To effectively manage acne-prone skin, patience is required, as results from a new skincare routine may take several weeks to appear. To avoid increased inflammation and potential scarring, avoid picking or touching breakouts. Avoid touching your face at all because your hands can transfer dirt and oil to your face, resulting in clogged pores and breakouts.
A healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains promotes overall skin health. Get enough sleep to avoid an increase in cortisol production, a hormone that can cause breakouts when you're sleep-deprived. Additionally, stress management is critical because it can aggravate acne. To have healthier skin, incorporate stress-relieving activities into your routine, such as exercise, yoga, or meditation.
Clearing acne is more about the routine you adhere to and using the appropriate products. Success in managing acne is often tied to the consistency of your skincare practices and the suitability of the products you incorporate into your routine:
• Wash your face to start your morning and evening skincare routine.
• Apply a targeted breakout treatment after washing your face. Salicylic acid in products for example clears pores and reduces redness.
• Moisturize. Even oily skin needs it. A light, oil-free moisturizer will keep your skin moist without clogging your pores.
• Peel your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores.
• Use an SPF 30 or higher sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days. The sun can worsen acne
