Professional tips that will save your face from acne


Everyone who has pimples on their face knows how overwhelming this state can be. Acne is not only a health issue, but it can also affect your confidence, because you are always worried about the way you look. There are days when you admire the glow on your face, but there are also days when acne is running across your face, and you simply do not know what treatment to use in order to get rid of it. If you watch TV then you may have noticed that different brands promote different products, but the fact is that not all of them are effective. There are some things you can do without seeing a doctor, and they will help you get the results that you want, and prevent experiencing acne in the future.

You should wash your face daily

It is not enough to wash your face only during morning, it is advisable to wash it twice a day if you suffer from acne. You should never go to sleep without taking off your makeup, because clogged pores lead to pimples. Identify the type of face you have and use a cleanser designed for your condition.

Sunscreen products are life

It does not matter if there is summer or winter, you should always wear sunscreen. During the hot season make sure you use a product with higher SPF. Your face can experience great damage because of sun rays, so make sure to protect it, especially if you are using acne products. Sunscreen products will block the harmful effects of the sun on your skin.

Have a healthy diet and drink water

If you want to get rid of pimples then your diet is one of the essential factors. Young people have the tendency to eat a lot of sugar, and sugar is one of the aliments that facilitates acne. You should try to lower the sugar amount from your diet if you want to have a clean face. Also, there are studies that show that dairy products can cause pimples, and you should switch to almond milk if you think this is the case for you.

Use Concentrated Hemp Oil

Acne is the result of multiple factors, and there are very few the cases when a dermatologist is able to tell you exactly what the cause in your case was. There can be bacteria, genetics, or oil secretion. Recent studies show that if you use Concentrated Hemp Oil you can reduce pimples. This oil has anti-inflammatory properties and it can reduce the sebum production. Ask your doctor how to use the oil, because it will definitely help you have a clean face.

Change your sheets often

Pillowcases and sheets can be one of the causes why you experience periodic pimples. They collect oil, and considering that you sleep many hours lying on them, your skin can become congested. If you want to prevent this issue you should change them often and try to lie on your back when you sleep. One strategy is to put a pillow under your knees, because it will prevent you during nighttime to turn on your side.

We’re all beautiful, even with acne

Hey guys, I’m Alice. This is my first blog here on talkhealth. I’ve suffered with acne since I was around 14, and I want to help people going through the same thing. I thought I’d start with a bit of background into my acne journey.

I started getting acne in school. At first it was just a few spots here and there. It didn’t really bother me, because everyone else seemed to be getting the same. Everyone always said “it’s just spots, it’s normal, you’re a teenager!” – which is absolutely true, for most people.

I remember my Mum buying me my first concealer in year 9, and from then on I’d spend 10 minutes or so before school dabbing it on my spots to cover them up. Fast forward a few years and I was in sixth form. The 10 minutes I spent getting ready had turned into an hour and a half of covering up my acne. It just got worse and worse!

Throughout my 20s my skin has been crazy. I could count on at least 6 or 7 cystic spots at a time! The thing about acne is that it’s painful too. My face sometimes hurt so much – the spots got so swollen and often felt like they were throbbing.

I used to use makeup as a mask to hide my face. I couldn’t go out without spending an hour or two perfecting my makeup. It’s a shame because it made getting ready feel like a chore. I’d once loved wearing makeup and getting glammed up, but it had almost turned into my disguise.

I think acne had such a damaging effect on my self-esteem. I used to avoid things like swimming or even staying over at friends houses – I just didn’t want to take my makeup off! This is why I’m keen to help people who are going through the same thing. I wish I hadn’t let it take over my life the way I did.

In fact, I’m certain that one of the reasons my acne kept getting worse, was my obsession with it. We all know that stress and anxiety can contribute to breakouts.

So my first piece tip for anyone out there who’s suffering with acne, is to try and stay positive. Try not to obsess over every little spot in the mirror. And while you have every right to cover it up with makeup, don’t feel that you have to! It shouldn’t control you.

Acne is something lots of people go through, and you should try your hardest not to let it affect your perception of yourself. I know it’s easy to say and hard to do – but just try to love yourself!

Something that always helped me was realising that the people who mattered in my life would never judge me for my acne. Your friends and family don’t like you because of your skin – they like you because you’re you!

If you find that your acne is getting you down, talk to a family member or friend. It really helps to talk through your bad thoughts and feelings. I can guarantee they’ll make you smile and realise that you’re much more than your acne, and help you to clear your mind of worries and anxiety about your skin.

I’m looking forward to sharing more of my tips and thoughts about acne with talkhealth over the next few months! But for now, let’s all try and stay positive together and realise we’re all beautiful, even with acne.
