Habits to Avoid to Have an Acne-free Skin

You have searched everywhere for the best acne treatment in the Philippines, yet the annoying dots remain. The ugly and oily spots keep on returning with vengeance. What is the right course you should take then? You have tried everything – those scientifically proven to word-of-mouth remedies. It doesn’t only drain your money; your self-esteem could suffer as well. The kind of ridicule someone gets from having an acne-battered face is not for the faint heart and it is not an enjoyable experience, especially in the pre-adolescent stage. It is the stage where a teen builds up his/her self-confidence and still struggles with peer pressure.

Okay, before we get too emotional, let us have a recap of what acne really is. Skinacea says, “Acne is formed when a pore in your skin becomes blocked with dead skin cells or oil, creating a nice little home for p. acnes (the acne bacteria).” The terms ‘dead skin cells’, ‘oil’, and ‘bacteria’ could already make your skin crawl; what more if it invades yours? Don’t run to the nearest drugstore or dermatologist yet. Maybe – just maybe – the home remedies such as honey, lemon, orange, papaya, avocado, oats, or potato. These are cheaper and all natural.

However, as they say, prevention is better than cure, so if you’re doing any of the following, better stop it at once:

·         Delaying your laundry schedule - yup, those soft fluffy pillows in your bedroom are a landing area of dead skin cells. You don’t want to rub those again on your face, right?  At least change covers and blankets once a week. Add to your list the facial and body towels as well.

·         Putting off makeup removal - make it a habit to remove your makeup and wash your face thoroughly with clean water before going to sleep. These beauty products are full of chemicals harmful to your skin. Try using non-comedogenic or water-based products.

·         Touching them - hands are one of the dirtiest parts of the body; so it is as if you’re somehow unconsciously transferring germs on your face. Avoid also the temptation of popping a zit – just don’t. Applying pressure on your face, for example placing over a phone, causes breakouts.

·         Skipping your beauty routine - no matter how tired you are, don’t forget or be lazy about it especially if you’re under treatment. Sadly, you will go back to zero once you break this. Eventually waiting more months to see the results and paying additional skyrocketing fees.

·         Stress - A blemish free and flawless skin is hard to achieve. This proves to be a great feat for those who suffer from severe cases of acne. Just don’t be too hard and harsh on yourself. You have to be extra patient because it really takes time and the healing is a continuous process.
