Hello Lybrate user I am very happy to answer your question. Wash twice a day and after sweating. Perspiration, especially when wearing a hat or helmet, can make acne worse, so wash your skin as soon as possible after sweating. Use your fingertips to apply a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser. Using a washcloth, mesh sponge or anything else can irritate the skin. Be gentle with your skin. Use gentle products, such as those that are alcohol-free. Do not use products that irritate your skin, which may include astringents, toners and exfoliants. Dry, red skin makes acne appear worse. Shampoo regularly. If you have oily hair, shampoo daily. Let your skin heal naturally. If you pick, pop or squeeze your acne, your skin will take longer to clear and you increase the risk of getting acne scars. Keep your hands off your face. Touching your skin throughout the day can cause flare-ups. Consult with me, if: your acne makes you shy or embarrassed. The products you've tried have not worked. Your acne is leaving scars or darkening your skin. Today, virtually every case of acne can be successfully treated. Cosmetologist can help treat existing acne, prevent new breakouts and reduce your chance of developing scars. If you have questions or concerns about caring for your skin, you should make an appointment to see a cosmetologist.
