Don't pick, squeeze, pop, push, press or otherwise manipulate your pimples in any way. Doing this can not only increase the risk of spreading bacteria, but it can also cause you to have permanent scarring. There are a number of healthy things you can do to fight acne and pimples instead. 1. Try over the counter acne products that contain benzoyl peroxide up to twice a day. This will help decrease the amount of bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide comes in different concentrations. You should start out with lower concentrations to reduce drying of the skin. If necessary, you can move to higher concentrations later. Use a moisturizer for acne to keep skin hydrated.
2. Wash your face once or twice per day, using a mild soap. For oily skin you should use a cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide.
3. Have you noticed a concentration of acne on the side of your face or cheek? Change your pillow case frequently. A clean pillow case will decrease the chance of spreading bacteria.
4. Don't use any hard brushes, sponges or cleansers on your face. It can damage your skin.
5. Avoid oil based facial products. Opt for make-up that is water based. Certain make-ups even have oil absorbing qualities. The ones with sunscreen will also help protect your skin. 6. If you use a concealer, buy one that contains acne fighting ingredients.
7. Try not to touch your face with your hands. This can encourage the spread of bacteria.
8. Drink plenty of water and eat a healthy balanced diet. Pay attention to see if certain foods cause breakouts.
9. Vitamins A, C and E as well as Iron work well in fighting acne and can be purchased at your local drug store. Vitamin E can also help repair scarring, either by taking it orally or applying it directly to the affected area.
10. If you take birth control, ask your doctor to prescribe one that helps deter acne. 11. Honey has a natural antimicrobial action and has been used to fight acne for a long time. Try a honey mask!
12. Moderate exercise will help blood flow and the elimination of toxins.
13. Spend some time outside. Vitamin D from the sun helps reduce acne. Just don't over do it. You don't want to get sun burn.
14. Reduce stress that can cause acne flair ups. Spend time with friends, exercise, take a walk in the park, listen to music or take a yoga class. There are no magic solutions to get rid of acne, but eating right, drinking plenty of water, reducing stress and using proper skin care will help a lot.
