If you suffer from acne/breakouts, then you know it can be quiet an annoying and irritating skin condition to deal with. Acne prone skin doesn't affect you just physically, but emotionally as well. It can lower one's self esteem, making you feel not so good about the way you look. You've probably been to several dermatologist and follow a strict skin care regimen to combat your acne prone skin. But, did you know there are simple ways that you can minimise and prevent breakouts besides using treatments? Here are some simple, easy steps that you can take in your everyday life to minimise breakouts.
Refrain from touching your face throughout the day. Your hands carry a lot of germs and viruses picked up by touching various surfaces. You don't want to transfer bacteria from your hands to your face.
Wash your hands before starting your skin care regimen. You always want to use clean, germ free hands before applying your topical creams and treatments.
Use a separate towel or wash cloth for drying your face.
By using the same towel you use on your entire body to dry your face, you are spreading unwanted bacteria onto your face which will in turn cause inflammation.
Always pat dry and never rub to prevent irritation and microscopic tears.
Wash/change your pillow case and face towel once or twice a week, or more often for severe acne. Everyday pollutants stuck in your hair rub off onto your pillow and in turn gets onto your face, seeping into your pores while you sleep.
Did you know that by switching from a cotton pillow case to a satin pillow case, will cause less stress and tension on your skin, prevent wrinkles and fine lines and prevent moisture loss.
Keep your makeup brushes clean. I recommend cleansing makeup brushes once a week and sanitising your brushes in between uses. You can use just about any type of soap such as dish detergent, shampoo or brush cleaner to clean your makeup brushes. You can use Beauty So Clean brush cleaner or rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle in between uses to keep brushes germ-free.
Always remove makeup before bed. Sleeping in your makeup clogs your pores and prevents your skin from breathing and getting the vital oxygen it needs to repair itself through the night.
Over time, sleeping in your makeup ages your skin a great deal, making it look dull and tired, even if you feel refreshed and wide awake.
