Acne Does Not Have To Be A Lifetime Curse

By Lawrence Apricot


Acne is one of those conditions that can plague you even if you do take fairly good care of your skin. Any clogged pore could lead to infection and swelling, and eventually, a multitude of blemishes. Before you know it, you could be dealing with serious acne. Nip acne in the bud with these helpful tips.

Reducing stressful situations in your life can also reduce your chance of developing acne. Although stress doesn't directly lead to acne, a lot of unhealthy habits developed during stress can. Some people even increase their oil formation when faced with stress. Eliminating stress to the best of your ability can actually have positive effects on your complexion.

Limiting the amount of caffeine that you drink can help you reduce acne. Caffeine encourages your body to give off an abundance of stress hormones. These hormones make acne worse, so it is important to stay away from things like chocolate, coffee and tea. Reducing these foods should cause you to see a noticeable difference in your skin.

Use a cotton ball to rub apple cider vinegar into acne trouble spots to help fight infection. All types of vinegar are useful for balancing the pH of human skin, which contributes to its overall health. A good pH balance also aids skin's resistance to acne infection. Apple cider vinegar is particularly good for acne because it is all-natural and non-irritating.

If you have acne or pimples underneath on or near your armpits, you may want to avoid scented deodorants. These kinds of deodorants prevent acne healing under the armpits and can actually cause the acne to spread. Try to find a deodorant that is lightly scented or not scented at all.

When trying to cure acne, stay away from alcohol, whether you consume it or use products containing alcohol. Alcohol's astringent properties work to strip away the top layer of the skin, this causes an increase in oil production. Oil works to clog your pores and cause blemishes and blackheads.

As stated in the beginning of this article, if you have a newborn baby then you probably have your pediatrician on speed dial. Any breakouts that appear on your babies skin can send you into a panic. Sometimes babies develop acne, which is very treatable. Apply the advice from this article to assist you in handling your babies acne in a gentle way.
