Say Goodbye To Your Acne Woes
Acne will not win a popularity contest! It is true, no one really likes the discomfort or appearance of acne. Unfortunately, most will experience it at some point in their life. So, what should you do about it? Is there a way to possibly avoid or lessen the affect of it? Read the following article for some tips others have found helpful:
If you have a breakout, resist the urge to scratch or “pop” any pimples. This could cause an infection, scaring, or maybe even both. Try over-the-counter medications, creams, and astringents first. If your acne worsens, consider making an appointment with a dermatologist who can suggest something more effective.
If you wear makeup to hide acne on your face, try concentrating on your eyes and lips instead of your skin. Loading concealer and foundation onto acne outbreaks can sometimes draw more attention to them. Also, the chemicals in the cosmetic products can irritate acne further. You can draw attention away from your skin and onto your other features by using dramatic mascara, eyeliner, lip liner, lip stain etc.
If you stress over your skin, you are only increasing the problem. Stress has been known to cause acne to form. Therefore, it is important that you try to relax. Acne is a natural bodily reaction that everyone will get at one point in their life. Just try to relax.
Tea bags are a great treatment for acne. The natural herbs found in tea help to fight the germs and bacteria that are associated with acne. To use this method, begin by soaking water, two tea bags and water on to a washcloth. Put the washcloth in the microwave for 30 seconds and then put it on your face.
If you find acne to be a recurring problem, begin to take note of what foods you have eaten right before a breakout. Some people are sensitive to certain foods, especially oily or greasy ones. You may notice acne occurring each time you indulge in a certain type of food, if so, try to avoid it in the future!
Do not, under any circumstances, physically pop pimples. The temptation is very strong, as you will see immediate results, but this will cause severe damage in the long run. The damage can be anything from red blotches, blemishes, scars, and further outbreaks. On rare occasions, you can even get an infection.
When trying to cure acne, stay away from alcohol, whether you consume it or use products containing alcohol. Alcohol’s astringent properties work to strip away the top layer of the skin, this causes an increase in oil production. Oil works to clog your pores and cause blemishes and blackheads.
So, you are not alone! Others are facing the same concern you are. Hopefully, the tips from others above will prove helpful to you too! While acne will not win favor based on the look or tenderness caused by it, there are steps that can be taken to lessen, if not prevent a breakout! Apply the information that fits your circumstances! Brighter days are ahead!
