Preventing pimples is simple!

Let’s discuss how to prevent pimples.

1.) Avoid direct contact with the light of the sun as much as possible. As they say, too much of anything is not good for anybody. Thus, excessive exposure to the sun would surely damage your skin. Also, if you want to prevent your acnes from going severe and reduce your chances of acquiring skin cancer, then you would need to stay indoors while the sun is giving out harmful ultraviolet rays. If you have no choice but to go outdoors, then apply noncomedogenic sunscreen on your skin for your safety.

2.) If you have an oily type of skin, then you should be mindful of the things that you do to your hair. Take note that acnes can form on your forehead so you would have to be careful in letting your hair undergo a certain kind of treatment. It’s not common for a person to have excess oil in one’s scalp. Thus, you are advised to give your hair a thorough wash every other day. This would certainly keep your skin and hair in good condition.

If your forehead is filled with acnes, then you should not put too much shampoo or conditioner on your hair. Keep in mind that you don’t know how your skin breakouts would react to the chemicals in these products so just keep things in moderation for you to be on the safe side.

3.) During weekends, make sure that wash your pillowcases. The covers of your pillows can accumulate so much dirt in just a few days so it is important for you to keep them oil free for you to prevent acquiring those pimples. Thus, have at least 2 pairs of pillowcases for you to be able to do this task and to minimize your laundry duties as well.

4.) Touching your face is a big NO in the world of acne prevention. No matter how much you clean your hands, you still use them to touch and get hold of a lot of things. Thus, you can never be sure of their cleanliness. So, don’t touch your face if you want to stay away from those disturbing acnes.

If your sibling has acnes, then don’t lend him or her some of your personal belongings. It’s not hygienic and you would only let the bacteria transfer to your face once you do that.

5.) If you are fond of wearing make up, then make sure that your face is totally cosmetic free when you go to bed. Wash your face as soon as you get home from a party or from work. You may find this routine to be troublesome but it’s for your own good. Sleeping with your make up on would only clog your pores and let you gain acnes first things in the morning. Always keep that in mind.

6.) Use an exfoliating product once a week. If you can’t find this item in your local drugstore, then you can create your own exfoliating cream. It’s not hard to make one and you would just have to search for the steps over the Internet. However, you should never apply an exfoliating product more than once on your face in a span of one week. This item has strong chemicals that your skin won’t be able to handle if you apply it twice.

7.) Wash your face on a regular basis. Do it when you wake up in the morning and before you sleep at night.

Get the face wash that is most suitable for your skin type.

Moreover, make sure that your hands are clean before you use them to wash your face.

Most importantly, gently scrub or wash your face. Don’t exert too much effort on the task.

8.) After washing your face, make sure that you apply a moisturizer on it. You shouldn’t skip this step if you want to prevent those acnes from appearing on your skin. Keep in mind that your skin is part of your body. In fact, it is the largest organ that you have. Thus, you should do everything to keep it moisturized. Washing your face can actually reduce its moisture content. So, you would need to get that moisture back with the use of a moisturizer.

Reminder: get a moisturizer that would be suitable for your type of skin.

Dry skin: Since you have a lot of work to do on your skin, you would need to buy a moisturizer that would have a longer and stronger effect on your face. A cream-based moisturizer has those exact characteristics.

Oily skin: This type of skin just needs the right amount of moisture to improve its condition. Thus, a milder gel-based moisturizer is best for people who have oily skin in order to prevent pimples.
