Ageless Medica team guides you on some basic skin care on daily basis.
Say goodbye to unwanted acne by following the steps below!
1. Proper Hygiene
Acne is not limited to the face, some people also have acne on their chest, upper arms, and back. It is important that you practice proper hygiene. Excessive cleansing will only cause your skin to dry up and your oil glands to go on overdrive. A good rule of thumb is to shower once a day and wash your face twice a day. Following this regimen will rid your skin of dirt and excess oil, preventing it from getting trapped in your pores, and thus, will help prevent break outs.
2. Choose the Right Cleanser
Acne prone skin can also be very sensitive, you can also use a medicated cleanser and make sure that the ingredients include salicylic acid. You may notice a bit of drying and flaking in the beginning but this is normal. Salicylic acid works by entering the pores and drying acne from the inside. However, you need to be patient because it takes time before you can see results. All the treatment should take under proper doctors guidance.
3. Moisturize with Care
This step can be really tricky because you want to be careful not to over moisturize. Cleansing your skin strips it of oil which causes oil glands to make up for what was lost by producing more oil. However, by applying a suitable moisturizer, you will be able to prevent your oil glands from becoming hyperactive.
4. Exfoliate Once a Week
Exfoliate your skin using a mild facial or body scrub, this will rid you of dead skin cells that may clog your pores. It's recommended that you only exfoliate once a week as excessive scrubbing will cause your skin to become more irritated. Remember to be cautious in choosing a scrub because rubbing hard grains against your skin may cause your acne to flame up.
5. Go Easy on Makeup
Mineral makeup is highly recommended for those that have acne prone skin. Aside from being made from natural ingredients, they also contain vitamins and minerals that can help heal acne. Make sure to remember to use a primer to help control oil.
