1.
Healthy Diet
Drinking plenty of water
throughout the
day and making good, healthy dietary food choices including plenty of
fruits
and vegetables daily will help you maintain optimal health. You
probably know-
what is best for your body is best for your skin.
2.
Exercise
Regular exercise can help fight acne by fighting off negative stress
levels
that can come from negative self-esteem and depression. Avoid wearing
tight
lycra and nylon outfits.It will trap body moisture and heat making an
ideal
environment for bacteria to grow. Stick to loose clothing made of
cotton or
natural blends, and keep your sports gear and equipment clean.
 3.
Safe Cosmetics
Avoid pore-clogging
and skin irritations
products. Try to buy cosmetics and perfumes that are
"hypo-allergenic" and comedogenic or oil-free. Avoid mineral oil in
skin care products as they will just clog your pores and skin won’t
breathe.
Always read the label.
4.
Hormonal Treatment
Hormones (or a lack of them)
during later
years - especially for women - can play a role in acne flare-ups and
prevention. Studies show that about 50 percent of women have acne,
which is
referred to as hormonal acne, during the week before their
menstruation.
Treatment options include
topical retinoids,
oral antibiotics and benzoyl peroxide for teen years. Oral
contraceptives or
hormonal birth control pills and hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) may
be
helpful for women, combined with systemic or topical treatments,
prescription
or over-the-counter products and medications.
5.
Stress
Stress includes internal and external stressors. Internal stressors
like
anxiety, fear, low self-esteem, depression and a variety of other
internalized
emotions, can trigger chemical reactions inside your body that can
result in
acne flare-ups and other skin irritations. External stressors are those
that
compromise your skin's ability to heal, like oily make-up and too much
sun.
Get plenty of rest and
sleep. Read a book, rest, listen to music, take a walk and go out for
an ice
cream or cake.
6.
Healthy Skin Regime
It is very important
to avoid harsh
scrubbing or over-washing, because this can cause skin irritation and
can
contribute to an over production of oil to replace what's washed off,
clogging
pores in the process. Always use products with gentle exfoliation
ingredients
and avoid products that contain alcohol. Many
persons use every type of product,
including alcoholic detergents and exfoliant creams, often irritate the
skin
more than clear it!
7.
Shaving
Use a shaving cream for sensitive skin and do not shave areas that are
sore or
infected.
Gentle swipe using a sharp
blade (a
single-edged blade is better than a twin-blade razor).Electric razors
may not
shave as close to the skin, but they may be a better choice for the
prevention
of acne and other skin breakouts.
Treatments
– Alpha
hydroxy acid
and chemical peels acne treatment
The most successful
acne treatment methods may include laser acne treatment, acne blemish
laser
treatment, and acne rosacea treatment. Consult with your dermatologist
in order
to determine which adult acne removal treatment will work best for you.
Alpha
hydroxyl
(ascorbic acid
technique) works by reducing the levels of oil in the skin. It also
reduces the
number of dead cells in the skin so your face looks healthier and with
less
irritation. This particular acne care treatment is effective when used
in the
early or mid stages of the problem, but it also used in severe acne
treatment. Ascorbic
acid is found in several acne ointments and acne treatment drugs.
Chemical
peel treatments
are used to
remove age spots, mild scars, sun damaged skin, lines under the eyes
and around
the mouth. Acne treatments may include this method in which the
dermatologist
applies a certain chemical substance to the skin, so the targeted spot
blisters
can be peeled off. This method of acne care treatment is effective
mostly for
removing scars and is accompanies by stinging sensation and some heat.
