Time to speak the truth, pimples are a pain in the butt. They're ugly, irritating, embarrassing, intrusive, and unwelcome. The problem is, most of us add unnecessary bacteria and oil to our skin's surface without regard, thereby fueling the pimple fire. This can be easily side-stepped by taking note of the following measures:

KEEP YOUR FACE CLEAN

Allowing excess sebum to form under the skin leads to clogged pores, which in turn trap oil, grease, and bacteria!the perfect breeding ground for pimples. It is imperative your face is washed once or twice a day with a natural cleanser that will not irritate your sensitive skin.

STOP POPPING

Irrespective of the satisfaction gained from popping pimples, please resist the urge. Popping pimples effectively embeds bacteria deep into the skin thereby increasing inflammation, redness, and scarring.

FINGERS AWAY FROM THE FACE

It is best to avoid touching your face unless necessary. Your fingers are the underlying external depositors of bacteria, which cause the pores to become inflamed in the first place. Similarly, glasses carry oil which clogs pores and because they have direct contact with your face you should keep them clean at all times.

GIVE THEM AIR

If you are prone to body acne try to avoid wearing tight clothes that limit the ability of your skin to breath. Also avoid scarves, headbands, and caps because they collect dirt and oil, thereby increasing the likelihood of causing irritation.

DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKEUP ON

It is important to always remove makeup before going to sleep in order to avoid unnecessary oil buildup. Also, only apply makeup that 100% natural or 'noncomedogenic' or 'nonacnegenic' in order to limit unwanted irritation with your skin.

TIE UP YOUR HAIR

By ensuring your hair is clean and worn away from your face you will prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.

WEAR SUNSCREEN

It is imperative you keep your skin away from unnecessary sun exposure. Exposure to UV rays elicits the creation of additional amounts of sebum, which in turn, propagates acne outbreaks.

Following these 7 steps will guarantee pimple attacks are a thing of the past. However, if you are fighting with current acne outbreaks, or you have prominent acne scarring you might need to engage the assistance of a natural skin care solution.
