“How To Treat Your Acne”

     Acne. We are all faced with this problem at some point in our lives.

     For some, this problem is worse than others but the simple do's and don'ts of acne care are the same for virtually everyone.

     Acne forms under the skin, which means washing away surface oils does not do much to prevent or cure it.

     Gentle washing is important, but too much washing can irritate the whiteheads and blackheads, causing them to be more infected, which can cause even more pimples.

     Let's take a look at the most important do's and don'ts of acne care and treatment.

     Acne Don'ts...

     Never go to bed without washing your face.

     Your skin will heal itself most while you are sleeping. If you have leftover makeup and dirt from that day on your face, you could wake up with some nasty acne.

     Do not use soap on your face as this can irritate your skin. Use a gentle high-quality facial cleanser.

     Never sleep with your face directly on the pillow. The oils and dirt from your hair get on the pillow and then resting your face on the pillow may make you breakout the next morning.

     Do not pick the pimples on your face or try to squeeze them. This usually causes you to push the pimple into your skin, making healing time even slower.

     Applying make-up over blemishes will usually make the condition worse. The pores become clogged more than they already are and the ingredients in make-up can cause irritation leading to even MORE blemishes.

     Acne Do's...

     Definitely use a benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid cleanser to fight pimples.

     A very good product for washing your face is Proactiv Solution. Give it time and you'll see the results.

     Exfoliate!

     This process removes the layer of dead skin cells and it is also important for healthy skin.

     After washing your face with a mild cleanser, exfoliate with a facial scrub one to two times a week.

     To avoid further clogging of your pores, all cosmetics, lotions and sunscreens should be oil-free.

     To avoid dry skin, use an oil-free lotion such as Complex 15.

     To avoid sunburn use oil-free products such as Neutrogena or Coppertone Oil-free Sunscreen.

     And remember to beware of hair products and gels, as they tend to be very oily.

     Look for product labels that read "Non-comedogenic", which means that they won't clog your pores.

     Acne Tips...

     Here are some great tips and home remedies on getting rid of acne you might already have:

     Cleanse the skin with a benzyl peroxide or salicylic acid cleanser, apply an alpha hydroxy, and then use a toner. Then, use an acne fighting medication on the skin along with a moisturizer.

     To dry out a pimple overnight, try using toothpaste (not gel) directly on the zit.

     This can help dry it out overnight.

     A great face mask is to use the white part of an egg and apply it to your face for about 15 minutes.

     The vitamin A in the egg white is also good for your skin.

     The egg white is also a great overnight remedy, but just use a Q-tip to dab on the egg-white directly to the pimple.

     To rid redness from an inflamed zit, use visine eyedrops and apply to the red spots.

     Another way to get rid of redness: try hydrocortisone cream or pop two Advil.

     There are literally hundreds of other tips and tricks for your skin, face, and body that YOU should know about.
