Many people suffer from adult acne, but despite this acne is still seen as a teenage problem. We all think we will outgrow it but many of us don’t. This article gives you the best skincare routine you can give your skin to help prevent breakouts and keep your skin looking clearer.
Most people believe that acne is caused by dirt and muck but unless you have a job where you get filthy, zits are not as a result of dirt clogging your pores. They are inflammations in the skin so no matter how much you clean this will not get rid of them.
In fact if your skin care routine is too intense, you can actually make your adult acne worse. The best thing to do is to keep your adult acne skin care routine to a minimum.
1. Use a mild cleanser or just water to wash your face.
Try to avoid harsh cleansers or chemicals when it comes to face care. Using something hrash will dry out your skin and irritate it. This can trigger the bacteria under your skin to produce more sebum and this can block your sebum canals. When these are blocked you will get an accumulation of sebum which will also irritate the skin and thus create even more sebum! When the canals are blocked, bacteria will cause inflammation and you will have a break out. Thus, harsh cleansers just make the problem worse.
2. Avoid Moisturiser
Most moisturisers on the market contain chemicals that attract water which can make your skin retain it. This water retention causes sebum canals to pinch off (i.e. zits) and this is what you want to avoid.
3. Use Oil Instead.
To protect your skin from dehydration and flaking use an oil instead of moisturiser. This is much more effective. All you need is a fingertip of oil – this is enough to spread over your entire face. I have had greatest success with walnut oil and recently coconut oil. I prefer coconut oil because it smells lovely. I bought some unprocessed coconut oil from Ebay and have had great success with it.
