Being
Proactive Can Effectively
Prevent Acne Outbreaks
Prevent adult outbreaks of
acne by
taking proactive measures in caring for your
skin.
As we all know, healthy skin cells are far better able to protect and
heal the skin.
It bears reiterating that creating and maintaining healthy skin cells
starts within.
In other words eating a healthful diet and drinking
plenty of water and liquids.
Fortunately, one of the benefits of a good skin rejuvenation regime is
a rather dramatic reduction in acne outbreaks.
Why?
The use of similar active ingredients address both aging skin
issues and skin conditions that are prone to outbreaks of acne.
Stop and assess your skin care needs in order to
develop an effective plan. . .
By developing and
implementing a
proactive approach to your anti-aging skin care regime will also help to prevent adult acne
by
reducing the occurrence of blemishes and outbreaks because many of the
ingredients treat both issues.
You can't beat that
as a great side effect of a good
skin rejuvenation regime!
How exactly does a skin rejuvenation regime prevent adult acne?
The hallmark of any
effective
anti-aging skin care routine incorporates
gentle cleansing, exfoliation, skin hydration, rejuvenation treatments
that encourage healthy skin cell growth and sun screen to protect the
skin from future damage.
These same elements of a good anti-aging skin
rejuvenation regime are essential in order to proactively prevent adult
acne as well.
The similar components of a good skin rejuvenation regime
mirror the same elements of a proactive plan to prevent adult acne in
the following ways:
Thorough yet gentle skin cleansing every day
Toning with an
antioxidant, vitamin A or AHA, BHA ingredient to remove any remaining
oils or dirt from the surface of the skin
Exfoliating away dead skin
cells with an AHA, glycolic acid of 8%
to 15% or BHA, salicylic acid of
1% to 2%
along with a weekly microdermabrasion scrub.
Keep skin well
hydrated with rich moisturizer containing an antioxidant such as
vitamin C as well as a vitamin A, (retinol)
ingredient.
Spot treat any emerging blemishes with an
over-the-counter acne
treatment that has benzoyl peroxide as an active acne fighting
ingredient
If
necessary, gently swap the facial skin
occasionally throughout the day with a toner to ensure a clean skin
surface then re-apply your anti-aging antioxidant or vitamin A
moisturizer
For stubborn outbreaks turn to
the more professional products such as Proactiv
Solutions.
(Although it does have a tendency to dry out the skin, especially aging
skin, it does work wonders rather quickly).
Steaming your skin a few times
a week with a facial steamer or over warm water in the sink will open
the pores for an extra deep cleansing.
Use sunscreen each morning and
re-apply throughout the day as necessary.
It will only take a few
weeks for you to not
only notice that your acne outbreaks have diminished
significantly but that your overall skin tone has improved, in some
case quite dramatically.
Mind you,
despite all your best efforts, a
blemish will sneakily appear once in a while but, all in all, you will
be quite pleasantly pleased with the effectiveness that you are able to
prevent adult acne.
Special
Note:
As with any condition outside the "norm",
consult with your Physician if your acne is persistent,
excessive or you have any specific concerns about your own particular
acne symptoms.
