I have a light to moderate case of acne. Usually it’s not much of a problem, but over the years, scars from it have acumulated pretty badly, to the point that red patches would appear under my nose and on my chin, forehad, and nose.
Is there an over the counter treatment that anyone would suggest I use to lessen the appearance of these scar patches? Thanks.
Now if you struggle with acne, then chances are you have been through many different products without much success. Either the product you try doesn’t work, or it doesn’t work well enough or long enough. It seems hard to find the right product that will give you the long-lasting results you are looking for.
So here are some tips and tricks that will get you on your way to being acne-free, happier, healthier, and just better overall:
Tip #1: Clean your skin! Your face is where everyone is looking at, so you want to keep it looking and feeling nice. Don’t be touching it all the time with your hands that are probably covered in bacteria and dirt that could only serve to make your acne even worse. Also develop a regimen of cleaning your skin every day, at least twice, when you wake up and when you go to bed.
Tip #2: Control the oil. Don’t buy cosmetic or acne treatment products with lots of oils in them. The reason you are experience acne in the first place is because of a buildup of excess oils in the skin.
Tip #3: Don’t touch, just resist. By touching your blemishes and pimples you will only make them worse and possible infect them.
Tip #4: If you are a women or man masking scars, choose makeup with a minimum amount of oils in them. Make sure the product says “noncomedogenic” on it, as this means the product will not clog pores.
Tip #5: Make sure when you shave, you take care time and don’t cut yourself or pop any existing pimples or zits, as they may get infected.
Tip #6: Despite popular belief, tanning yourself to death does not help acne, so limit your sunlight exposure to a normal amount everyday.
That way, you will know exactly what cause your pimples and acne. And you will know how to get rid of them.
The causes of pimples acne are:
1. Having oily skin is one cause of pimples and acne. When your face is oily, your are at risk of clogging your pores. So, make sure you wash your face at least 2 times a day. Use glycerin or sorbitol soap. I recommend using neutrogena.
If your face is dry, drink plenty of water. Drinking 8 glasses per day will help.
2. Another cause of pimples acne is touching your face a lot. If you touch your face with dirty and oily hands, you will irritate your skin. This will cause your face to breakout. Also, don’t scratch your pimples and acne. I know that sometimes they can itch, but don’t scratch.
This will make the spread.
3. Eating fast foods and junk foods are other causes of pimples and acne. Try avoiding foods that are high in saturated fats, sugar, and vegetable oils. An example of these foods are chocolates, chips, cookies, cakes, fast food burger and fries, and other junk foods.
Eating these foods will cause your hormones to become imbalance and it will spike your insulin. That’s why you breakout from eating those foods.
These are the causes of pimples acne. If you have pimples and acne, you need to do something about it. If you don’t, your pimples and acne will become worse. They could even spread over your body, including your chest and back.
