Let's get something clear, pimples are a pain in the butt. They're ugly, irritating, embarrassing, intrusive, and undesired. The problem is, most of us add unnecessary bacteria and oil to our skin's surface without noticing, thereby fueling the pimple fire. This can be easily side-stepped by taking note of the following measures:

KEEP YOUR FACE CLEAN

Unwanted build ups of sebum within the skin leads to clogged pores, which in turn trap oil, grease, and bacteria!the classic breeding ground for pimples. It is imperative your face is washed once or twice a day with a natural cleanser that will not irritate your sensitive skin.

STOP POPPING

Although the temptation is there to pop pimples, please resist the urge. Popping pimples causes toxins to be suppressed deep into the skin thereby increasing swelling, redness, and scarring.

FINGERS AWAY FROM THE FACE

It is best to avoid touching your face unless necessary. Your fingers are the chief external depositors of bacteria, which cause the pores to become inflamed in the first place. Similarly, glasses carry oil which clogs pores and because they have direct contact with your face you should keep them clean at all times.

GIVE THEM AIR

If you are someone who develops body acne easily try to refrain from wearing tight clothes that decrease the ability of your skin to breath. Also refrain from scarves, headbands, and caps as they gather dirt and oil, thereby increasing the likelihood of causing irritation.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKEUP ON

It is also vital to wipe off makeup before going to sleep in order to avoid unnecessary oil buildup. Also, only use makeup that 100% natural or 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' in order to limit unwanted irritation with your skin.

TIE UP YOUR HAIR

Your hair should always remain clean and off your face so as to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.

WEAR SUNSCREEN

Protecting your skin from the sun is of upmost importance. Exposure to UV rays ignites the production of additional amounts of sebum, which in turn, propagates acne outbreaks.

Following these 7 steps will guarantee pimple attacks are a thing of the past. However, if you are struggling with current acne outbreaks, or you have noticeable acne scarring you might need to engage the assistance of a natural skin care solution.
