We are taught from birth that washing our face is something that we need to do every day. If you are anything like the rest of us, washing your face is not the most enjoyable activity and making time to do it every day feels like a hassle. Even after spending years in puberty and battling against regular acne breakouts, washing your face is more of a hassle, especially when all you want to do is go to sleep! Here’s the thing: you need to keep your face clean to keep dirt and bacteria from infecting your pores. Do you really want to be a grown person sporting a face full of acne? Here are a few hints to help you keep your skin healthy.
Eat the right food
Are you eating the right foods and getting the nutrients that you need? You might not know this yet, but not eating a balanced diet can cause some people to break out. When you are not healthy, acne can be a symptom of that. Taking a multi-vitamin every morning can be an easy way to take care of this type of acne problem. Vitamins might seem like an easy fix and it is true that they won’t fix everything but they can help make up for some of the nutritional deficiencies you are experiencing. The reason so many people immediately jump to your nutrition when you break out is that, when you don’t get the right vitamins and nutrients, your body produces a bunch of extra sebum which seeps into your pores and causes you to break out. So make sure that you are eating the right foods and getting enough vitamins and nutrients.
Get a dermatologist to help you
Some adults are cursed with acne that does not respond to “regular” cleansers and treatments. If nothing in the store is doing the trick, then you might need a qualified professional to help you treat your acne and breakouts. You might need a prescription-strength acne fighter and a dermatologist can give that to you. Your doctor might even find that something else (besides simple clogged pores) is causing your acne flare ups. Some acne issues are the result of genetics or other health conditions. A doctor can help you diagnose your skin problems and help you to clear up the acne you are fighting.
Wash your face regularly
Your face should get two washes every day. We can even get clogged pores in our sleep. You should have a cleaning routine for your skin that you do in the morning and at night. Most people find that a quick wash in the mornings is all they need while the evenings require a higher level of attention and care. You’ll send that acne packing!
Who says that you need to have extensive or complicated facial care to get rid of breakouts? Getting rid of acne is as simple as keeping your face clean. Being rough on your face is a bad idea because it could cause more damage. You can give your face a great cleansing without damaging your skin!
