep your hair clean and pulled back away from your face to prevent more dirt and oil from clogging up your pores. If your hair is unclean, it will be oily and that oil will transfer to your skin causing more pimples, zits and blackheads.
If your acne is not getting better with over-the-counter treatments, then it may be time to talk to a dermatologist. They can offer you a wide range of treatments that help to get rid of your acne permanently.
