How to Stop Acne Making Pores - These acne tips are tried and true. Through my own experience, I give you tips to heal and prevent acne. It works!
How to Stop Acne Making Pores
- Cleaning your face. When should you clean your face? In the morning, before applying makeup, after any work out or activity that causes you to become sweaty or oily, and before bed. Never sleep in make-up. Clean your face with a product that is mild, non-irritating, and alcohol free. Do not scrub too vigorously as this can irritate and dry out your skin, causing a rash and increased oil production. It is best to find a good daily skin care regimen.
- Use an oil free moisturizer daily. Yes, even those of you with oily skin need a moisturizer! I know, it is tempting to want to dry out your oily skin, because that is what I did for years! It doesn’t work, does it? You wind up with dry, scaley skin that is actually more oily than ever! Why? Oil and moisture are not the same thing. Drying out your skin actually causes your already over active oil glands to produce more oil. So even though your skin is dry, it is also oily. Using a good oil free moisturizer decreases the amount of oil your glands produce. Your skin will be more supple, have smaller pores, and be less oily, which means less pore clogging and less acne!
- When applying make up, you are most likely applying nasty acne causing bacteria to your face. You can’t avoid bacteria all together, but you can cut down on it and decrease the acne breeding ground. Choose a make up that is oil free, like the make-up I use. Don’t use old make up. Don’t share make up. Replace the lids on your products as soon as you are finished with them. Make sure your face and hands are clean and free from any hair products before applying any product to your face. Clean your brushes and application pads regularly. If possible, use disposable applicators for foundation.
- Use sunscreen, Many people seem to think that tanning their bad skin will help it, but it simply is not true. UV rays from the sun or tanning beds damage your skin and actually make acne blemishes worse.
- Hair styling. Hair care products often contain substances that clog pores and create an acne breeding ground. When using mouse, gels and other hair care products, avoid getting them on your face and make sure to wash your hands when you are finished with them. When using hair spray, cover your face, forehead, and ears.
- Conditioners and even some shampoos often contain oils and other substances that clog pores and cause acne. This can promote acne on both your face and your back. To prevent clogging facial pores, wash and condition your hair before you wash your face. To decrease acne on your back, wash and condition your hair before you wash your back. Long hair should be put up on your head so the conditioner doesn’t run down your back and face. Use one towel for your hair and a separate towel to dry your face and body.
- Bedtime. As you sleep, dead skin cells and oils, which can clog pores, are left on your pillow case. To prevent creating acne in your sleep- Never ever sleep in make-up and wash your pillow case often.
