Clean your face regularly.
Whether you have acne or not, it is important to keep your face clean. Washing your face removes not just dirt, but also dead skin cells, oil and other impurities. Always use warm water and a mild face wash. A body/deodorant soap may irritate your skin and if your skin is already inflamed, it is sure to get worse.
Use moisturizer.
Your face tends to become dry once you’ve washed it. Always use a moisturizer as this minimizes the peeling of skin and dryness.
Beware of hair products.
Using hair sprays, gels and fragrances or harsh chemicals on your hair will multiply the occurrence of acne on your face, as these ingredients may drip on your face, blocking the pores. If you have oily hair, wash it as often as possible, especially if you are prone to acne and if you have long hair, keep it out of your face.
Periodically avoid cosmetics.
Use of cosmetics such as foundation, powder or blush should be avoided during a pimple breakout. If you absolutely have to wear it every day, then opt for oil-free cosmetics which come without added chemicals.
Hands off your face.
Try and keep your hands off your face. By touching the pimple or popping it, you are just irritating the already inflamed skin, which will result in some more infection. This also means that you will end up with a scar on your face for four weeks instead of just five days.Call Tamara's in Yorba Linda to make an appointment today! (714) 470-2329.
