When you are a teenager, dealing with acne is just part of life. Part of what helps us deal with acne as teenagers is knowing that everyone else in our age group is going through the same problems. As adults we are supposed to have grown out of the frequent breakouts of our puberty years. It is partly because of this belief that so many adults are thrown for a loop when the random zit or pimple makes an appearance on their faces. Nothing makes us relive our teenage years like waking up to a face that has a few spots and bumps. It can hurt quite a lot to have a breakout when you are an adult. Here are some acne fighting tips that you can use no matter how old you might be.
Is your diet balanced and nutritious? It might sound odd, but some peoples' bodies react to an imbalance in diet by breaking out. Acne can be a symptom that some part of your body's health is lacking in some way. Correcting this type of acne could be as easy as taking a multi-vitamin each day. Vitamins might seem like an easy fix and it is true that they won't fix everything but they can help make up for some of the nutritional deficiencies you are experiencing. The acne comes from the excess sebum that your body produces to counteract the malnutrition: it gets into your pores, clogs them and viola! Acne breakout! Eat better and take your vitamins and you should not have to worry about this kind of acne.
Your hands should not touch your face if you can help it. Most of us don't realize just how often we touch our faces during the day. It is partly all of this touching that helps to clog our pores and cause breakouts. Think back. If you touch something and then touch your face, in essence, you are touching your face with that something. Your hands always have a thin layer of oil on them and when you rest your face in your hands, you are transferring that oil into your pores. This is why it is so easy to catch the flu from other people because your hands touch objects that people with the flu have touched and then transfer those germs straight to your face when you rest your face on your hands! Don't touch your face!
Washing your hands often during the day is a good idea if you are not able to stop yourself from touching your face. Keep those hands clean by washing them throughout the day!
