Earlier in the year, we discussed the causes of acne. Now we want to help you manage, better still, prevent it. There are little habits that can go a long way to save your skin.
5 Acts That Can Save You From Acne
- Keep your hands to yourself: We know it’s tempting to mess with that pimple, but resistance is key. Popping and picking at the skin on your face will push dirt and bacteria deeper into pores, which only results in more breakouts.
- Keep your phone ‘sterilized’: Gisting on your cell phone for hours can lead to breakouts and rashes along your jaw line and cheek. Keep antibacterial wipes handy to wipe your phone clean and help your skin stay clear.
- Keep your hair away from your face: We know you don’t apply hair products to your face, but the residue can end up there anyway. Next time you apply hairspray, cover your face with a clean towel to protect your skin. When you wash your hair or use hair products, protect your face. Also, use a sweatband when you hit the gym to keep the products from dripping down when you begin to sweat.
- Keep your sheets and towel clean: Dirty Pillowcases, bedsheets and towels cause breakouts. Wash them at least every week or two.
- Resist the temptation of Overmoisturizing: Laying on the lotion is good for your skin, right? Not quite. “Over moisturizing can cause you to break out, and can even give you milia, the tiny white spots that are formed when dead skin cells get trapped
