Adult acne skin care is a delicate issue because the key to it is to be as minimal as possible. This article will give you advice and guidance on the best skin care treatment you can give to your skin to keep your adult acne at bay and to not aggravate your skin further.
Most people believe that acne is caused by dirt and muck but unless you have a job where you get filthy, zits are not as a result of dirt clogging your pores. They are inflammations in the skin so no matter how much you clean this will not get rid of them.
In fact most people have a skin care routine that is vigorous and too much for your skin. This results in zits and acne becoming worse not better. The best thing you can is keep your skin care routine to a minimum. Less irritation to the skin is much better than too much.
1. Use a mild cleanser or just water to wash your face.
What you put on your face can make a big difference. Try to use only water or something mild, as harsh cleanser/chemicals can exacerbate your acne. How? Well harsh cleansers can irritate the skin and dry it out. When this happens it will trigger the bacteria on your skin to produce more sebum to undo the drying. When the sebum canals are blocked you can get an accumulation of sebum which also irritates the skin. This new irritation causes you to produce even more sebum and the blockage causes inflammation.
2. Don’t use moisturiser.
Traditional moisturisers contain chemicals that attract water. This leads you to retain water in your skin and thus causes sebum canals to pinch off (acne). This is exactly what you want to avoid!
3. Use Oil Instead.
To protect your skin from dehydration and flaking use an oil instead of moisturiser. This is much more effective. All you need is a fingertip of oil – this is enough to spread over your entire face. I have had greatest success with walnut oil and recently coconut oil. I prefer coconut oil because it smells lovely. I bought some unprocessed coconut oil from Ebay and have had great success with it.
