Acne can be an annoying skin problem and tough to get rid of. But, there are ways to minimize the blemishes that you might be suffering from. Here are seven tips to help you do just that:

1. Know Your Skin. The absolute first step toward healthy skin, and particularly for those who are prone to acne, is knowing your exact skin type and how it reacts to different things. A surprising amount of people pay little or no attention to what may be causing their breakouts or what ingredients they're using on their skin. Generally, skin is either oily, dry, a combination of both, sensitive or prone to acne.

2. Choose the Right Products. The amount of acne skin care products available today is mind boggling, however, after knowing our true skin type, we can be sure to only use what's most compatible.

Most people with acne-prone skin tend to have oily skin, although combination and dry areas are not uncommon. Be sure to select a cleanser that's specially formulated for this skin disorder as they will usually contain ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid, both of which help the skin regenerate itself faster. For severe acne try 10% benzoyl peroxide, and for mild to moderate cases, 5-10% is usually the recommended concentration.

A good toner is essential for keeping pores tight and unclogged. Either spray the toner directly onto the face, or apply with a cotton ball. For excessively oily skin, try a toner with three percent hydrogen peroxide, and for normal or dry skin, many people swear by the inexpensive witch hazel. Rubbing alcohol is mistakenly used for severe cases of oily skin as it actually dries out the skin far more than necessary, making the irritation and acne ultimately worse.

Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for people with acne to use a moisturizer. Choose either a light, non-comedogenic moisturizer, or one that's are oil-free so as not to aggravate acne and blemishes. Some of these moisturizers also contain antibacterial agents to keep acne causing bacterium at bay.

For makeup products, choose oil-free foundation and those that are designed for use with acne or sensitive skin. Any type of heavy makeup, including those for eye and cheek color, will clog pores and instigate an acne flare-up.

3. Hydration Matters. Simply put, water is vital for our skin as well as for most other functions and components of the body. Without water, we wouldn't survive, and neither would our skin. Be sure to drink at least eight glasses of water each day to keep your skin and body well hydrated.

4. Protect Your Skin. All skin, but especially skin that's sensitive or that has acne, should be protected from the sun's harmful UV rays. The sun does provide much needed vitamin D, however, 10 to 15 minutes a day early in the morning is all that's necessary for a healthy, daily dose.

A common, and rather dangerous, myth is that getting a facial sunburn will help clear up acne quickly as it causes the skin to peel and regenerate. While that part is true, this also speeds up the aging process and considerably increases the risks of skin cancer.

5. Treat Your Skin Gently. Instead of getting the skin extra clean, rubbing or scrubbing your face may actually cause permanent scarring and exacerbate acne. Even skin without acne should be cleansed gently to avoid damaging the delicate tissue. A good rule to remember is to use your hands instead of some type of washcloth or facial cleansing pad to avoid rupturing or aggravating acne sores. When you are able to safely exfoliate, to gently remove dead cells, use a gentle scrub made from natural ingredients such as ground walnuts as opposed to products with potentially strong or harsh ingredients.

For a easy way of reducing the redness and inflammation that usually accompanies acne, try crushing an aspirin into a bit of lemon juice and then applying the mixture to the most affected areas of the face just before bedtime. Although some people use toothpaste, not gel, as a spot-treatment on acne blemishes, this method may actually burn the skin doing more harm than good. Yet another home remedy that some swear by is taking a zinc vitamin tablet every day.

6. Minimize Stress. Stress and tension have more of an effect on the quality of our skin than we may realize, and for some, may directly contribute to breakouts or intensify acne. It's important to do whatever is necessary to relieve stress and find time for relaxation.

7. Have Patience. Keep in mind that it may take six to eight weeks to notice a difference when changing your current skin care regimen to an acne-friendly one. Most acne skin care products, whether prescription or over-the-counter strength, may take a month or two to show positive results. Unfortunately, some people never give it the entire eight weeks before giving up or switching to other methods of controlling their acne.

