Let's get something clear, pimples are a pain in the butt. They're ugly, irritating, embarrassing, intrusive, and unwelcome. The problem is, most of us add unnecessary bacteria and oil to our skin's surface without even realizing, thereby fueling the pimple fire. This can be easily evaded by taking note of the following measures:

KEEP YOUR FACE CLEAN

Unwanted build ups of sebum within the skin leads to clogged pores, which in turn trap oil, grease, and bacteria!the primary breeding ground for pimples. It is crucial your face is washed once or twice a day with a natural cleanser that will not enrage your sensitive skin.

STOP POPPING

Irrespective of the satisfaction gained from popping pimples, please resist the urge. Popping pimples actually pushes infected mucus deep into the skin thereby increasing irritation, redness, and scarring.

FINGERS AWAY FROM THE FACE

It is best to avoid touching your face unless necessary. Your fingers are the chief external depositors of bacteria, which cause the pores to become inflamed in the first place. Just like your fingers, glasses carry oil which clogs pores and because they are in physical contact with your face you should keep them clean at all times.

GIVE THEM AIR

If you have a high propensity for outbreaks of body acne try to refrain from wearing tight clothes that decrease the ability of your skin to breath. Also refrain from scarves, headbands, and caps as they gather dirt and oil, thereby increasing the likelihood of causing irritation.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKEUP ON

It is also vital to wipe off makeup before going to sleep in order to avoid unnecessary oil buildup. Also, only use makeup that 100% natural or 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' in order to limit unwanted irritation with your skin.

TIE UP YOUR HAIR

By ensuring your hair is clean and worn away from your face you will prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.

WEAR SUNSCREEN

It is vital to protect your skin from the sun. Exposure to UV rays ignites the production of additional amounts of sebum, which in turn, propagates acne outbreaks.

Following these 7 steps will ensure pimple attacks are a thing of the past. However, if you are fighting with current acne outbreaks, or you have prominent acne scarring you might need to engage the assistance of a natural skin care solution.
