Tips To Stop Acne Before It Starts

By Kristie Schipper Sukhram


Every year, millions and millions of men and women find themselves trying desperately to correct and conceal the unsightly effects of acne on their faces and bodies. Here are some of the very best tips and tricks for those who finds themselves looking for ways to cope with pimples and acne breakouts.

Make sure to shampoo your hair often to keep oils, dirt and hair products from easy access to your skin. Use hairbands or other devices to keep your hair out of your face and off your forehead; and always wash your hands after you work with your hair to avoid transferring dirt or oil to your face.

A good tip for those looking to prevent or treat acne is to look into using probiotics and prebiotics. Prebiotics are foods that had good bacteria to your stomach that are eliminated by antibiotics. These bacteria can be good at combating acne and you can supplement these foods with a probiotic supplement.

Here is another reason not to smoke! Smoking affects pimples or acne breakouts! When a smoker exhales the smoke, it will travel up to their face, which can cause pimples to become more pronounced and make acne spread. A doctor may be able to help someone stop smoking.

If you wear makeup to hide acne on your face, try concentrating on your eyes and lips instead of your skin. Loading concealer and foundation onto acne outbreaks can sometimes draw more attention to them. Also, the chemicals in the cosmetic products can irritate acne further. You can draw attention away from your skin and onto your other features by using dramatic mascara, eyeliner, lip liner, lip stain etc.

If you have acne, read the labels on everything you buy! From laundry soap to makeup remover to shampoo, it's important to keep anything unnatural from sitting next to your skin for any length of time. Choose products with no chemicals, dyes, or perfumes, which call themselves "natural" to ensure you're not going to cause yourself a break out.

You should never think of acne as inevitable. While some of its causes are beyond your control, some are issues that you can address or even resolve. It may not even require much effort for you to treat a lot of the underlying causes of your acne. Tips like the ones presented above can help you put yourself in control of your acne situation.
