How to Avoid Acne - The 3 Don s

By: W. Darren - If you regularly have bouts of acne breakouts, you need to know the things that you should not do in order to avoid the breakouts. Sometimes, it’s the little things that you do that actually cause the acne. You probably have your own practices that are actually detrimental to your skin’s health. Of course, what might cause acne to one may not necessarily trigger breakout to another. However, there are things that all people must do if they want to avoid acne breakouts. These rules apply to everyone regardless of probable causes of acne.

1. Do Not Keep Your Hands on Your Face

It’s tempting to touch your face especially if you have noticed a pimple coming out. People have this tendency to constantly check, poke and even prick at everything on their face. If you don’t need to touch your face, don’t! If you need to, make sure that you have thoroughly washed your hands clean before you touch your face. Your hands can cause the pimples since you could transfer dirt, bacteria and oil from your hands to your face which then causes acne.

People are fond of pricking at inflammations. If you need to drain pus, you should know how to properly drain it and then make sure to disinfect the area so the pus won’t spread onto neighboring pores.

Adopting clean hand habits will ensure that you won’t transfer dirt to your face in case you accidentally touch your face. Wash your hands after every meal or snack and especially if you’ve been using your computer keyboard. Make sure that your fingernails are clean too. Dirt and bacteria can be transferred from your nails to your face if you unthinkingly scratch your face with dirty nails. If you need to clean your face, use a handkerchief, a tissue paper or a blotting paper.

2. Do Not Use Harsh Chemicals on Your Skin

Harsh chemicals are primary causes of acne. Make sure that you use the gentlest or the mildest cleansers, astringents, washes, soap and shampoo. Avoid mixing or using a lot of products. One moisturizer is enough or one type of gentle cleanser will do. Do not get two or more cleansers or more moisturizers and astringents of different brand. Too many chemicals will harm your skin.

Think “baby-soft skin”. Don’t stop choosing products that are hypoallergenic and mild just because you’re 38 years old! Your skin needs the gentlest formulas as much as a baby skin needs it. Hypoallergenic products are ideal when you’re choosing skin lotions, facial masks or scrubs and exfoliating creams. Hypoallergenic products usually undergo countless laboratory test to be certified.

3. Do Not Wash Your Skin Frequently

Yes, you probably heard that you need to wash your skin regularly. The operative word, however, is “regularly”. You should at least wash your face twice a day. Washing your face five times or more in a day is going overboard. Too much washing will aggravate your acne if you already have one. It will irritate your skin and it could cause acne.
