Skin Care For Acne
Caring for your skin is important for good health and beauty,
but especially so if you are prone to acne. One of the best ways
to keep acne under control is to maintain your skin's health as
much as possible. This means keeping the skin clean and
protecting it from damage from sunshine and harsh cosmetics.
Cleansing Your Skin
Wash your face twice a day with a gentle soap or special acne
skin cleanser, using a gentle, circular motion of the
fingertips. Do not scrub, since this can aggravate acne. Moisten
the face with warm water, then apply cleanser from the hairline
to the neck. Rinse with lots of water and pat dry with a soft
towel. Those with especially oily skin may need to use an
astringent, but it must be alcohol-free, and used with care.
Apply it only to the oiliest parts of the face and discontinue
use immediately if your skin becomes irritated. If you feel you
need an astringent, you may need to see a dermatologist instead.
Hair care is also important -- shampoo twice a week to as often
as daily, keeping the shampoo away from your face as much as
possible.
Protect Your Skin From The Sun
A suntan may dry your skin, making the acne less noticeable, but
this is only temporary. As your skin becomes accustomed to sun
exposure, the acne will flare up again. Meanwhile you are
risking skin damage that can cause premature aging and skin
cancer. Many medications that treat acne cause the skin to
become more sensitive to sunlight and more vulnerable to
burning. Whatever the weather, you should wear sunscreen on your
face and any other exposed skin when outdoors. Choose Makeup
With Care
The best choice for good
acne skin care is to wear no makeup at
all. But if you feel you must wear makeup, choose products
labeled noncomedogenic -- that means they will not clog your
pores. Be aware that these products may still cause acne in some
people. Above all, avoid makeup with an oil base. Read the
labels carefully and use sparingly.
Shaving
Try both electric razors and safety razors to see which causes
the least irritation to skin blemishes. Always use a sharp blade
in a safety razor -- change the blade every 2 or 3 shaves. You
may have to shave around blemishes to avoid cutting them. Be
sure to soften the beard as much as possible with warm water and
shaving cream before starting. If your skin is covered with
blemishes, perhaps it is best to skip shaving that day.
No Touching
As tempting as it may be to squeeze pimples, don't! That invites
more trouble by spreading the bacteria which cause pimples. It
can also lead to permanent scarring.
Try to avoid touching your face as much as possible because the
hands carry dirt, oil and germs.
Rest assured that acne can be brought under control. Medications
will go a long way toward clearing your skin of acne. Your job
is to help the healing process along as much as possible by
taking good care of your skin.
