Last but not least, the final tip that made a massive difference to me is to be happy and relieve your stress. Emotional stress indirectly contributes to acne by urging the body to secrete more insulin hormone according to AAD. Insulin stimulates androgen production, sex hormones that cause the sebaceous glands to overproduce sebum and lead to acne breakouts. The best solution is to exercise regularly. Exercises such as jogging, hiking, and swimming increase the production of a chemical called endorphins. Endorphins cause our bodies to go into a happy mindset, which lowers acne breakouts. Besides, sweating unclogs the pores which effectively prevents acne and improve skin complexion.

Let us imagine this, you awoke in the morning to attend a dating event. Suddenly, you spotted an acne breakout on your gleaming face as you looked in the mirror . Urgh, acne breakouts again? Most of us will tend to pop the pimple, but please refrain doing so. It will urge bacteria to penetrate the skin, causing inflammation and acne scarring. If you are suffering from, acne or acne valgaris, you are not alone. According to British Association of dermatologist, acne is the eighth most prevalent skin disease, affecting 9.4% of the global population.

Now, I am sure everyone is eager to know how to prevent acne. The fastest way to get rid of acne is to know the root. Here’s a question for you, have you ever wondered how acne forms? There are millions of hair follicles surrounded by sebaceous glands embedded beneath the epidermis. Sebaceous glands secrete natural oil known as sebum that maintains our supple skin. However, acne starts to develop when the hair follicles are clogged with excess oil and dead skin. It usually appears on the face, chest, shoulders and back.

Besides, do you realize acne often flares up during puberty, pregnancy, or menstruation? This is all due to hormonal imbalance. According to Dr Berg, if you get acne on the right side of your face during menstruation, it means your right ovary is generating too much oestrogen. Oestrogen stimulates overproduction of sebum by sebaceous glands. Don’t be frightened as this is the nature. The best remedy is sought for anti-acne ingredients. Apply products containing salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Salicylic acid works best for blackheads and whiteheads since it helps to shed dead skin and oil from the upper part of skin. while Benzoyl peroxide is good for inflammatory acne as it serves as an antibacterial. By following these steps, your acne breakouts will reduce drastically.

The first mistake that most of us made is over exfoliating. Even myself makes the same mistake too when I was a secondary school girl. Majority believes that acne will go off when the pores on the skin are totally clean without any oil. In contrast, this natural oil called sebum serves as a defender to protect the skin from bacterial infection. Therefore, the first tip is always kept your skin hydrated. Exfoliating once or twice a week is advisable but not every day. Use a gentle cleanser glycerin, sodium laureth sulfate, and pathanol to wash your face. For a better result, apply mask and water-based moisturizer after exfoliation.
