Managing Acne: 4 BEST key practices to keep pesky pimples at bay!

1)    HYGIENE

a.     Pillowcases

Aim to switch out your pillowcases at least 1-2 times a week, especially if you are of the oily skin type! You wouldn’t wear your clothes more than twice, so why would you sleep on the same pillowcase for more than a week?! Dirt and oils from scalp, hair and face gets transferred to and from pillowcase surfaces, forming a potential breeding ground for harmful, pimple-causing bacteria!

b.     Clean hands

Only touch your face with hands that are thoroughly cleansed so that we do not reintroduce foreign dirt and bacteria that may cause zits!

c.     Clean skincare

Antibacterial wipes come in handy to give skincare bottles a good exterior cleanse! The MOST overlooked factor for hygiene as we handle skincare products, the exterior must be clean to prevent introduction of acne-causing nasties.

2)    LIFESTYLE

You’re probably tired of hearing this by now, but the reason for its popularity lies in its truth! A reduction in inflammatory foods (sugary, oily and salty), alongside a better sleeping schedule and increased water intake, are hand-in-hand to equip your body the best fighting chance against acne.

3)    EXFOLIATE

A proper routine aids in reducing acne occurrence and fade acne spots through sloughing off dead skin cells and potential clogged pores. Check out our complete EXFOLIATION guide to build a simple routine for yourself!
