But, before we can tackle the acne problem it is important to understand what causes acne. The main culprits are oil and bacteria.
As we're changing into adults these hormonal imbalances will cause your skin to secrete a more oily sweat.
Your sweat is saturated with bacteria your body wants to get rid of, and when it mixes with dead skin cells it clogs the pores, causing them to become inflamed and forms a pimple.
This leads directly to our first tip.
Tip 1: Don't pop your pimples or scrub them harshly
By popping pimples when you see them you are making acne spread, not getting rid of it. So, if you are in the habit of popping pimples, stop, don't do it.
They will pop by themselves if you are patient.
If you don't want to irritate your skin even further then you should not be scrubbing your face raw everyday. Rather, find a good defoliant that is recommended for removing dead skin cells.
Tip #2: Avoid Oily Foods
Avoid eating oily food that will come out onto your skin. Overconsumption causes the oil in your body to increase which could in turn end up being deposited into the oil in the skin of your face which is a breeding ground for acne.
3rd Tip: Control the Bacteria
Naturally you should keep your face as clean as possible. Use tea trea oil, which has a strong antibiotic effect to reduce the spread of bacteria, and an antibacterial scrub at night.
4th Tip: Watch out for Advertising Hype
Some recently conducted have proven most acne products to be a complete waste of money.
To sum up, if you can manage to keep your face clean and avoid oily foods, your chance of living an acne-free life will increase dramatically. Best of luck with your efforts!
