These daily changes can help you achieve healthier and clearer skin:
- Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser.
- Wash your hair with shampoo. The oil from your hair can worsen acne.
- Stress triggers a hormone that stimulates the oil glands on your skin which can clog pores and cause breakouts.
- Choose skin care products that are gentle and non-abrasive.
- Avoid foods that aggravate your acne such as nuts, peanut butter and even spicy food.
- Do not squeeze your pimples as it can cause an infection, increase inflammation and scarring.
- Wear sunscreen as some acne conditions may increase your skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
- Do not over exfoliate your skin as it may be the cause of acne.
Based on severity and individual needs, visit a dermatologist to receive appropriate treatment to help control your acne.
