BYE BYE ACNE!

It can take years  and dozens of trips to the dermatologist to discover how to get rid of acne in a way that works for your skin. And no matter how much you’ve invested in your skin care routine, most of us will still battle the occasional breakout anyway.

In sum, we all get pimples. But outside of that one unifier, how to actually deal with acne is going to look different from person to person. Everyone has unique skin types, skin tones, lifestyles, and genetic histories, and that makes it impossible to identify a single piece of one-size-fits-all advice.

Learn 6 basic tips to get rid of acne :

1. Wash your face everyday.

• Cleansing and treating your skin twice a day is the best way to get rid of pimples and keep future breakouts away. For those emergencies when you’re just too tired to wash your face, keep a stash of face wipes in the drawer of your nightstand. This way if you get home super late and don’t feel like going all the way to the sink, you can still go to bed with clean skin!

2. Use a mild face cleanser.

• Buying a generic face wash won’t necessarily improve your complexion. For a cleanser to be most effective, you have to pay attention to your skin’s needs and pick the ingredients accordingly. Washing once or twice a day with a mild cleansing bar or liquid will keep the skin clean and minimize sensitivity and irritation.

3. Regularly change your face towel.

• Using dirty towels can harbor bacteria, and they can even introduce new bacteria to your skin, which may lead to more pimples. So, keep on changing a new towel for the next routine unless you truly wash off your makeup for the previous routine.

4. Moisturize your skin.

• If you think when moisturizing your skin makes your acne worse? You are wrong. Because, by hydrating your skin surface can re-balance oil glands and help control acne and improve healing. So, we recommend you to buy light-weight products that won’t clog pores. 

5. Never forget your sunscreen.

• Sunscreen is a must for all skin types. Even though you are not exposed to direct sunlight, you still have to protect your skin from blue-light damage. But, I believe some sunscreen products can trigger breakouts. So, please find a water-based and non comedogenic formula that won’t clog pores.

6. Monitor your meals.

• Any foods that cause a spike in insulin can lead to inflammation and an acne flare up. Eating leafy green vegetables and other bright colored fruit and vegetables which are rich in antioxidants and nutrients can dampen inflammation and improve skin quality. Therefore, please reduce dairy product intake because it contains hormones and antibiotics that can worsen acne breakouts.
