Many people suffer from adult acne, but despite this acne is still seen as a teenage problem. We all think we will outgrow it but many of us don’t. This article gives you the best skincare routine you can give your skin to help prevent breakouts and keep your skin looking clearer.
While it is a common belief that dirt and grime causes acne, it is untrue. The only time dirt is a factor is if you are in a job that makes you dirty and mucky – otherwise acne is not caused by dirt clogging your pores. Zits are just inflammations under the skin so no amount of cleaning will get rid of them once they are there.
In fact most people have a skin care routine that is vigorous and too much for your skin. This results in zits and acne becoming worse not better. The best thing you can is keep your skin care routine to a minimum. Less irritation to the skin is much better than too much.
1. Use a cleanser that is mild or just use water.
You don’t want to use anything to harsh on your face. If you use something too harsh it will irritate and dry your skin. This will trigger the bacteria on your skin to produce more sebum to undo this. When your sebum canals are blocked you get an accumulation of sebum which also irritates the skin and this increases sebum production even further. It is when they are blocked that the bacteria can cause inflammation. So adding a harsh cleanser to your skin care routine will just exacerbate your acne problems.
2. Avoid Moisturiser
Traditional moisturisers contain chemicals that attract water. This leads you to retain water in your skin and thus causes sebum canals to pinch off (acne). This is exactly what you want to avoid!
3. Use Oil As An Alternative
We all want to protect our skin some way so a good alternative to moisturiser is oil. Oil is cheaper, you only have to use a fingertip for your entire face and it is much more effective. Try using coconut oil (As it smells good) or alternatively try walnut oil. These are easy to get a hold of, but if you struggle try ebay or something similar.
