Having acne breakouts is a horrible ordeal. Before you go about trying natural remedies, it is important for you to understand first how acne breakouts develop. This chronic disorder is caused by overactive sebaceous glands. It starts with a blockage which leads to dirt and oil being trapped inside the skin. The trapped oil and dirt later on develop as acne.
To prevent a breakout, you should take good care of your skin. Wash your face every night before going to bed. If you can, wash it once you are home so that dirt from the outside will be washed away. Use mild soap in the process, never use milk-based soap. Milk-based soap will only help in spreading out your pimples, it is better if you use a regular germicidal soap. These types of soap are not only effective in removing all those germs, they are sold cheaply too.
In the morning, you should apply facial wash twice followed by lemon juice as an astringent. This will provide your skin with much needed Vitamin C and will help prevent breakouts as well. Leave the lemon solution on for at least 5 minutes. Now this might sting a little but you have to remember the saying “No pain, no gain” while you’re at it. Wash off the solution after 5 minutes and then go ahead and do your daily routine.
Bring a good acne wash or a facial wash to school or to work so that every time your face starts to feel oily, you can always wash it. Doing this will lessen the possibility of a breakout.
Apart from cleaning your face, you would also need to change your diet. Add more fruits and vegetables to your daily meals and drink more water. Eating right is one of the best methods in keeping your skin healthy.
