Skin Care

Nobody thinks it’s fun to have acne, and millions of teens are affected yearly, and amount of acne sufferers are increasing.

1. Squeezing Zits

Stop squeezing pimples, today. When you squeeze a pimple you could be shoving the puss in it back into the pores. This means the puss is going back in, instead of coming out. This will only aggravate the problem, by spreading the bacteria further which causes more infection.

2. Scrubbing Acne Infected Areas

If you scrub the affected area you will cause open, oozing sore. These will take much longer to heals, and are much more prone to get infected. So don’t scrub areas that are affected by acne.

The more you scrub, the worse it will get. Use a mild treatment instead. A non-allergic, mild soap is the best option. If you really want to make sure the area is kept clean, you can use the soap with a soft cloth, three times a day. This will prevent the area form becoming re-infected.

3. Give up Make-Up

The infected areas must be able to breathe so that they can heal. Since make-up clogs up the pores, you need to stop using make-up for a while.

4. Medication

Be careful when you use over the counter medication. Some might be a bit too harsh for your skin, and will only cause irritation. If you use the medication too much it might actually make the condition worse.

To sum this up, seeing a dermatologist is probably for the best if you are suffering from very severe acne. Be careful with what creams and ointments you are using, if they are harsh they will make your acne worse. And never, ever squeeze your pimples, it will scar you. Choose treatments and products according to your skin type for best results.
