Acne And Basic Hygiene
By James Wallace
Some people believe dirt causes acne.
Dirt does not cause acne. That is
one of the very basic concepts
that most sufferers need to
accept. Keeping the face clean
will help to make outbreaks
happen less frequently and be less
severe when they do happen but the
truth that when your face gets dirty you get is not true.
Facial cleansing is especially
important for those who are
generally prone to acne, however.
Facial cleansing done for the
prevention of outbreaks and
while an outbreak is in progress
needs to be in a specific fashion.
Here are the steps to keeping your face clean:
1.Wash your hands first. Is that
surprising? It shouldn’t be. Your
hands are about to come in contact
with your face. The first thing
you need to do is scrub your hands
and be sure that your nails are
clean as well.
2.Next, if female, you
need to
secure your hair either
in a hairnet, a shower cap or a
headband. Pull your hair away from
your face and firmly secure it.
3.Wet your face with warm (not
hot) water and apply the soap or
facial cleansing product as
directed on the packaging. Never
use more or less of the product
than is recommended.
4.Using just your fingertips (NOT
a washcloth), gently massage the
cleanser into your face. Use a
circular motion and be sure to go all the way to the
hairline. Pay particular attention
to the areas of your face where
you see pimples most often. Hard
scrubbing is counter-productive though so be
very gentle.
5.Rinse your face thoroughly by
splashing it with warm water. Don’t
take a shortcut here. Rinse your
face until all traces of the
cleanser are gone.
6.Gently pat your face dry with a
clean towel. Don’t rub your face
and try not to reuse towels you previously have.
7.Allow your face to air dry for
at least 15 minutes, or until dry to the touch, before you
apply medications or
moisturizers. James Wallace provides many prevention and reduction tips through his weekly newsletter available at www.removemyacne.com
