If you are on the verge of getting acne or are already
suffering from it, here are some do's and don'ts to make things easier
for you.
The people who have had acne during any phase
of their life can still remember the pain they have gone through. The
bitter memories remind them of the humiliating and embarrassing state
suffered by them. If you are on the verge of getting acne or are already
suffering from it, here are some do's and don'ts to make things easier
for you.
Dos
1) Keep your skin clean. Never go to bed
without washing your face, at least. Sleep is the best time for the skin
to heal.
2) Drink plenty of water.
3) Remove your makeup before
you go to sleep.
4) Avoid direct sunlight.
5) Use an oil-free
sunscreen while going out.
6) Avoid direct heat. It could worsen your
acne.
7) Avoid pollution and humidity as much as possible.
8) Wear
loose clothes so as to avoid their rubbing against the skin.
9) Avoid
contact with headbands, helmet straps and other such things to minimize
friction.
10) Use cosmetics which have a water base. But try to use
minimum makeup.
11) Wash your face twice daily but don't overdo it.
Over-washing can rid your skin of essential oils.
Don’ts
1) Don't use harsh soaps to wash your
face. Mild ones are the best recommended.
2) Don't sleep with your face
placed on the pillow. It invites dust particles to settle down on the
skin.
3) Don't pick, pop or squeeze your pimples.
4) Don't use
moisturizers or creams which have an oil base.
5) Don't use facial
scrubs on the affected area.
6) Don't eat too much of oily, fried and
fatty foods.
7) Don't try to remove your pimples yourself, consult a
dermatologist.
8) Males should avoid shaving for as long as possible
and should use a new blade every time they shave.
Although there are a lot of treatments present to treat acne but by
following these do's and don'ts, the problem can at least be minimized
and at times, even avoided.
