Tips to Prevent Acne

May 25, 2009


One must always remember that the health of your skin proves how healthy you are from inside. Oddly enough, it works from the inside out. The kind of lifestyle you lead shows directly on your skin. If you have an acne breakout then chances are there has been a sudden change in your diet, if you regularly suffer from acne then there are a few lifestyle and diet changes that you will need to make in order to have clear skin in a jiffy.

To get rid of acne you need to start with your hygiene. Make sure that your skin is always clean. Normally those with oily skin are more prone to acne, hence you need to wash your skin and keep it clean. Avoid layering your skin with makeup and let is breathe without makeup as often as possible. Use products that suit your skin type and take a skin test before you start using a new product.

Your diet needs to include fresh fruits and vegetables. Drink plenty of water and juices, both fruit and vegetable. Monitor the amount of oil you consume, reduce it to about 10 % of what you normally do by eating boiled, steamed or grilled food rather than fried foods. Sauté your favorite vegetables and meats in olive oil you automatically reduce the amount of oil you ingest. Avoid dinking alcohol and caffeine based drinks. Water is a better choice.

Avoid exposing your skin to the sun as far as possible. If you must get out in the sun, then, always have a rich layer of sunscreen slathered on your skin. Avoid using public swimming pools as the chlorine can affect your skin.

Use an acne based face mask on your skin once a week and a fuller’s earth face pack. The natural products will help to dry the acne. Avoid touching the zits as you risk spreading them, never squeeze a pimple no matter how tempted you are.
