Do you wish to have clear, smooth, acne free skin? These few acne prevention tip will help you achieve exactly that!
Acne prevention really all boils down to these 3 simple steps.
1. Clear off all your dead skin
2. Unclog your pores
3. Eliminate acne causing bacteria
So how do you rid of your dead skin?
Get an over the counter acne product that contains salicylic acid. It has anti-inflammatory properties and will reduce swelling. Follow the instructions labeled clearly on the product and use it as directed.
Other ‘ingredients’ that a good acne product should have are benzoyl peroxide and resorcinol. Benzoyl peroxide helps clear away dead skin cells, oil and bacteria that clog up you pores.
The next step would be to unclog your pores. To do this, you need another weapon, you need Glycolic acid. Like Benzoyl peroxide, it loosens the plugs in your pores and loosens the rest.
What you are looking for is an 8 to 10% active ingredient of glycolic acid cream and no other active ingredient.
The final step would be to kill your bacteria!
The above 2 steps would have killed some bacteria living in your skin but its time to totally eradicate them!
This step goes full circle back to one of the active ingredient I mentioned earlier in the step to getting rid of dead skin - Benzoyl peroxide. It is a powerful anti bacteria and will work most effectively when applied directly on the infected area.
It will not work will on swollen skin so a simple trick is to rub some ice on the infected area before apply the product. Don’t freeze the skin, just cool it enough that the swelling stops. And that’s it!
These 3 simple steps from clearing dead skin, to unclogging pores and finally killing bacteria will leave you with clear, blemish free skin!
