Acne Treatment And Prevention

You can prevent acne or stop further spread of the inflammation by following some acne prevention tips that include proper maintenance of skin, hair, diet and little physical exercise.

It is suggested to keep the body parts clean, particularly which are acne-prone like face, neck, back and genital areas. Wash them with a mild soap at least twice a day. Avoid using fragranced soaps or rough cleansing pads. If your skin is oily, you should clean your skin of oils, but do not over dry the skin or vigorously scrub the skin. After using soap, be sure to clean it properly. If you sweat, clean them as soon as possible.

Avoid using cosmetics that include lots of chemicals and fragrance. You should also choose oil-free cosmetics which do not have the potential to clog pores. Remove make-up and cosmetic applications with a mild soap before going to sleep. Cosmetics may clog your pores and promote acne. Also, do not contaminate make-up and cosmetic application devices by reusing them in acne-infected parts.

Do not try to remove pimples by popping and squeezing them. This pushes the infectious materials, contained in the pimple, further into the skin and increases the severity of acne. It may also help further spread of acne.

Avoid tight clothes and other articles that rub on acne-prone areas for acne preventions. Keep your pillow cases, sheets, towel, hanky, etc, clean. The articles should be washed frequently with a mild detergent.

Besides, do not expose your skin to sunlight. Sunburn is extremely dangerous to the skin. Try to remain in shade as much as possible that may help you in acne prevention.
