Tips And Techniques For Successful Acne Treatment
Acne is not just the bane of adolescents. Adults can also have ongoing skin problems for which they haven’t been able to find a solution. Here are some tips to help people of all ages manage acne problems. There are some things that you can try at home, as well as using non-prescription remedies. You can bring up any ideas that you feel may be helpful to you, with your doctor.
If back acne is an issue for you, then you may want to change your body cleanser. Opt for cleansers that contain salicylic acid or those geared toward clearing up acne and use these when you shower, once a day. Also, be sure to shower soon after vigorous exercise or physical activities, to avoid having the dirt and bacteria clog up your pores.
To clear up already existing acne, try using cucumbers. Cucumbers contain natural antioxidants, which aid in getting rid of acne. To make a cucumber scrub, begin by slicing the cucumber in half. De-seed it, add it to 1-2 tablespoons of Sesame oil and blend it together. Then, use a washcloth to lightly spread it across your face.
If you wear glasses or sunglasses, be sure to clean them regularly. Oil can build up on them over time and cause acne on your skin. To remove the oil clean your glasses with alcohol or a household cleaner. Make sure you clean them thoroughly.
If you have a single large zit or blemish, try using a dab of hydrocortisone cream. Hydrocortisone cream will dry out the spot and help the zit to go away faster. However, it must be used sparingly or it can lead to rebound effects that might be worse than the original acne breakout.
The age old wisdom that touching your face makes acne worse is actually true, so stop it! Your hands pick up all kinds of nasty germs during the day, and the more you pick at your face, the more you open up your skin to let those bugs inside. Bacteria causes zits, so don’t let any get on your face!
To reduce the amount of irritation that can lead to acne, practice proper breathing techniques as the day wears on. This will help to replenish your supply of oxygen internally, so that you can function properly during the day. Take deep breaths to stay healthy and reduce blemishes on your face.
Try not to cover up blemishes or acne with too much toner or foundation. Too much product on your face will actually clog pores, potentially, making the blemish worse. Covering the area with make-up, could dry out the area causing an infection and in some cases, scarring.
Acne is a problem that can be managed, even in severe cases. We hope that the tips we’ve offered here, can help you find a solution. Often, what works for one person might not work for you, so you may have to try a few things before you see improvement. Be persistent and patient and if need be, talk to your doctor.
