5 Skin Care tips for Acne and Breakouts

Acne, pimples, zits…call them by any name and they will stay as unsightly and as unwanted as ever! The eruptions on the skin occur due to various reasons, which can be rooted in your lifestyle, type of skin, genetics or external aggressors. These show up on the skin at the onset of puberty and for some people, may extend well after they are 25 years old. That said, here are some of the top skin care tips that will help you manage your acne and breakouts.

1.       Wash Your Face Properly – The first rule of the thumb is to make sure that your skin is clean and devoid of any impurities. This begins with thorough cleansing using a facewash or cleanser that is specifically meant for acne-prone skin. If you are too tired of washing your face or have no time, keep some baby wipes or wet tissues handy to wipe off the extra dirt, dust and grime from your skin.

2.       Over Exfoliation is a No – While scrubbing your face once a week is a must, over exfoliating it may aggravate the breakouts more. Also, it will lead to redness, swelling, inflammation and spread it further. It may even lead to scarring. Hence, you need to ensure that you are extra careful with the exfoliation bit and restrict it to no more than 2-3 times a week.

3.       Clean The Tools and Towels – Makeup tools such as beauty blenders, sponges, applicators and brushes need to be cleaned on a regular basis. The same also holds true for your face towels. Using dirty tools and towels can transfer new bacteria on the face, leading to an acne disaster. This applies to your pillowcases and phone screens too. Hence, keep everything spotlessly clean and switch them to make sure that your face is devoid of new breakouts.

4.       Let the Pores Breathe – The mainstay of a good skin is to let your pores breathe. Some of the ways to ensure this is wearing absolutely no makeup during makeup, using sunscreens, moisturizers and other products that do not clog the pores.  

5.       Don’t Use Odd Home Remedies – Odd home remedies such as applying toothpaste or rubbing alcohol may sound tempting and interesting. However, these can aggravate your acne. Instead, go for the products recommended by your aesthetician or dermatologist. Or simply opt for acne treatment in Kenya or anywhere you are based out of.
