Let's get something clear, pimples are a pain in the butt. They're ugly, irritating, embarrassing, intrusive, and unwelcome. 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 avoided by taking note of the following measures:

KEEP YOUR FACE CLEAN

Allowing excess sebum to form under the skin leads to clogged pores, which in turn trap oil, grease, and bacteria!the perfect breeding ground for pimples. It is imperative your face is washed once or twice a day with a natural cleanser that will not inflame your sensitive skin.

STOP POPPING

No matter how appealing popping pimples may seem, please resist the urge. Popping pimples causes toxins to be suppressed deep into the skin thereby increasing irritation, redness, and scarring.

FINGERS AWAY FROM THE FACE

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

GIVE THEM AIR

If you are prone to body acne try to abstain from wearing tight clothes that limit the ability of your skin to breath. Also abstain from scarves, headbands, and caps because they collect 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 wear makeup that 100% natural or 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' in order to limit unwanted irritation with your skin.

TIE UP YOUR HAIR

By ensuring your hair is clean and worn away from your face you will prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.

WEAR SUNSCREEN

It is imperative you keep your skin away from unnecessary sun exposure. Exposure to UV rays causes the body to produce additional amounts of sebum, which in turn, proliferates acne outbreaks.

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