ACNE DO'S AND DON'TS
Skincare should not be undervalued. I mean we are talking about the body's largest organ, which protects our insides from the outside. It's both a filter and a barrier. Typically, we don't think about our skin's health and function until we're faced with a problem. When the problem (or problems) confronts us in the mirror, we desire quick results. Fair enough. But before you seek a solution, set up a skincare schedule-and follow it. After all, skin is for life.
Do
-Wash your face twice a day with warm water and a light, oil-free cleanser.
-Gently scrub your skin with a fine exfoliant to remove dead skin cells that clog pores.
-Apply acne medication such as salicylic acid or tea tree oil to manage blemishes.
-Use anti-inflammatories such as Allantoin to reduce redness and swelling.
-Apply products with vitamin C to reduce the marks that acne leaves behind.
-Use a water-based moisturizer to keep skin soft, smooth and hydrated.
-Keep hair clean and off your face.
-Change your pillowcases and towels often.
-Avoid irritated skin and use mild, fragrance-free detergents to clean your clothes.
-Replace cosmetic sponges and sterilize brushes to reduce bacteria.
-Drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet and exercise regularly.
-Seek the advice of a dermatologist if your skin condition doesn't improve.
Don't
-Ignore it. It doesn't take much time to maintain great skin.
-Scrub your face or use hot water, as it will aggravate acne.
-Squeeze or pick pimples because this can spread infection and provoke scarring.
-Continue using harsh astringents and cleansers that irritate or over-dry your skin, which makes up by producing more oil.
-Expose skin to extreme temperatures or sunlight. The sun's UV rays can lead to dry, itchy, blistered skin and at worst, skin cancer.
-Use greasy oil-based cosmetics that can clog pores and trigger breakouts.
