How to avoid Acne?
1. Do not wash affected areas of skin more than twice a day. Frequent washing can irritate the skin and make symptoms worse.
2. Wash the affected area with a mild soap or cleanser and lukewarm water. Very hot or cold water can make acne worse.
3. Do not try to "clean out" blackheads or squeeze spots. This can make them worse and cause permanent scarring.
4. Avoid using too much make-up and cosmetics. Use water-based products that are described as non-comedogenic. This means the product is less likely to block the pores in your skin.
5. Completely remove make-up before going to bed.
6. If dry skin is a problem, use a fragrance-free water-based emollient.
7. Regular exercise cannot improve your acne, but it can boost your mood and improve your self-esteem. Shower as soon as possible once you finish exercising as sweat can irritate your acne.
8. Wash your hair regularly and try to avoid letting your hair fall across your face.
Treatment - Benzoyl peroxide works as an antiseptic to reduce the number of bacteria on the surface of the skin.
It also helps to reduce the number of whiteheads and blackheads, and has an anti-inflammatory effect.
Benzoyl peroxide is usually available as a cream or gel. It's used either once or twice a day. It should be applied 20 minutes after washing to all of the parts of your face affected by acne.
A claim found on many websites is that toothpaste can dry up individual spots. While toothpaste does contain antibacterial substances, it also contains substances that can irritate and damage your skin. Using toothpaste in this way is not recommended. There are far more effective and safer treatments available from pharmacists or GPs.
