WEB DESK: People are seen to be anxious about acne.We are having all kind of pollution around us. The most we have to face is air pollution that effect our skin at worst.
Clean and flawless skin is liked and desired by all and acne is not a problem that can be ignored. Here we have some simple tips for you that can help you to have clean and fresh skin and protect your skin from acne. Have a look:
The leftover make-up traces can mingle with the extra oil on your face which acts as food for bacteria, causing blackheads and eventually acne.
Wipe your face with an alcohol-free make-up remover followed by mild washing with a deep pore cleanser.
Go for regular cleanups at the premises of a professional salon to flaunt a zit-free skin all the time. While scrubbing will take of all the dead skin, scars, uneven skin tone, the face pack will soothe your skin by closing all the skin pores opened during the session.
Steaming, ozone and removing blackhead rejuvenate your skin up to a great extent. Although, you should never scrub your existing acne.
Use clean brushes and sponges; and discard every old cosmetic product before it expires to save your skin from acne. Maintain a proper CTMP (Cleansing, Toning, Moisturising and Protecting) ritual using suitable products.
Apply a toner or an astringent, depending upon what suits your skin. End up with a moisturizer according to the season. Do not scratch or pick acne as it would spread the infection. Splashing cool water on face prevents your woes.
Make sure to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen above SPF 30 along with PA+++ properties regardless of weather or time of the day and bid adieu to pimples.
Junk food can become a major cause of acne too. The more greasy and unhealthy food you eat, the more likely it is to take a toll on your skin. Though most of us crave for ice creams, aerated cold drinks and sugary beverages, in order to prevent pimples, we must avoid sugary and starchy products like cakes, chocolates, white bread, fried food and sweets.
Add plenty of fresh fruits, salads, curd, sprouts and lemon to your diet. These foods are vital sources of vitamins and minerals that help in preventing as well as healing acne-ridden skin.
Avoid using greasy, cream-based make-up products as it can clog the pores, irritate your skin resulting in breakouts. Instead, choose make-up products that are powder or gel-based. Skip heavy and oily ones to wave off your woes.
Water flushes out toxins from the body and makes the skin look cleansed and hydrated. Drinking 10-12 glasses of water improves the blood circulation and also flushes the toxins out of your body.
Avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Try and remain physically active. Yoga and exercise boost metabolism and improve your skin. Breathing exercises and stretching involved in yoga ensures proper blood circulation in your body to make the skin acne-free.
Make a powder using a few dried neem and mint leaves and add half spoon of calamine powder, a pinch of turmeric powder and rose water, to turn it into a paste.
Apply it daily all over the face to diminish as well as prevent the occurrence of pimples. Neem has disinfecting properties while mint with its antibacterial properties will make the area germ free. Turmeric will help heal the area and rose water will leave it with a refreshed feel.
