Track This 5 Acne Treatment Tips You Can Use Today

Luckily, there are a number of things you can do everyday to make sure
your skin is less prone to flare ups. Here are five tips for taking
control of your acne starting today.

1. Exercise - Keeping in
shape can help fight acne by fighting off negative stress levels that
can come from negative self-esteem and depression. However, some
safeguards need to be in place to ward off acne that can result from
your workout routines. Watch what you put on your body with regards to
clothing, sports gear and equipment.

For example, tight lycra and
nylon exercise outfits might look great in the movies and on magazine
models, but if you are susceptible to acne problems, avoid these
synthetic fabrics that tend to trap in body moisture and heat resulting
in a bacteria frenzy. Instead, choose loose clothing made of cotton or
natural blends to allow more air to get to your skin.

And when
you are finished with your workout, get out of clothing wet from
perspiration or water sports. Shower and change into dry, clean
clothing. And keep your sports gear and equipment clean, too. Dirty
headgear, for instance, can irritate forehead areas prone to acne
problems. So toss headbands into the washing machine after workout
sessions.

2. Cosmetics - To avoid pore-clogging and skinirritations that are similar to acne and that can contribute to acne,
use products labeled noncomedogenic or oil-free. Shimmering facial
colors can contain a flaky mineral called mica that can cause skin
irritations and clog pores. Other additives in coloring that can cause
similar reactions are coal tar derivatives, carmine and heavy cream in
blushes.

More preventative measures include using a lip gloss
that promotes a matte finish instead of a high gloss for less
pore-clogging; note the more the shine, the more then comedogenic
content and the more the pores can clog. Beware that eye creams can
contain heavier concentrations of moisturizers than regular creams and
lotions, meaning they have greater potential to clog pores in the
surrounding facial areas.

3. Diet - Studies show that diet does
not play a role in either the cause or the treatment of acne. However,
what is recommended for acne preventative care is this: what is best for
your body is best for your skin, especially since your skin is the
largest organ of your body. So remember to watch your diet and consume
healthy vitamins, minerals and other supplements. This will help to
prevent and help conquer acne breakout.

4. Hygiene - A healthy skin
regimen should include no harsh scrubbing or over-washing, because this
can cause possible skin irritation or possible over production of oil
to replace what has washed off, clogging pores in the process. Products
with gentle exfoliation ingredients are OK to use; i.e. not scratchy nut
or fruit shell pieces that can tear skin. And skip alcohol products
when possible; these can take off the top layer of your skin and cause
your glands to product more oil, clogging pores in the process.

If
you do spot acne-troubled areas, do NOT mess with them. Remember that
these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or picking
blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, further
troubling the region and possibly leave a scar. If necessary, seek help
from a dermatologist for alternative treatments.

5. Shaving -
Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or
removing dead skin to help with the prevention and spreading of acne
instead of leaving the remains to clog pores. And for some light acne
cases already in process, shaving can help rid whiteheads and blackheads
from the face. A word of caution: for areas with infection or high
inflammatory activity (redness, sensitive, open acne, sores, etc.), do
not shave. Or at the very least, use a shaving cream for sensitive skin!
