Having acne is a common experience among people with a variety of skin types. Mayo Clinic says that acne is generally branched out to four main causes: Inflammation, clogged pores, excess oil, and bacteria.
Before knowing how to manage your acne, you need to understand your specific skin type. Here are 5 ways to manage acne-prone skin.
- First, wash your face twice a day (morning and night), also after an intense workout when you sweat.
- Secondly, prioritize moisturizer as having consistently dry skin can over-produce oils in your face.
- Next, use SPF or regular drugstore sunscreen daily. UV rays can make dark spots on your skin worse and dry out your skin.
- Fourthly, leave your face alone by restricting your hands and hair from your face.
- Finally, use an over the counter retinoid on your entire face rather than treating specific spots.
Remeber, your skin is beautiful rather it is clear or it has pimples. Do things that make you feel confident and secure, not just to fit a beauty standard.
