Number 1.
Wash your face twice a day It is very important to keep your face clean
when trying to prevent pimples.
Washing your face removes dirt, impurities and any excess oil that has built
up on the surface of your skin.
Ideally, you should wash your face three a day,
in the morning and noon and in the evening, using warm water and a mild facial cleanser.
Use a clean dry towel to pat your face dry.
Number 2.
Use a noncomedogenic moisturizer After washing it is important to apply a good
moisturizer to hydrate the skin and prevent it
from become dry and irritated.
However, if you suffer from pimples it is important that you use
the right type of moisturizer for your skin type.
Heavy, oily moisturizers can clog your pores and lead to further breakouts.
Look for moisturizers which say "noncomedogenic" on the label --
this means that they should not cause your skin to breakout.
Number 3.
Avoid touching your face or popping pimples.
Hands come into contact with more dirt and bacteria throughout the day than any other
part of the body, which is why you should avoid touching
your face at all costs.
In addition to spreading bacteria and risking infection, touching spots
and pimples can cause them to become irritated and
inflamed, thus worsening their appearance and prolonging healing time.
Number 4.
Use exfoliating treatments and face masks once a week
Skin exfoliators and face masks are great products which can be very beneficial for
the skin, but they should only be used sparingly.
Exfoliators remove dead skin cells while effectively cleansing the skin, but can be dry out and
irritate the skin if used to often, especially on pimple-prone skin.
Number 5.
Avoid overloading your skin with products.
Too many creams, lotions and gels can clog your pores and lead to breakouts,
so make sure to apply any facial products sparingly, and no more frequently
than is indicated on the packaging.
The same goes for make-up, which should be applied as lightly as possible and should
be thoroughly removed using a facial cleanser at the end of each day.
Number 6.
Protect your skin from the sun.
Although traditional advice encouraged the exposure of pimple-prone skin to the sun,
with the belief that this would dry pimples out, modern-day skin specialists say otherwise.
The sun's UV rays can actually cause pimples to become even more red and inflamed than
before.
Number 7.
Eat well Although it's been proven that chocolate and
other junk food don't actually cause pimples, staying away from oily, greasy foods can still
have a positive effect for your skin.
Pimples form when excess oil clogs up your pores, so limiting the amount of oil that
you put into your body in the first place is a step
in the right direction.
Plus, if your body is healthy on the inside, that will be reflected
on the outside.
Number 8.
Drink plenty of water.
Drinking water has many benefits, for the skin and for the body's overall health.
It keeps the body hydrated, helping skin to look firm and plump.
It flushes harmful toxins from the system, preventing them from building
up and causing skin problems.
In addition, water helps ensure the proper function of
the skin's metabolism and allows it to regenerate itself.
You should aim to drink 5 to 8 glasses of water a day to reap the benefits.
