PREVENTION
Though there are often unavoidable factors that contribute to the formation of acne, there are skincare practices, lifestyle changes in some cases medical treatments that can help prevent acne.
Here are some tips to help prevent acne:
Maintain a Consistent Skincare Routine
Cleanse Gently
Practicing adequate make up removal and washing your face twice daily with a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil, dirt, and sweat. Avoid harsh scrubbing, which can irritate the skin and make acne worse.
Use Non-Comedogenic Products
Choose skincare and makeup products labeled as
“non-comedogenic” or “oil-free,” which are less likely to clog pores.
Avoid Touching Your Face
Try not to touch your face throughout the day, as this can transfer bacteria and oils from your hands to your face, potentially causing breakouts.
Don’t Pick or Squeeze Pimples
Picking or squeezing pimples can push bacteria deeper into the skin, increase inflammation, and lead to scarring.
Manage Stress
Stress can trigger hormonal changes that may lead to acne flare-ups. Practice stress-reducing activities like exercise, meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to help manage stress levels.
Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure
While some sun exposure can temporarily dry out acne, too much can damage your skin, worsen inflammation, and lead to breakouts. Always use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that is non-comedogenic to protect your skin.
Don’t suffer alone
There are multiple factors that contribute to developing acne, and many sufferers reports the condition severely affecting their self esteem.
Don’t suffer alone, professional treatments or medical grade skincare can help prevent the condition from worsening. Consider speaking to one of our practitioners at a complementary skin consultation.
