Tips For Keeping Your Adult Acne Under Control

Here are a few tips for keeping your acne breakouts under control. While using an acne treatment product, you should use this acne skin care routine.

Tip 1: Always remember to wash your acne prone areas twice a day with mild soap. Soaps like Dove or Oxy-5 or any soap that contains benzoyl peroxide should be your choice for washing your skin. Wash gently, as much as you would need to keep the area clean. But do not scrub. Scrubbing would only aggravate you adult acne.

Tip 2: Shampoo your hair regularly. If you have long hair, keep it off your face and shoulders and shampoo your hair daily.

Tip 3: Always be careful while shaving. This is to avoid bruising your acne pimples which would lead to ugly acne scars. Always try to use a new shaving blade anytime you shave to avoid spreading infection.

Tip 4: Avoid applying make-up or cosmetics on areas that are prone to adult acne breakouts. If you must wear make-up, ensure you only use the oil-free and non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) kinds of cosmetics.

Tip 5: Avoid picking, scratching or squeezing your acne pimples. This could lead to scarring and infection.

Tip 6: Although some doctors are of the opinion that acne is not affected by the food you eat, some alternate practitioners recommend dieting as a starting point for combating acne pimples. These healthcare practitioners insist that you should eat foods rich in beta-carotene. This can be found in foods like cantaloupe, carrots, pumpkin and other yellow-orange fruits and vegetables. They also recommend you avoid fatty foods.

Tip 7: Ever heard of vitamin therapy? Some nutritionists recommend taking some vitamins and minerals to aids in the metabolism of hormones which affect the sebaceous glands. You should only use an acne product that contains the right balance of vitamins and minerals for combating your adult acne breakouts from the inside.

Tip 8: You should use a topical acne treatment that can combat acne causing bacteria on the surface of the skin. Topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide (gel or cream) or salicyclic acid are very helpful in reducing your acne problem. You start with the lowest strength of these topical medications and apply once a day after washing your skin.

The best acne treatment is one that combats your acne breakouts both from the root cause by balancing your hormones and on the outside by preventing acne causing bacteria from causing inflammation on your skin.
