	Acne prevention tips

Acne is one of the skin problems that affect people of all ages. Men tend to suffer more from acne than women. The degree of severity varies from person to person. Here we give you some tips to prevent and control the eruptions.

· Do not pluck or prick at the lesion. This will cause the lesion to be inflamed and spreads the bacteria or oil. It is the main reason that causes acne scars.

· Since acne is caused by the building up of oil as well as blocking of pores, you need to prevent this from happening. Wash your face two times daily with a mild soap and pat your face dry. Skip oily products and irritants like airborne grease found at fast food joints and friction like pressurizing your face with sports equipments.

· Wash your face with a mild soap before going to sleep. This is especially important if you have applied make-up.

· Keep your hair away from face while sleeping. Get your pillow covers washed frequently.

· Your doctor can prescribe some medicines, which are topical in nature along with moisturizers. But if you have a severe bout of acne, you might have to take Accutane which is a very strong pill for acne. But be advised as this drug has been shown to cause birth defects.

· There are many over-the-counter medicines available for treating acne. They contain Benzoyl Peroxide, which you need to apply for many weeks before you can see any results. Whatever medications you take, whether prescribed or non-prescribed, it takes a long time before you can see results. Hence patience is the key to treat acne.

· Diet is the one of the last things to avoid acne. Myths say that chocolate and pizza can cause acne, but it is not true. However, eating healthy will prevent infections. Drink lots of water to remove toxins from your body and keep your skin fresh and glowing.
