Acne can be completely frustrating, it can lessen a person's self confidence. If you suffer from acne, either as an adult or a teen and have tried all sorts of products to clear your skin, all sorts of DIY but to no avail, chances are you might be doing something wrong. For me, I battled acne at the peak of my teenage years up to my early 20's before I finally understood why my acne was getting worse by the years and how I could get rid of my acne for good! Nobody wants love from acne, we all want to break free from acne as hard as possible. But take a second to think of it, don't you think you are showering your acne with so many things it likes and its refusing to leave?! Let's consider few things you might be doing that is making your acne worsen or not getting cleared.
1. YOU FAIL TO UNDERSTAND YOUR ACNE! One of the biggest issue I have come to realize is that people don't really understand or even try to understand their acne, what causes it, what has happened to their skin and why acne flare up for some and calms down for some. So many people are in a hurry to get rid of that acne the moment they set eyes on it on their face or body without taking time to determine what could have possibly caused the acne or breakout. Acne tend to occur around puberty when the sebaceous gland that produce sebum(oily secretion) starts to function. When too much sebum is produced, the oil can clog up pores and hair follicles thereby attracting bacteria which leads to acne. Acne has to do with your hormones not dirt or diet. Although if you are on a strict skincare regimen but your skin isn't clearing up, you should take a look at your diet. Greasy foods, Chocolate, Diary in particular causes problems with acne-sufferers. They don't cause acne, but can make it worse.
2. YOU CONSTANTLY PICK ON YOUR ACNE Constantly picking and forceful squeezing on the pimples on your face will do no good but serious harm. Picking on the pimples will push the plug of debris deeper into the skin and this will make the blemish worse and prolong the healing time. Leave your face alone for beauty sakes! It is really hard to stop popping pimples but please fight the urge and stop popping! I used to be a real pimples popper (if that's even a word) it would dry out for few days after popping only to come back stronger and bigger. Until I learnt the importance of leaving my face alone and extracting safely. If you want to self extract that pimples or blackhead at least do that safely. This can be done with pimples extracting pins or in a professional spa.