Follow these tips and you'll be on your way to healthier looking skin.

Proper Skin Care For Acne Patient

Patrick Louis 2008-03-24
Title: Proper Skin Care For Acne Patient

Acne is defined as a diseased condition of the skin that involves the hair and oil glands. It is characterised by pimples, black/white heads, reddishness and cysts. Face acne can spoil your appearance to a great extent and body acne can really ruin your day by making you very uncomfortable. Considering acne as a minor problem, some people tend to totally discard the topic of ‘Acne skin care’. However, the importance of ‘Acne skin care’ cannot be undermined in any way.


Acne skin care should really start much before the acne actually appears. ‘Acne skin care’ is more about being proactive than reactive. Acne skin care is about being aware of preventive measures. Acne skin care is - following daily skin care routines with complete discipline. So let’s have a look at how ‘acne skin care’ can be applied to our daily routine.


‘Acne skin care’ starts with the most basic thing - cleanliness. So morning showers are the most basic way of keeping the skin clean. In fact, a lot of people take night showers too (that not only helps in keeping your skin clean but also provides relaxation to your body and enables a good sleep). If you are living in a hot and/or humid place, a night shower becomes a must. In fact, a shower is recommended after any activity that causes high levels of sweat to develop. It’s a very effective ‘acne skin care’ technique.


However, acne skin care is not about just showers. Acne skin care is also about wearing clean clothes and sleeping on clean pillows. Moreover, too tight clothes can cause sweat to accumulate quickly; so soft and comfortable cotton clothes are recommended, especially if you already have acne. In the same sense, ‘acne skin care’ also advocates regular cleaning of your make-up brush and any equipment that you use on your body.


Besides that, you should also use a mild, water-soluble, oil-free and soap-free cleanser for keeping your face, neck and arms clean. Cleansing is the most important part of any acne skin care routine. Cleaners are the easiest and the most effective way of removing dirt, grease, pollutants and excess oil from your skin; thus reducing the probability of acne occurrence. Acne skin care also recommends removing your make up using a make up remover, and this should happen before you go to bed (not in the morning).


If you already have acne, do not try to touch them or squeeze them; it can lead to permanent scars. ‘Acne skin care’ advocates gentle cleansing and cleaning of the affected area using an over-the-counter medication and a clean/soft cotton pad. There are various acne skin care creams and lotions available over-the-counter (a lot of these acne skin care products are actually cleansers). However, if these ‘acne skin care’ measures don’t give you the desired results, contact a dermatologist for ‘acne skin care’ advice and treatment.

Acne is defined as a diseased condition of the skin that involves the hair and oil glands. It's characterised by pimples, black/white heads, reddishness and cysts. Face acne can spoil your appearance to a large extent and body acne can actually ruin your day by making you really self-conscious. Regarding acne as a minor problem, some people tend to completely discard the topic of ‘Acne skin care’. Even so, the importance of ‘Acne skin care’ cannot be undermined in any way.

Acne skin care should actually begin a good deal earlier before the acne actually appears. ‘Acne skin care’ is more about being proactive than reactive. Acne skin care is just about being well aware of preventive measures. Acne skin care is following daily skin care routines with complete discipline. So let’s have a look at how ‘acne skin care’ can be applied to our day-to-day routine.

Three Types of Treatment For Acne

Title: Three Types of Treatment For Acne
Three Types of Treatment For Acne

Acne is a menace. However, it’s not something that cannot be tackled. There are loads of acne skin care products around. We can separate acne skin care products into 3 broad categories – * Preventive or general acne skin care products * Over-the-counter, specialised acne skin care products * On-prescription acne skin care products.

The common acne skin care products are the ones that are used as acne-prevention measure. These include cleansers, make-up removers and similar products that help prevent acne.These acne skin care products are exactly those that should always be part of your daily routine. However, a few of these are more directed to act similar as an acne skin care product. These acne skin care products act against the causes of acne e.g. limiting the production of sebum/oil and preventing clogging of skin pores. Essentially, these acne skin care products keep the oil from becoming trapped in pores and hence hamper the growth of bacteria that lead to acne. The general acne skin care products as well include exfoliation products like skin peels. These work towards removing dead skin cells, hence reducing the possibility of pore-clogging and bacteria development.

