Here are some tips on preventing acne like pimples, blackheads and whiteheads.
How to prevent acne?
What really starts acne is not well known, but it is believed to be caused by a hormonal imbalance which is why teenagers going through puberty are more prone to this condition. Acne develops when the skin excretes excessive amounts of sebum (oil), which will cause the read to clump blocking skin pores. This action traps bacteria in the pores which allow the bacteria to grow. At this stage, white blood cells attack the growing bacteria resulting from acne.
Here's what you can do to prevent acne:
Exercise. It was presented that exercise can help prevent acne by flushing the pores. No evidence has been presented which supports this theory, yet it makes sense that sweating will purge your pores. However, if you do exercise, it is important to clean your face after to prevent clogging of the pores.
Cleaning. This is an important step in preventing acne. Use a cleaner specifically designed to stop acne by removing dead skin, oil and bacteria go a long way to prevent acne. This cleaning should be done at least twice a day, once in the morning and once before going to bed
Oil Products. It is important to keep products that contain oil from your face. You have enough oil being secreted through the skin, as you try to control, so you do not need more. Look for products you want to use on your skin that contain non-comedogenic or non-acnegenic that will not affect your pores and are oil-free.
Exfolier. Doing this once or twice a week will help remove dead skin and prevent clogging of the pores.
T-Zone. This is the area of your forehead, nose and chin, which is more prone to acne infections than other parts of your body. So when you cleanse and exfoliate particular attention to this area.
Vitamin A. A substance closely related to vitamin A, called retinoid, is often used orally and topically (externally) by the dermatologist to help prevent acne breakouts. It works by promoting the rapid skin cell division to prevent clogging of the pores.
Omega -3. This is an essential fatty acid derived from cold water fish such as wild salmon. They contain ingredients supposed to, according to a study by Lasky Skin Clinic in 2008 that can help prevent acne. To help support this study it was also found that communities that have consumed large quantities of omega - 3 in their diet have a very low incidence of acne.
Conclusion:
Of all these tips on how to prevent acne, the most important is to respect the proper cleaning and exfoliating the skin.
