Acne mainly affects teenagers, but adults can be victims too! To avoid the invasion of unsightly pimples, follow these tips on a daily basis.
New habits in the bathroom…
Acne, for some, is just a few pimples here and there from time to time. For others it is a daily ordeal… If hygiene can improve acne, it is not the cause. In fact, it is hormonal variations and excess sebum that cause acne.
However, having a more rigorous hygiene can reduce it considerably or even eradicate it in the best of cases. One or two daily cleansings limit excess sebum, which is the breeding ground for acne development.
First of all, wash your face thoroughly and, from time to time or daily according to the tolerance of your skin, use a cleansing brush or a gentle exfoliating treatment. This daily ritual aims to cleanse but also give the skin its best balance between dry and oily skin.
The facial brush is popular right now and offers unparalleled efficiency. Its fine bristles come to clean the pores in depth: exactly what is needed to overcome acne.
… and on the plate!
Many foods are believed to cause or aggravate acne. To keep things simple, tell yourself that your first enemy is refined foods: white sugar and white cereals. Since cutting all that out can be too drastic a change and hard to sustain, just gradually incorporate some more skin-friendly foods each day: fruits and vegetables, in any form you like.
Gradually improve your eating habits and, above all, enjoy it: this is the sine qua non condition for not falling back into a diet that is too poor in fruits and vegetables. Gradually, you will develop a taste for this light and varied diet.
Our 3 tips to act well:
Sun
Surely you have noticed that when you expose yourself to the sun, your acne disappears like snow! Indeed, due to its drying power, the sun helps to reduce the amount of sebum and therefore acne. However, don’t risk exposing yourself too much! You risk burning your skin and increasing your risk of melanoma (skin cancer). Especially since once the tan is over, your acne will come back!
Essential oils
Some essential oils reduce acne or overcome it, as long as they are used regularly and respect important rules. The dilution of the essential oil in a vegetable oil, the dose, the secondary effects and the contraindications of each oil: you must know all these points before using the EC with total safety. Our favorite: a cotton swab soaked in Tea Tree essential oil. To be applied very locally
