activities that you find enjoyable will help to
reduce the amount of stress you feel. When
the stress lessens, the amount of hormones
your body produces will diminish as well,
which will ultimately reduce the acne your
body produces. Also, be sure to avoid
cigarettes and caffeine if you’ve got acne.

USE ALL-NATURAL PRODUCTS
Be sure only to use all-natural products
to cleanse or treat your skin when you have
acne. Chemicals found in many products that
are sold over-the-counter can seriously irritate
your skin. If you put something on your skin
that has strong chemicals, it may strip your
skin of oil. Your skin will then over produce oil
to compensate. The excess oil can then clog
pores and cause further acne outbreaks.
WEAR APPROPRIATE,
BREATHABLE CLOTHING
Wear clothing that is comfortable and
natural, like cotton. Sometimes acne
can flare up when you sweat. This is
why it’s important to wear the proper
clothing. If your acne breakouts are
affected by the climate, take measures
to protect your face and body with
appropriate and breathable clothing.
If you want to avoid acne breaking out,
then it is important to prevent sweat
from staying on your skin. You will clog
your pores if you keep sweat on your
body for an extended period of time. Get
in the shower as soon as you can after
sweating a lot.
