How To Prevent Acne: 5 Tips!

This was a requested topic, so I thought I would give you some tips on how to prevent acne!

Keep in mind, that I'm not a scientist or doctor, and my skin isn't COMPLETELY clear. I do get a few pimple here & there.

{1} Wash your face with a cleanser at night ONLY. There is no need for using chemicals on your face in the morning, when it is 95% free of bacteria. When you use a cleanser or anything type of face wash on your face 2 times a day, it irritates your face. You need to give it a break.

{2} BEFORE using a face wash, wash your face with the old-fashioned wash cloth & water. You should use this method in the morning also. AFTER using a cleanser/face wash, be sure to rinse your face off with water COMPLETELY. You don't want the chemicals left on your face, damaging your skin.

{3} If possible, try using an all natural cleanser more often than not. Check your local whole foods store for natural products, but be sure to read the directions before using.

{4} Now, this one may be hard, but every night, sleep on the opposite side of your pillow as you did the night before. When you sleep on the same side of your pillow every night, the oil from your face build up. Then, when your face is clean, you are rubbing your face on the oil.

Every night before you go to bed, be sure to flip your pillow over. A good way to keep track of which side you last slept on, is get a pillow that has 2 different patterns on each side.

{5} Be sure to use Oil-Free Cleansers. Even if you have dry skin, you don't want to add more oil to your skin. Especially if you wear makeup, you really want a oil-free cleanser.
