2. EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN

Exfoliating your skin is one of the best tips for acne-prone skin. There are 2 types of exfoliators.

PHYSICAL EXFOLIATER: they manually remove dirt and dead skin cells. They are made up of small granules that help in ripping off the upper layer of skin.

CHEMICAL EXFOLIATOR: they are made up of different type of chemical ingredients that sinks into the skin cleaning up the dirt and other small particles that are stuck in the pore. They are made up of AHA (alpha hydroxyl acids) and BHA (beta hydroxyl acids).

AHA and BHA are chemicals that exfoliate and help in removing dead skin cells from the top layer of the skin without being harsh to it. Exfoliating the skin once a week helps in adding a natural glow to the skin and prevents acne.

3. DRINK LOTS OF WATER

Drinking water has so many benefits that we are usually unaware of. Not having proper hydration is one of the reasons behind acne. Keeping your body hydrated means hydrated skin. One of the most common mistakes people do is thinking more the oil more the acne but it is not the case dry skin triggers excess oil production which results in acne. Hence always keep yourself hydrated for a toxin-free body.

4. EXERCISE DAILY

Doing exercise daily is not only good for your physical appearance but also helps in regulating your sugar level, and blood circulation, promotes skin collagen, regenerate new skin cell, and helps in improving your health and fitness. It will add glow to your skin. So, get up what are you waiting for?

5. USE OF SUNSCREEN FOR ACNE-PRONE SKIN

People often don’t know the importance of sunscreen in their daily life. Sunscreen is not only used before going outside rather it should be applied inside the house too. The most common perception of people with oily skin is that they feel that sunscreen makes their skin oily which will cause a breakout. Hence sunscreen is important for every skin type, whether oily or dry.
