Skin Care Tips to Prevent Formation & Control Acne

Acne or pimples develop when dead skin and / or oil clogs hair follicles. Oily skin caused due to overproduction of sebum is one of the factors which contribute to formation of pimples. Other factors include irritation of hair follicles caused due to uneven shedding of dead skin and bacteria buildup.

The red spots on the face are acne scars. Normally pimples that are squeezed, poked or picked on inevitably leave scars. However, even those pimples which are never touched may leave red spots or scars.

Acne medicines, antibiotics, prescription and over-the-counter creams and ointments, aid healing by minimizing oil production, combating bacterial infection and accelerating turnover of skin cells. However, for those who don’t wish to go the medicine way, some basic skin care tips and techniques can help prevent formation of new acne and control most existing ones.

Tips Include:

Wash face with a gentle cleanser and avoid over washing. Washing off dirt, dust, make-up sweat, etc. from the face, twice a day should be sufficient.
Avoid oily creams, lotions, sunscreen, cosmetics, etc. Use products which are categorized as noncomedogenic or water based.
Avoid potential irritants like facial masks, scrubs and astringents.
In some people, the skin is sensitive to sun rays and the sun just aggravates the acne. Avoid going out in the sun too much, and always put on a good sunscreen before you step out.
Try shampooing your hair every day, this is more so if the hair is oily. Also, keep the hair off the face by combing and pulling it back.
Do not squeeze or pick on pimples. In fact totally avoid touching the face. Even keep things like phone receivers off your face.
Avoid wearing caps, hats and tight headbands.
Reduce intake of carbohydrates like bread, chips, bagels etc. These foods increase sugar level which can trigger an acne breakout. Also reduce consumption of dairy products. Chocolate and greasy food has no adverse effect on the skin.
Rubbing some Aloe Vera juice, can soothe the skin and lighten acne scars.
Rub some fresh tomato juice / pulp and leave for 15-20 minutes. Though it takes a long time before results can be noticed, the tomato can not only lighten acne scars but can also lighten dark circles under the eye.

These problems are due to impurities in blood.

However, seriously speaking you may be suffering from insulin resistance and thereby polycystic ovaries. Black circles around eyes are due to under nourishment of tissues or excessive drain of sexula ebergy too. If suffering from leucorrhea, dark circles around eyes exist.

Pimples and dark circles are symptoms, not disease. They point to someother condition underlying, and unless the condition is ascertained, treatment would not work
