Do Not Let Acne Ruin Your Day, Read This!

By Kathryne Hugh Scottie


For someone with moderate to severe acne on their face and back, having their picture taken or being in front of large groups of people can cause panic and a loss of confidence. Fortunately, these tips and tricks for controlling acne are sure to leave your face and body clear, smooth, and free from acne.

Be sure to check any acne products you plan to use to see if the ingredients are oil based. Many, if not most cosmetics include petroleum products such as mineral oil. These will aggravate your acne in two ways. First, they are oils that will clog your pores. Second, they are unnatural chemicals that are toxic to your skin and your system. Choose cosmetics and treatments based in natural, oil free carrier products such as aloe gel.

Getting regular exercise can help minimize your acne outbreaks. Staying in good shape makes your skin healthy along with the rest of your body. Exercise boosts the immune system, which means your body will be better able to fight off the bacteria which cause acne. Just make sure you clean off after you work out to get rid of sweat and dirt on your skin.

Use less products on your face when trying to clear acne up. This is the kind of attitude to have when you are trying to eliminate acne. Using different types of products can irritate your skin and make it worse. Don't wear makeup, but if you do choose brands that are non-comedogenic.

If you wear makeup and suffer from frequent breakouts, clean your makeup brushes often and use cotton swabs or disposable sponges when possible. Bacteria can live in your makeup applicators, which you then transfer to your makeup, and to your face. Keeping your tools clean will help to prevent acne.

You might remember the acne medicine commercial which said that you don't get acne from eating too many chocolate bars, but the truth is that refined sugars and carbohydrates DO add to the problem. As soon as I cut them out of my diet, my acne went away! Yours can too as long as you eat them only in moderation.

Use the information in this article to help you change your life for the good. If you do not have to constantly worry about the acne on your face, you are going to be able to enjoy some of the things that you have missed out on for these years.
