Did you know that 85% of all Americans experience acne at some point in their lives? Generally people think that acne only affects people in their teenage years, or maybe even their early twenties, but once you get older it naturally fades away. This is untrue. Acne can affect anyone, at any time. You never “outgrow” acne, especially if you don’t realize what you’re doing to cause it.
Certain things that we do naturally, can cause or worsen acne. Much of the time we don’t even realize we are doing these things, making it tough to solve acne problems. Well today we are going to share with you, a few things that you may be doing that cause you to continue to experience acne.
How Are You Causing Acne?
1. Touching Your Face
Touching your face can be a very dirty habit. You may think, because you have washed your hands recently, it’s fine to touch your face. It isn’t. Any time you touch your face you are transferring dirt, oils and bacteria onto your skin. This can easily become a cause for your skin to break out or become irritated. Make your face a hands free zone.
2. Lack of Routine
If you have found a cleanser that works for you, but you only use it randomly when it comes to mind, you aren’t going to see much improvement in the condition of your skin. Find a cleanser and a moisturizer that you like, and create a routine for yourself. Use them every morning, and every night, or just at night. Whatever you choose, make it consistent.
3. Wrong Products
Do you know your skin type? Are you oily? Dry? Combination? Knowing your skin type is the first step in selecting the appropriate products. The second step is understanding ingredients. Do you know which is better for your skin type, benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid? Ask your dermatologist what’s best for you.
4. Dirty Pillows and Blankets
If you aren’t regularly switching out your blankets and pillows then you are allowing dirt, bacteria and oils to make their way onto your skin while you sleep. A good practice to get into is to switch out your pillow cases and blankets once every week. This will help to keep your skin fresh all night long.
5. Neglecting to Cleanse
You probably (hopefully) know you are supposed to cleanse your face of any makeup and dirt before beginning your workout. But did you know you should be washing up right after your workout as well? Don’t let sweat settle into your open pores, as this will lead to further damage.
