Let's get something clear, pimples are a pain in the butt. They're ugly, irritating, embarrassing, intrusive, and unwelcome. The problem is, most of us add unnecessary bacteria and oil to our skin's surface without regard, thereby fueling the pimple fire. This can be easily side-stepped by taking note of the following measures:

KEEP YOUR FACE CLEAN

Allowing excess sebum to form under the skin leads to clogged pores, which in turn trap oil, grease, and bacteria!the classic breeding ground for pimples. It is imperative your face is washed once or twice a day with a natural cleanser that will not irritate your sensitive skin.

STOP POPPING

Although the temptation is there to pop pimples, please resist the urge. Popping pimples effectively embeds bacteria deep into the skin thereby increasing inflammation, redness, and scarring.

FINGERS AWAY FROM THE FACE

It is best to avoid touching your face unless necessary. Your fingers are the underlying external depositors of bacteria, which cause the pores to become inflamed in the first place. Just like your fingers, glasses carry oil which clogs pores and because they are in physical contact with your face you should keep them clean at all times.

GIVE THEM AIR

If you are prone to body acne try to abstain from wearing tight clothes that restrict the ability of your skin to breath. Also abstain from scarves, headbands, and caps for the reason that they accumulate dirt and oil, thereby increasing the likelihood of causing irritation.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKEUP ON

It is important to always remove makeup before going to sleep in order to avoid unnecessary oil buildup. Also, only wear makeup that 100% natural or 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' in order to limit unwanted irritation with your skin.

TIE UP YOUR HAIR

Your hair should always remain clean and off your face so as to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.

WEAR SUNSCREEN

It is vital to protect your skin from the sun. Exposure to UV rays elicits the creation of additional amounts of sebum, which in turn, propagates acne outbreaks.

Following these 7 steps will make sure pimple attacks are a thing of the past. However, if you are finding it hard to deal with current acne outbreaks, or you have extensive acne scarring you might need to engage the assistance of a natural skin care solution.
