Dealing with acne problems is just part of being a teenager. Knowing that we are not alone in our acne issues can help dealing them easier when we are teenagers, no matter how embarrassed we are by our “pizza faces”. As adults we are supposed to have grown out of the frequent breakouts of our puberty years. It is partly because of this belief that so many adults are thrown for a loop when the random zit or pimple makes an appearance on their faces. Waking up to find some spots or bumps sends us right back into our teenage angst. What makes adult breakouts worse is how painful they can be. Use these tips to help you fight your acne whether you are still in high school or are all grown up.
Take steps to ensure that your all of your bedding is clean. It might surprise you to learn that there are some people who choose not to wash their linens regularly. If you suffer from acne problems, you cannot be one of these people. You will want to wash your linens, especially your pillowcases every few day or two. This will ensure that dust and other pore cloggers have a hard time getting into your face while you sleep. Make sure you always wear clean clothes and pajamas. Something as seemingly benign as wearing last night’s pajamas could be just enough to clog some of the pores in your face and cause new pimples to form by morning.
Try not to touch your face. Most of us don’t realize just how often we touch our faces during the day. Touching our faces is one of the reasons that pimples keep coming back. Take a minute to think about this. If you touch something and then touch your face, in essence, you are touching your face with that something. Your hands always have a thin layer of oil on them and when you rest your face in your hands, you are transferring that oil into your pores. This is partly what makes it so easy for you to catch the flu: you pick up something that has been touched by someone who is sick and then later brush something off of your face and transfer the germs right onto your face where they have easy access to your nose, eyes, mouth, ears and pores: all places to infect with the flu! This is why you should try not touch your face with your hands.
You might already have the perfect remedy in your kitchen or bathroom. Have you ever tried using toothpaste on a zit before? Squeeze some toothpaste onto a pimple or zit after it has formed and leave it on overnight. In the morning you will find that your pimple has shrunk quite a lot (this method is bad if you have pets who might be tempted to taste the toothpaste because doing that could make them ill). You might also try using egg whites in your facial cleanser and as a zit reducer. You can either do spot treatment by putting some egg whites directly onto your pimples or you can use the egg whites to make a facial mask.
You can choose the best method of treating your acne. Whether you need a strong chemical based cleanser or can get by with just some natural ingredients, your choices are wide and varied. Believe it or not there are even some people who are able to cure their acne with diet and exercise. Finding the ultimate cure for your acne is a trial and error process. You will learn what works best for your skin and what is better left for others. Keep trying and before you know it your skin will be acne free!
