Trying to fit in and feel confident is hard enough when you have "perfect" skin. But, what if your skin is oily, or covered in pimples and blackheads?! It's important to know what causes acne. The three main acne-causing culprit are stress, hormones and genetics. So, how do you determine what's causing your acne?
First, start by washing your pillow cases and, if you use them, makeup brushes once every week. Wash your face twice daily and follow with a light, oil-free moisturizer. I recommend having a consultation with an Esthetician to learn which ingredients are best for your type of acne.
NEVER pop your pimples! Not even with an extractor tool. That will lead to scarring. Instead, have extractions done by a professional (your Esthetician). If you play sports- wash your face immediately after a practice or a game.
Hopefully doing those simple things will be enough! Unfortunately for some, acne can be much deeper and more more stubborn. In that case, you may need to see your Doctor regarding prescription treatments.
Be patient. New skin care regimens can sometimes take up to three months to show improvement, and is rarely one size fits all. Sometimes it's a game of guess and check before finding the right fix for your skin.
Let's sum things up. Wash. Don't pick. See a professional.
Remember that you are beautiful, and your skin doesn't define who you are- but it is absolutely possible to see improvement with some effort, which in turn will make you feel better about yourself.
