SKINCARE TIPS FOR AN ACNE PRONE SKIN

                                  Hello Gorgeous😊

Have you ever wondered how you can get a clear skin for an acne prone skin?

An oily skin is usually prone to acne, and the sight of acne is just exasperating, no one feels proud of an acne skin. It is quite worrisome that most women usually suffer from acne at one point in their lifetime.

I do have an oily skin which is prone to acne and the following practices have helped to reduce the outbreak of acne on my face also, easing down the stress I go through during an acne breakout.

You can try out these practices on your skin care journey of fighting acne breakouts

Gentle Cleanse your face twice a day

Gentle cleanse your face two times per day, usually morning and evening using a foaming facial cleanser. 

Foaming cleansers cleanse away all the excess oiliness on your face without stimulating the oil glands, causing skin dryness and increasing redness thereby leaving your skin clean and fresh.

After working out clean your body to remove any sweat. Leaving sweat on your skin leads to acne breakouts and its irritating. 

The most recommended cleanser which has been miraculous and testimonial when it comes to fighting acne is 100% Pure Tea Tree & Willow Clarifying Cleanser. Its alternative name is Acne Face Wash. It promotes a soothed refreshed complexion. 
What makes this cleanser stands out when it comes to fighting acne is its purifying concentration of anti-bacterial tea tree and willow which cleanses away excess oil, makeup, impurities and a bacterial which causes skin breakouts such as acne. 

Therefore you can opt for 100% Pure Tea Tree & Willow Clarifying Cleanser to clean your face

If you are meters away from home, you can use cleansing wipes.

However, be careful to avoid over-cleaning your face with strong detergents and soaps. Over-cleaning your face leads to skin irritation and dryness. 

Disinfectants.

Use disinfectants to kill acne causing bacteria. 

Plant derived disinfectants such as tea tree oil (melaleuca) are usually the best. However, it’s hard to come by a product being sold, which contains tea tree oil in high enough concentration to enable the killing of an acne causing bacteria. 

Therefore, one could consider seeing a physician for an antibiotic (disinfectant) prescription.

Exfoliate

Exfoliate with BHA in a gel formula, liquid formula or extremely light formula which does not contain alcohol or menthol. BHA (beta hydroxy acid) prevents skin pores from being clogged, it is anti-inflammatory and reduce skin irritation. 

Also, BHAs are gentle on your skin. The most common BHA is a salicylic acid which is used for acne. BHAs contain bacteria clearing properties as well as skin calming properties.

Exfoliating helps your skin to shed off dead skin cells, correct dark spots, improve the skin texture and encourages a new growth of health skin cells

Don’t go to bed with make-up

With those busy schedules, sometimes it feels like climbing a mountain to remove make-up before bed. The body will be yearning to rest without any disturbances. However, going to bed with your make-up on is never a good idea.

Sleeping with your makeup on causes your skin pores to be more and more clogged and we all know that clogged skin pores are bad news, they result in the development of acne.

Clay Masks

Clay masks help to purify your skin by detoxifying the skin and drawing out impurities from your skin pores and absorbing excess oil from your skin without leaving your skin dehydrated. 

I love those clay masks which contain bentonite clay that have anti-inflammatory properties, anti-microbial and white or kaolin clay.

Which clay masks do you love and have worked magically on your skin?

Moisturizers

Never skip the moisturizing process because you do have an oily skin, if moisturizing goes unchecked your skin might experience dryness and inflammation. 

Use a moisturizer in gel or lotion form which contains antioxidants, cell communicating ingredients and skin identical ingredients. Read more 

Eat a skincare diet

I always believe that our skin is a mirror of what’s going on inside us hence, it is vital to stock up a beauty kitchen, containing health food for your beautiful skin. 

For example, a pimple on your face is a wake-up call to reduce the level of sugar intake you consume. 

A good skincare diet contains antioxidants, anti-inflammatory and essential omega 3&6 fatty acids. Read more

NOTE*******Exfoliating your skin makes it more susceptible to Ultra-Violate Radiation from the sun, this means that it is essential to apply sunscreen on your face.
