Put Your Best Face Forward
Acne is never fun, but Water’s Edge Dermatology can help you keep your skin clear. Instead of suffering through painful breakouts, dermatologists suggest these tips to fight pimple-causing bacteria and clogged pores:
- Look for the word “noncomedogenic” on products you plan to use on your face or acne-prone skin
- Keep your hair and hands away from your face to avoid clogging your pores with hair products or spreading bacteria
- Wash your face with a mild cleanser and warm water twice a day and use your fingers rather than a washcloth or sponge
- Go oil-free with any products you put on your face, including sunscreens and makeup
- Moisturize your face to calm dry, irritated skin
- Don’t pop your pimples, you can cause scars or even more pimples to occur
Being kind to your face goes a long way toward clear skin. Eating healthy and taking time to relax can also help you avoid breakouts.
If over-the-counter facial cleansers and regular facial care aren’t enough to keep your skin breakout-free, you may need to visit your medical dermatologist at Water’s Edge Dermatology about a skin-care regimen.
