Before going to get those 4 easy tips of acne removal. Lets discuss what is acne are and why it causes. So basically acne is an inflammation of the skin caused by the growth of bacteria. And there is one kind of bacteria on our skin called "Cutibacterium acnes", the C. Acnes in short. So when C Acnes reproduces excessively and penetrates into the dermis of our skin, it will stimulate the immune cells inside to fight against C. 

4 tips to avoid and reduce Acne

Acnes, which subsequently yield the result of damaging the skin tissue and having the swelling red acne on our face. Without further ado, let’s get to the four tricks straight off. 

Avoid face cream

Acnes is an anaerobic organism, therefore if it is exposed to oxygen directly, it would be difficult for C. Acnes to reproduce. Simply put, C. Acnes will die if free oxygen is present. As a result, the first trick here for acne treatment is to keep your face clean and not clogged up. In order to find the effective skin care products acne-wise, water-based products should always be your first priority.

 If you want to keep your skin moisturized, you can apply toners or lotions, because these products could be absorbed quickly and will not occlude the pores. On the contrary, face cream may not be favourable to acne prone skins. As moisturizing cream is more suitable for dry skin as it forms a layer on the skin to prevent drying out the skin. But given its rich texture, you can easily find the face cream contains oil as the ingredient. So you can imagine it like applying a layer of oil on the face, which is equivalent to protecting C. 

Acnes from being exposed to oxygen, clearly C Acnes would be happy to proliferate in large numbers in this situation. Therefore, avoid applying moisturizing cream unless it is really necessary, say during the freezing winter time. 

 Skincare Acids to clean skin

As explained in the beginning, C. Acnes is the biggest enemy if you want to get rid of acne. The skin care products for acne-prone people must be refined and simple, so we need to target the problem with efficient products where skincare acids appear to be a helpful ingredient.

 I know it may sound scary to have acids in skincare products, but it works really well in combating acnes. We will talk about two types of skincare acids that are useful here, namely the glycolic and salicylic acids. For glycolic acid, it is derived from sugarcane and thanks to its wonderful penetration abilities, it can penetrate our epidermis and increase skin cells turnover rate. Therefore, it can facilitate unclogging the pores and the renewal of our skin.

 On the other hand, salicylic acid could commonly be found in face washes because it can exfoliate the epidermis of our skin and clean up the dead skins as well as debris in our pores. Therefore, the two acids are useful during acne breakouts. 

No Deep-fried Food. 

Who can resist the temptation of various delicious deep-fried food right? Look at the fries! Scrumptious! But don’t forget that this kind of deep-fried food is one of the possible causes that would worsen your skin condition. It is not uncommon that acne would be positively associated with a diet that is rich in fat and calories.

 The deep-frying process would make the food contain lots of oxidized oil and lipids, which stimulates the liver to accelerate the secretion of a hormone called "Insulin-like growth factor 1”, IGF-1 in short. Subsequently increased IGF-1 levels would be associated with more sebum production, which may possibly promote the proliferation of C.

 Acnes by blocking the pores and influence the acne condition of your skin. So you can imagine how the deep-fried food would contribute to the development of acne. Therefore, avoid eating fast food during an acne outbreak and eat wisely to prevent growing pimples if you have acne-prone skin. Maintaining a good and balanced diet is key to get rid of acne and we will share the types of skin-friendly food that would help acne prevention and reduce dark spots in our other video. 

 No popping. 

I know it might be fun and satisfying to pop your pimples, but please, don’t do it. When you are popping the pimples, you are just causing injury to your face and making the acne wound bigger for C. Acnes to make the skin condition worse. What’s more, it may leave some dark spots or acne scars afterwards.

 Here is a good tip in dealing with an acne outbreak. First, clean your face with face wash containing salicylic acid, clean the pimple wound immediately if it was accidentally popped, and then apply a little tea tree oil on the spot for sterilization followed by aloe vera gel. Tea tree oil can do the work well because of its anti-inflammatory properties while aloe vera gel can stimulate the synthesis of collagen and help cure the wound as soon as possible.

 Another bonus tip is to apply sunscreen in the morning. Although it was said not to apply cream on your face to prevent the growth of C. Acnes, sunblock is an exception. Since the UV light from the sunlight would stimulate the acne outbreak area, it would possibly worsen the inflammation and increase the chances of having dark spots after curing the acne problem. 

Also, if you use skincare products with acids, your dead skin would be exfoliated and thus you need good protection from the UV lights. So it is suggested to apply a thin layer of sunblock in the morning. But do remember that using the lightweight oil-free sunscreen is a rule of thumb for acne treatment. 

One last tip, always read the ingredients and description of the skincare products to see if they are suitable for your skin type. And of course, consult a dermatologist for professional advice in case you have a serious acne outbreak.
