Simple skin care routine for acne sufferers

Below is a simple acne prone skin care regimen that works regardless of your skin type:

1. Wash your face no more than TWICE a day. Here's how to do it:

a) Use a gentle soap like Dove or Ivory (although Dove is technically not a soap)

b) Wet the soap with warm water

c) Gently lather the soap on your skin in a circular motion using your fingers or a soft washcloth

d) Thoroughly rinse your face with warm water (should take no more than a few seconds)

e) Gently pat your skin dry using a clean, soft towel

This simple acne prone skin care face washing technique will go a long way towards helping your overall condition.

2. Protect yourself from the sun

This is especially important for acne sufferers. You may have heard that a small amount of sun exposure can actually help your acne. While there may be some truth to this in the short term, over-exposure to UVA and UVB rays will actually make your acne worse in the long run.

Here's why...

Excessive sun dries out your skin, which causes your sebaceous glands to kick into overdrive.

The result? Excess oil.

Exposure to the sun also damages your skin. Your body's natural response to damaged skin is to repair itself by sloughing off the old skin and replacing it with new, healthy skin (you've seen this first hand if you've ever peeled after a sun burn).

The result? Excess dead skin cells.

So what's the big deal?

Excess oil + Excess dead skin cells = Clogged pores

And clogged pores are the root cause of most acne blemishes.

So a good acne prone skin care regimen requires that you be sun-smart and do things like wear sunscreen and avoid tanning salons.

 

Determing your skin type
