Acne Skin Care Regimen to Help You Achieve Smooth Clear Skin

 

By Tiffany Moore

 

I'm sure most acne sufferers are obsessed with washing their faces regularly and avoiding certain foods in their diet. Although the main cause of acne is not due to poor hygiene or eating certain foods, there are some factors that can worsen your acne conditions, leading to more pimples or zits on your face.

 

In order to reduce the recurrence of acne breakouts on your skin, proper acne skin care is necessary. If you suffer from adult or teenage acne, don't despair. Here are some proven acne skin care tips to help you achieve smooth clear skin you deserve.

How to Care for Acne Prone Skin

One factor that could worsen your acne condition is clogged pores, which results in more pimples on your face. Wash your face no more than 3 times a day, and you should use lukewarm water.

Avoid soaps that contain chemicals and ingredients that damage your skin. Instead, use a mild cleanser. Remember to avoid excessive scrubbing and  pad your face dry after each wash.

Avoid touching, squeezing, rubbing or picking your pimples and other lesions. If you do that, it can lead to severe acne scarring and more acne flare-ups.

If you are a guy, then you should be careful how you shave. Try and find out which razor type works best for your skin. One good tip is to use "twin blades" shaving sticks instead of electric razors and always shave gently to avoid scrapping your acne lesions, which could result in acne scars.

If you are a gal, be aware that using certain type of cosmetics can actually worsen your acne problem or could even be the major cause of your breakouts.

Oil-based (comedogenic) cosmetics are the major culprits in worsening your acne condition and you should stay clear of such cosmetics. Try using water-based (non-comedogenic) cosmetics, which do not clog your pores.

If you are light-skinned, and you sunbathe regularly, you should try to reduce sun exposure. Ultraviolet rays from the sun would dry the outer layers of your skin resulting in skin peeling.

Besides, regular exposure to high intensity sunlight makes you more susceptible to skin cancer.

You can greatly improve your acne condition by eating foods that are rich in antioxidants such as bright colored fruits and green leafy vegetables. These foods can keep you healthy by slowing down cell regeneration, prevent age spots and skin discoloration.

Did you know that your water intake affects your skin health too? Water helps flush toxins out of your body and gives you a dewy radiant complexion. It is recommended that you drink at least 10 to 12 glasses of water per day. Plain water is best. It's free and has zero calories!

When shopping for the best acne skin care system, look for one that consists of a deep cleansing facial and body wash, protection cream and a herbal supplement to fight acne inside the body.

You can try Revitol's acnezine system which has a skin anti-oxidant capsules and a moisturizing cream to keep your skin is clear of acne.
