6 Simple Ways To Win Your Battle With Acnes And Pimples

You look in the mirror and you discover that pesky pimples have popped over your face and whilst you are grumbling about it, they turned out not to be pimples but acnes. Then you suddenly realise that pimples are not that big a deal but acne is a serious skin condition.Acne usually appear during growing up, from our teen days to the time when we are on your period, acnes somehow know how to form a good partnership with our hormones. But how can we battle back and win this fight against acnes, we show you 5 simple steps that will turn the battle upside down.1. Seek Medical Help! Having a few pimples occasionally is fine but if you have bumps on your skin all year around, it’s definitely the time to seek out a professional as acne is a skin disease. Just as you’d consult a doctor when you have a fever for more than a couple of days, acne warrants similar medical attention.2. Get A New Face Wash: Revamping your skin routine should be next on your list. Firstly, writing off your usual face wash for an acne-controlling or oil-controlling face wash is a must.3. Ignore The #1 Rule In The Beauty World! Stop slathering on a thick layer of moisturiser. Our pores are like a sponge. So when you layer heavy moisturiser on top, you’re blocking the overproduced oil from being released onto the surface, and this clogs pores. We recommend you get some oil-free, non-comedogenic gels or lotions.4. Spot Treatment: The anaerobic nature of the clogged pores helps the growth of bacteria which ultimately leads to those painful pimples. To prevent this, it is advisable you start using an ointment which contains benzoyl peroxide on the pimple itself (PSA: Don’t rub it all over your face as this could cause discolouration or slight burns!).5. Stock Up On Those Vitamins: Our skin requires zinc, selenium, antioxidants, B complex and vitamin C to function at its optimum and repair itself. Get some help from very skin specific vitamins.6. Make Lifestyle Changes: Flawless skin is impossible without lifestyle changes. If stress is a constant in your daily life, slotting in a stress-buster, being mindful of cross-infecting, changing pillowcases regularly and being mindful about the food you eat go a long way in controlling your acne.Photo Credit: Getty
