Is there a way to keep pimples away without using harsh chemicals on your skin? Well that’s a great question, and the good news is yes, there is. You don’t have to use harsh chemicals on your skin to see an improvement in your oily, acne prone skin.
Here a 5 easy tips to help with you with your acne pimples and breakouts naturally:
TIP 1: Use natural products:
Natural skin care products containing all natural herbs and ingredients such as aloe vera, are very popular and proven effective for people with acne prone skin. Aloe vera is widely known as a skin healer providing skin soothening and anti-inflammatory properties which are good for treating acne aggravated and inflamed skin. Aloe vera also acts as a natural moisturizer and skin conditioner leaving the skin looking and feeling soft, smooth and healthy.
TIP 2: Use oil free, water based products:
Use only oil-free, water-based products which are non-comedogenic, meaning they won’t clog the skin’s pores with additional oil, thus contributing to the excessive oil, blemish and breakout problem. Water-based products are also hydrating and help the skin in maintaining its own natural moisture pH balance which is very important when treating oily, acne prone skin.
TIP 3: Keep skin clean:
Keep your skin free of excess dirt and oil by cleansing often. But cleanse gently. Scrubbing and putting pressure on the skin will not result in less oil and fewer blemishes or breakouts. The truth is cleansing the skin and keeping it as clean and free of dirt, oil and impurities is the best method, so cleanse frequently and often, but do it gently with milder products.
TIP 4: Exfoliate regularly:
Exfoliate at least once a week, and depending on your skin and level of intensity of the exfoliant product and your acne problem, no more than twice a week. For most people and for most products, 1-2 times a week is sufficient. The most common mistake people with acne skin tend to make is to exfoliate too often because they experience favorable results and think that more will be even better. However, the truth is more is not better. Over exfoliation can cause further skin irritation, and increased redness and sensitivity and even reverse the desired results. Have a regular weekly routine and be consistent, but don’t over do it.
TIP 5: Use a natural concealing cover makeup:
It is also very important to protect your skin by using a good makeup foundation. When choosing a good makeup foundation, look for a water-based, oil-free foundation that is light and sheer, and will look and feel natural on your skin. For acne prone skin look for a combination daily foundation and concealing cover crème that will conceal those occasional breakouts and blemishes but can also condition your skin with natural vitamins and antioxidants such as Vitamins E, K and aloe.