Then there are specialised acne skin care products that are available over-the-counter i.e. without the need of a prescription. These include products like vanishing creams which extract the extra oil from the skin. Most of these acne skin care products are based on benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, both of which are the enemies of bacteria (and hence acne). You should begin with a product that has lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide (e.g. 5%) and see how your skin responds to it. Alpha-hydroxy-acid based moisturizers are also popular as acne skin care products. You may have to try a couple of, before you zero-in on the acne skin care product that is effective for you. If nothing appears to work, you should contact a dermatologist.

On-prescription acne skin care products are the ones that are prescribed by a dermatologist. This can include ointments that can be applied on the affected area or oral antibiotics or just any topical treatment. Dermatologist could also suggest a minor surgical procedure to remove the contents of pustules. However, never try to squeeze or do this by yourself, it can lead to permanent damage of your skin. Your doctor could also prescribe a hormone-based treatment (since hormonal changes are also known to cause acne). Such acne skin care products are known to be very effective in some cases. So, with all those acne skin care products, tackling acne is not that difficult.

Discover The Link Between Acne And Skin Care

Title: Discover The Link Between Acne And Skin Care

Proper skin care is important any time, but it's particularly important if you're dealing with acne. One of the "secrets" to controlling an acne problem is to keep your skin as healthy as you can. This includes keeping it clean and avoiding things like sunshine and harsh cosmetics that can damage the skin.

Cleaning Your Skin

Use a specialized skin cleanser or a gentle soap daily, according to the directions. Don't scrub your face as this can aggravate acne and actually make the problem worse.

Moisten your face with a soft cloth and apply the cleaner to your skin, from your hairline to your neck. Rinse it with plenty of water and dry your face by patting it with a soft towl (again, avoid scrubbing it dry).

If you have oily skin you may need to use an astringent, however do so with care. Only use it on problem spots and stop if it irritates your skin. If you think you may need to use an astringent, you should consult with your dermatologist first.

Hair care is also related to acne and skin care. Shampoo your hair regularly and do your best to keep it off your face. If your hair is oily, it can lead to acne if not kept clean and away from your face.

Sun Protection

It has long been thought that exposure to the sun can help acne, but this isn't really the case. The sun can dry out your skin and a tan can make your acne less obvious, but it's really a temporary solution.

Once your skin acclimatizes itself to the sun, your acne will return plus the sun exposure carries other risks such as skin cancer.

Some acne treatments can also make your skin more sensitive to the sun, and in turn more likely to burn. You should always wear sunscreen when you're out in the sun, whether you're dealing with acne or not.

Makeup & Cosmetics

Ideally, wearing no makeup is the best choice but if that isn't an option be sure to choose a makeup that won't clog your pores.

These cosmetic products are labelled as noncomedogenic, although some people may still have problems when using them. Be sure you choose makeups that don't use an oil base. Read the ingredients before choosing anything.

Shaving

There is no hard and fast rule when choosing between electric razors and safety razors. Some people will find one more comfortable, some with find the other.

If you choose to use safety razors, don't shave with dull blades. You might have to shave around serious acne lesions, and make sure you soften your beard with water and shaving cream before you shave.

If you're having a particular bad day with acne breakouts, it's probably best to skip shaving altogether.

Avoid Touching Your Skin

It's tempting to squeeze pimples, but don't give in! It can lead to more serious problems because squeezing them can cause the bacteria that causes acne to spread. It can also cause permanent scarring in some cases.

It's also a good idea to avoid touching your face because your hands tend to be dirty and oily and they can spread germs.

It's also a good idea to avoid touching your face because your hands tend to be dirty and oily and they can spread germs.
