Get Spot Reduction In 5 Amazing Ways

Have hyperpigmentation, spots, melasma or other skin issues that have led to an uneven skin tone? Well, you are not the only ones. And you are not going to be stuck with them for all your life either! So, what are some of the ways in which you can get spot reduction? Here are some tips that will help you out.

1. Don’t Touch The Zit (Or Your Face) – Your hands and nails have many bacteria, which even you are possibly not aware of. Hence, as hard as it is to resist touching that outbreak on your skin, make it a point to not touch it or else it will leave permanent scars on your face. What you can do instead is opt for a topical cream recommended by your skin specialist or dermatologist and apply it as directed by them. This will reduce the zits and keep your skin clear.

2. Use a Skin Cleansing Brush – 

Skin cleansing brushes are amazing for deep cleansing your skin. They will help you eliminate all the dead skin cells, which are there on the skin by gently exfoliating it. Moreover, it also removes the top layer of the skin in a way, which also includes the unsightly spots and other marks. All you need to remember is to keep this brush clean and replacing as and when needed.

3. Focus on the Night Care –

You may be taking sufficient care of your skin during the day. But does it also hold true for the night as well? Make sure that you have a complete nighttime regimen as it is the time when the skin will heal or repair itself. For instance, if you are opting for a treatment for skin whitening in Oman, you may be asked to use a special formula to be used right before your bedtime. This will surely keep those spots away.

4. Use a Sunscreen Without Fail –

Sun exposure is one of the major reason why you may be forming permanent spots on your skin, apart from tanning. Hence, do carry your sunscreen with SPF 30 or more wherever you go. If you have oily skin, then opt for a sunscreen that is water based. Similarly, go for a hydrating sunscreen if you have a dry skin.

5. Eat Well –

While this has nothing directly to do with spot correction when you eat a balanced and nutritious diet, you can be assured that the skin will be soft, supple and retain the hydration levels. This will prevent future breakouts from occurring. 

 These are some of the ways you can eradicate spots from your skin and prevent new ones from occurring. Have some more tips that can be added to the list? Let us know in the comments.

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.

Calling it a Day
