Luckily, there are a number of things you can do everyday to make sure your skin is less prone to pimple flare ups. Here are
5 awesome tips for taking
get rid of your pimple starting today.
1. Workout or Exercies - Keeping in shape can aid in fighting acne by fighting off negative stress levels that comes from negative self-esteem and depression. Even So, some precautions need to be set to ward off acne that can result from your workout routines. See what you put on your body with regards to wear, sports gearing and equipments.
For example, tight lycra and nylon workout getups might look good in the movies and on magazine models, but if you are susceptible to acne problems, you should avoid these synthetic fabrics that tend to trap in body moisture and heat leading in a bacteria frenzy. Instead, choose loose wear made of cotton or natural blends to allow more air to get to your skin.
And when you are finished with your workout, get out of wet wear from perspiration. Shower and switch into dry, clean wear. And keep your sports gearing and equipment clean, too. Dirty headgear, for instance, can irritate forehead areas prone to pimple problems. So toss your headbands to the laundry after exercise sessions.
2. Cosmetics - To avoid clogging of pores and skin irritations that are similar to pimple, use products labeled noncomedogenic or oil-free. Shimmering facial colors can contain a flaky mineral called mica that can cause skin irritations and blocked pores. Other additives in coloring that can cause similar reactions are coal tar derivatives, carmine and heavy cream in blush-ons.
More preventive measures include using a lip gloss that promotes a matte finish rather of a high gloss for less pore-clogging; note that the more the shine, the more comedogenic content and the more the pores can clog. Also, be wary that eye emollients can contain greater densities of moisturizers than regular creams and lotions, meaning they have greater potential to clog pores in the surrounding facial areas.
3. Diet - Studies show that diet doesn't play a role in either the cause or the treatment of pimple. Even So, what is recommended for pimple preventative care is this: what is best for your body is best for your skin, especially since your skin is the largest organ of your body. So remember to watch your diet and consume healthy vitamins, minerals and other supplements. This will aid to prevent and conquer acne breakouts.
This is a large topic and hopefully I would cover more on my next posts.
4. Hygiene - A healthy skin regimen should include no harsh scrubbing up or over-washing, because this can stimulate skin irritation or possible over production of oil to replace what has washed off, clogging pores in the process. Products with gentle exfoliation ingredients are OK to use. And skip alcohol products when possible; these can take off the top layer of your skin and stimulate your sebaceous glands to produce more oil, clogging pores in the process.
If you do spot pimple-troubled regions, do NOT mess with them. Remember that these are already weeks in the making, and squeezing or picking blemishes can force the infected area to regress back inside, further troubling the region and possibly leave a permanent scar. If necessary, seek the help from a skin doctor for alternative treatments.
5. Shaving - Shaving for both genders is actually an excellent way of exfoliating or removing dead skin to aid with the prevention and distributing of pimple instead of leaving the remains to clog pores. And for some light acne cases already in process, shaving can aid rid whiteheads and blackheads from the face. A word of caution: for regions with infection or high inflammatory activity (redness, sensitive, open acne, sores, etc.), do not shave. Or to the lowest degree, use a shaving cream for sensitive skin!
