Four Steps to Prevent Acne

This article was submitted by Sandra Mallory. 

The most common cause of acne is clogged pores, and there are four simple steps you can take to alleviate this problem.  Following these four steps will prevent acne or reverse an acne outbreak.

1. Cleanse your face every morning and night.  Most people do not properly cleanse their face.  Do not use your regular bar soap or body wash product to cleanse your face. Instead, purchase a quality face cleanser and use it daily. First, splash warm water on your face and while your face is still wet, gently apply the facial cleanser evenly  on all surfaces of facial skin.  Next, splash on a warm water rinse, followed by a cold water splash to close the pores.  Let your face air dry, and do not use a towel at all.  Put on a deep moisturizer made for the face. Do not go to sleep with your makeup on.  Always remove your makeup with this special facial cleansing.

2. Get outside and get some exercise in some clean, fresh air.  Drive out of town to a natural environment if need be, but find some clean air and spend some time in it, walking or jogging or doing chores.  Do this as often as you have time for.  The more clean air you breathe, the better off your whole body.  Clean air translates to cleaner pores.  Get rejuvenated outside and inside with a health dose of clean air!

3. Wear a natural makeup with sun protection every day.  For this I recommend a high quality mineral makeup.  The best mineral makeup on the market today is Bare Escentuals.  It is a bit more expensive than other brands, but it is worth the extra money.  Your skin will benefit from the all natural ingredients, the sun protection, and the fact that you will get full coverage with only one coat.  Because you will use less than applying a cheap mineral makeup, it is actually more cost efficient to use a more expensive, higher quality mineral makeup.

4. Minimize your intake of oils and caffeine.  If you truly want to have beautiful skin you will need to make significant changes in your diet.  The more fruit and vegetables you eat, the healthier your skin will be.  Cutting back on red meat will help you attain your goal as well.

If you follow these four steps while keeping your eye on the prize of beautiful, healthy skin you should be able to prevent acne outbreaks.
