Acne is a condition that can cause embarrassment for many young adults. The face can turn red from the acne that is on the skin. You might feel a burning sensation or itching from the acne. Fortunately, there are some ways that you can fight this common occurrence in a safe and healthy manner.

Wash Your Face

Keep your face as clean as possible. You need to wash your face at least twice a day with cool water. Avoid using hot water because it can dry the skin out and sometimes burn the skin. A mild cleaner can be used when washing to remove the bacteria and impurities that are in the pores.

Add Moisture

There are products that lock in the moisture on your face and add moisture if you have dry skin. These products reduce dryness and redness that occur. When the face is hydrated, it’s healthier, which can lead to a decrease in the acne that you see. You can usually find moisturizers for all types of skin, such as oily or combination skin.

Medicated Products

You can get products over the counter to treat acne. They come in various forms that include gels and creams. Start by using a product that is for sensitive skin to see how it will react with your face as some products can dry out the skin. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid are common ingredients in most acne products. These kill the bacteria in the pores, getting rid of the acne that is present. If over-the-counter products don’t help, then you might want to consult with your doctor about getting a prescription.

Avoid Makeup

Try to use as little makeup as possible on the face. This will prevent the pores from getting clogged. If you have a breakout, then try not to use foundation to cover the face. You might be tempted to use this kind of makeup to cover your imperfections so that others can’t see them, but foundations and concealers can do more harm than good on the face. There are makeup products for sensitive skin that don’t have a lot of fragrances or chemicals that are safer for the skin if you want to use foundations or concealers.

Hair Products

Some of the products that you put in your hair can get on the face. These include hairsprays and gels. Avoid using a lot of products in the hair because they can block the pores, making it difficult to clean the face. Shampoos and conditioners that you use should be gentle for the hair so that they are also gentle on the face if the products get on the skin.

Don’t Touch

Avoid touching your face as much as possible. The dirt and oil on your hands can be transferred to your face. If you’re like most people, then you probably prop your chin on the palms of your hands. This is something that you should avoid doing because the oils will begin to settle on the chin, which can lead to breakouts on this area of the face. If there is already acne on the face, then touching the skin with your hands can irritate the breakouts. It can make the skin red and itchy, which can prolong the healing process.

One of the things that you might have to deal with as a young adult is acne. It’s a common problem for teens and young adults of all ages. You might also consider looking into products offered by companies like NuSkinand similar companies. Whatever you end up doing, remember that acne is treatable, and won’t last forever.
