Beauty Tips #3

Feeling frustrated every time where there's a breakout on your face? Here are some steps to keep in mind to avoid or reduce breakout!

Part of the reason of acne breakout is oily skin. Greasy skin that traps dirt and skin debris clogging up pores make your skin pores an excellent breeding place for bacteria. The bacteria multiplies and voila. Acne will appear :( 

All is not lost. If you have oily skin that is prone to acne, here are 7 beauty tips to help keep the pimples away :D

1. Keep your HANDS off your face

You hands, after touching so many things, opening the door, picking up a bag, things we do everyday, are covered with bacteria. The last thing you want is to put that bacteria on your face. Touch your face often with your hands, or worse still, pick those pimples with your fingers, and you will see the pimples multiply.

2. Keep your HAIR off your face

If you have oily skin ,hair that brushes against your face adds to the oil (if you have oily hair). Oil, sweat and skin debris are a great way to clog the pores in your skin, leading to more pimples. If you notice pimples appearing on your forehead, or your cheeks and chin, typically where your hair might brush against, your hair could be the culprit. Even if you do not have oily hair, our hair that brushes against our face cause irritation to the skin as our hair are also prone to be expose to the surrounding of where we are. The air particles around us carries dust or dirt sometimes that adds irritation to our skin. To prevent our hair keeping contact with our face wear a hairband, use hair clips to keep your hair off your face, tie it into a pony tail, or get a hair cut.

3. Wash your face 3 times a day with a good acne cleanser

Ideally wash your face when you wake up, at lunch time/mid-day and before bed with a cleanser that is meant for skin that has acne. Skin would clear when you stick to the routine and used only skin care products meant for skin with acne. A bar of soap meant for washing your face does the trick just as well. (If you do not carry face cleanser with you, take a piece of cotton(preferably) or a tissue paper & wet it to tap along your face)

4. Stick to acne skin care

Always stick to the acne care that suits your skin best. Everytime I see my pals with exceptionally radiant skin, I want to use whatever they use. Know your skin well and do not switch the product unless if it is necessary. Finding a good and reliable skin care would improve our skin problems. 

5. Relax

Did you notice how pimples tend to appear more before a stressful event? Exams? A big date? A presentation? Stress wreaks havoc on your skin. Ok, pimples can also pop up due to hormonal imbalances, like just before period for females.

6. Sleep

Your skin heals itself when you sleep. Your entire body heals itself in your sleep. A night without sleep may lead to more pimples. Make it a habit to leave your worries behind and get a good night's sleep. Work out more earlier in the day. Get some exercise before evening. It will help
