It is not easy to feel at ease when you have acne, a problem that many teenagers and adults face. Did you know that you might be the cause of these breakouts? Acne could be the result of using a dirty pillowcase, an allergic reaction, or the continued use of a dirty makeup brush. You may be using a face wash that is not suitable for your skin type. You may not even know that sleeping with your hand under your face can cause you to break out since you transfer the germs and oil from your palm to your face, which can clog your pores. 

Give yourself a break; cut out the factors that cause pimples by ensuring that you keep your face clean. Here are some proven methods suggested by dermatologists.

Ways to prevent acne and keep your face clean

Your hygiene habits and use of suitable facial cleansers are your first defense against skin breakouts. Be sure to develop a routine that will see to it that your face is clean all the time. 

• It is essential to wash your face before going to bed. Make this your nightly habit. Your skin collects dust and grime the entire day and not washing them off guarantees that you’ll end up with skin breakouts. On days when you feel too tired, using cleansing wipes will suffice.

• The purpose of using a moisturiser is to hydrate and heal your skin. The moisturiser you use should not be greasy. Thus, an oil-absorbing moisturiser will be the right choice. 

• Do not limit the sudsing time. Work the suds of the cleanser in your hands first to activate its ingredients. To effectively remove the oil and dirt from your face, dermatologists recommend that you wash your face between 30 and 45 seconds.  

• Make it a point to rinse off all your cleanser. Leaving some of it on your face means you also leave remnants of oil and dirt on your skin. Use lukewarm water when rinsing your skin until it feels smooth and clean. Cold water closes the pores while hot water dries out your skin.

• Wash your face in the morning, too. Some of the hair styling products are left on your pillowcase, which can transfer to your skin. Use gentle movements when washing your face to prevent skin irritation. 

• Avoid over washing as it can stimulate your skin to produce more oil. Use an astringent when you feel that your skin is still oily. 

• For clearer skin, you need to exfoliate. Exfoliating removes dirt and layers of dead skin off your face that blocks the pores, leading to skin breakouts. Use a gentle exfoliating product from SkinCeuticals that contains lactic acids and alpha-hydroxy. Exfoliate after washing your face, not before.

• Your phone has plenty of germs and bacteria from your hands. See to it that you clean it often. Likewise, wash your hands before touching your face. Change your pillowcase often to prevent oil and dirt from your hands and hair from transferring to your face.  

Practice the right ways to clean your face. This will ensure that your skin becomes clearer and prevent acne from forming.
