Our skin is delicate and sensitive and therefore needs to be well taken care of. Sometimes due to hormonal changes, the oil glands in our skin tend to produce excessive oil, which leads to acne/pimples in certain people. If left untreated, acne can lead to permanent scarring of the face.
How can I prevent acne/ pimples?
- Wash face 2-3times a day with a cleanser that doesn't dry your skin.
- Remove make-up before bedtime
- Drink water up to 3-4 liters a day (helps detoxify)
- Do not touch or pick at pimples, as it can lead to delayed healing and bad scars
- Stop smoking (delays healing)
- Exercise regularly
- Maintain a healthy diet free of junk food.
- Avoid milk products like chocolates, sweets, cheese, butter, cottage cheese that are known to induce pimples
Early consultation with a dermatologist is suggested, if you are having difficulty controlling your acne, in order to prevent scarring. Acne medication used appropriately can prevent pimple break outs.
