Skin care tips to get rid of pimples
You might have already visited your skin doctor more than a couple of times in order to get rid of pimples. Haven’t you? Well, it’s a known fact that each one of you has distinctive skin type, skin tone, lifestyle, and genetic histories. This makes it almost impossible to have a one-size-fits-all solution. Read on to explore the best skin care tips in order to get rid of pimples.
Wash your face daily
The first and most important rule is remembering to wash your face! Cleansing your skin twice a day is the best way to keep pimples at bay.
Don’t over-exfoliate your skin
Scrubbing your face daily with grainy cleansers and exfoliating products can do more harm than good. When done too often, it can cause redness, inflammation, and irritation. Exfoliating a pimple pulls away healthy skin cells and creates an open wound. Moreover, it leads to a higher risk of scarring.
Regularly change your face towel
Consistently reaching for your go-to face towel every day is not at all recommended. Using dirty towels can haven bacteria and they can even introduce new bacteria to your skin, which, in turn, might lead to even more pimples.
Moisturize
Are you thinking that moisturizer will make your pimples even worse? Well, you should know that it can help to improve your skin. If your skin surface is dry, the oil glands tend to overproduce oil and this, in turn, can make pimples even worse. Hydrating the skin surface can re-balance oil glands and help control pimples and improve healing.
Skip makeup when you’re working out
Before hopping on the treadmill, wash your face and remove your makeup to minimize the risk of breakouts. Makeup covers the visible pores on your skin. This barrier doesn't allow the sweat to make it to the surface of the skin, which can lead to clogged pores. The trapped debris and bacteria are an impeccable breeding ground for pimples.
Wash your face post-workout
After sweating, you should immediately use an exfoliating cleanser in order to help keep your pores clear and remove excess oil. If you have pimples on your body, taking a shower as soon as possible after working out is also key. Standing around in tight, sweaty workout clothes puts you at the greatest risk for itchy white spots on skin. The bacteria on the skin can cause inflammation. It is unwaveringly established that taking a shower soon after your workout is the best defense against body pimples.
Change your pillowcases
Unwashed bed sheets and pillowcases can lead to cross-contamination which, in turn, can lead to pimples. It’s advised to wash your bedding once or twice a week in order to prevent bacteria from building up and affecting your complexion. If not, at least wash your pillowcase once a week since that’s where your face rests while you dream of flawless skin.
Keep your phone screen clean
If you think of how many times a day you touch your phone, you should know that it gets pretty germy. You should clean your screen daily with an alcohol wipe. And when possible, it is recommended to use the speaker option or headphones so your phone isn’t resting on your face as often.
