STRESS

Stress and acne

Some people do not know but stress can cause acne and spots to appear. This is because when you are stressed your skin starts producing more oils which lead to the pores in your face getting blocked leading to inflammation which we see as a big red spot. Acne is painful and often is swollen so making sure you do not touch or pop the spot is important because it can cause a scare to be left behind, which can take weeks or months to fade away. Try to reduce stress by meditating a few minutes as little as 10 minutes can be sufficient. Or just try deep breathing exercises.

CLEANSE WITH WATER

A lot of people who suffer from acne may find when they touch their skin it’s very oily. People with acne usually have very oily skin. If you find yourself with oily skin then was with only water and at least 5 times a day. Washing your skin with a harsh facial wash will just make things worse because your skin will just end up producing more oils to replace the natural oils you just got rid of. Washing with water will be better because it will get rid of only a small amount of oil without stripping the skin completely. Also, water tends to have a better ph level than cleansers which tend to be alkaline and full of chemicals as well.

DO NOT MOISTURIZE

Some people may be surprised but yes not moisturising will help stop acne from forming. How? Moisturizers have mineral oils and chemical, these block pores on top of all this our facial skin also produces natural oils so you’re left with twice the amount of oils on your face almost suffocating the pores. You can use a natural moisturizer like aloe Vera gel this will also help fight bacteria which may cause acne and also helps with curing drying skin symptoms.
