A healthy lifestyle is the first measure. Eat three good meals a day, drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day, and get the proper rest. Also, don't let stress control you. A frantic and unpredictable lifestyle can wreak havoc on your skin chemistry, increasing the chances of a breakout. If a pimple should appear, never under any circumstances should you pick at it or squeeze it. The redness will go away faster if you just leave the bump alone, no matter how hard that may be! Make sure you are cleaning your face every day, twice a day. Use a mild cleaning bar or liquid - one that also minimizes sensitivity and irritation. Use various mild scrubs or exfoliants that remove the outer layer of the skin and open pores. The products that contain fine granules or salicylic acid make it a mild peeling agent. Reducing oil on your skin is another important step in preventing outbreaks of acne. Althougn you can't stop your oil glands from forming but you can get rid of the excess oil. A gentle astringent can wipe away excess oil and are easily found where cosmetics are sold. Killing bacteria is another part of the acne preventative treatment which will minimize or prevent outbreaks of acne. Antibacterial cleansers can be found in over-the-counter products and they usually contain benzoyl peroxide. You can find these in the form of gels, lotions, and creams. Be sure you are sleeping on a clean pillowslip. Pillowslips absorb oil during the night and acne can be irritated. Oils get absorbed into the pillow case and may irritate the skin on subsequent nights. Keep your hair off your face. Use oil-free moisturizers that also contain an antibacterial agent. If you use make up, use oil-free foundation. A thick coat of make up can block the pores and cause acne to flare up. Apply a honey mask once or twice a week. Honey is great for disinfecting and healing minor blemishes and takes it easy on sensitive skin. Take a good multivitamin. Also, take a chromium supplement once a day. Eat carrots. These are rich in Vitamin A and beta-carotene, both of which are essential in repair tissue of the skin and mucous membranes. These are just a few simple hints that can be started today to help in your acne treatment regimen.
