How can you prevent an acne breakout?

Embarrassing blemishes can hit everyone — from eighth graders to adults.

While acne is not a serious health threat, it is significant in an emotional and social sense. If you have acne, often you have less self-confidence, and this can affect your social life or even your productivity at work.

Learning how to stop breakouts before they happen is the key to keeping acne under control.

Do a proper face cleansing

Washing the face twice a day can help remove extra oil, dead skin cells and impurities on the skin’s surface. Whether an acne is present or not, cleansing the face with warm water and a natural cleansing soap  can help prevent acne breakout.

This should not be done more than twice a day because it can also irritate and remove the natural flora of the skin. Nonetheless, harsh soaps, exfoliating glove or a coarse-textured sponge should be avoided at all times.

Washing the face with clean hands or a soft cloth is recommended instead.

Moisturize the skin every day

Daily moisturizing is vital in preventing an acne breakout. Most acne products have ingredients that dries and irritates the skin. However, adding a natural, acne targeted moisturizer can help keep the moisture and prevent redness, flaking and drying.

Moisturizing can control the acne growth because it clears the dirt, excess oil and makeup that tends to collect throughout the day. So, choose a moisturizer product that contains natural oils in order to prevent a future acne breakout and achieve a clean and beautiful skin.

Change the Pillow Case and Bed Sheets every week

Most of the time, pillow cases and bed sheets can cause acne breakouts because it tends to accumulate dirt, oil and debris. Especially when you are not washing your face before bedtime or even changing these clothing regularly.

The pillows you are using and the bed you are sleeping can absorb the sweat and dirt that also clogs the pores when your face rests at night time.

Choose the right shampoo and conditioner

Shampoos and conditioners have chemicals that can irritate the skin and clog the pores on the forehead, neck, jaw and even back. That is why, using a gentle, all-natural or non-fragrant shampoo and conditioner can help avoid acne breakout.

It is also important to rinse the hair properly and wash the face after taking a shower to ensure that the chemicals are not retained in the areas where acne can pop.

Avoid touching the face more often

Never try to pick or pop your pimples through your fingers. Making this as a habit can exacerbate the acne breakout because your fingers can help spread the bacteria and irritate the inflamed skin. It can also lead to permanent scarring and infection if done on a frequent basis.

Instead of causing more infections, maintain a regular deep cleansing facilas routine every 6-8 weeks.
