How Can I Get Rid of Acne?
Acne just sucks- there we said it! It can hurt. It makes your face all red and uneven. And it is just stressful to always be dealing with it, especially after you reach adulthood. How can you get rid of acne? There are some amazing ways you just may want to consider if your at home routine is not cutting it. Let’s go over some ways you can blossom out from under your acne.
What is acne?
Acne is the all encompassing term for pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and bumps on the skin. Commonly seen in teens, adults can also have acne on their face and body. What causes acne? Acne occurs when the hair follicle under your skin gets clogged from oil, bacteria, and dead skin. When those pores are clogged, the result is often acne in one form or another.
Some people are more prone to this than others. Other factors can be environmental or even the makeup you use. If you are in a humid environment for a prolonged period of time, your pores can clog faster than normal. Stress and hormones also play a big role in your skin and acne. If you tend to not wash your face daily, this too can lead to acne. It is also important that after sweating you wash your skin to help avoid it from getting clogged.
How can I get rid of acne?
First and foremost, it is always important to make sure you are washing your face with a quality cleanser daily. For many people twice a day is preferred to really make sure your skin stays clear. When you go to bed at night, it is important to have a clean face so that all the gunk from the day, if thats sweat, makeup, oil, or anything else you might have gotten into, doesn’t sink into your skin while you sleep. A dirty pillow case holds onto that bacteria that then your face absorbs.
Hydration is also a key- really for a healthy body overall. Your skin is made up of a lot of water and in general your body needs water daily to flush your system and keep you healthy. Without water, you are not giving your skin the tools it needs to maintain itself.
You already know there are a ton of products out there to help treat acne. Of course the creams, lotions, and potions can help. The key is to really stick with a regime even after things clear up. Often we see people come in with acne problems but do not continue to use the quality products once things look better. Keeping your skin clean is super important but your at home washes might not be getting deep enough. It may be time to consider facials to really get in deeper and clear out your pores.
