Other ways to clear your skin
You should wash your face twice a day, in the morning and in the evening. Studies have shown that people who washed their face twice a day had improvements with their skin while the people who only washed their faces once a day had an increase in pimples.
Moisturizers can help your skin stay hydrated because if your skin is dry it will more likely overproduce oils and that could result in breakouts. Try to look for a moisturizer that’s noncomedogenic, which means it won’t clog up your pores.
If your not sleeping enough it could result in your skin to breakout more often or worsen your acne. You need to get 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to prevent this.
Even though popping your zit sounds pretty satisfying, you can’t do it. Picking or popping your pimple will expose the pore to more bacteria and since you’re using your hands all the time, it will likely get the bacteria from there, thus increasing the risk for infections and scarring.
Studies have shown that foods with a high glycemic index could be linked with acne. It’s advisable to eat low-glycemic foods. Try to cut back on a high glycemic index, such as baked goods and white bread, sodas with a lot of sugar in them and sweets, eat more fruits and vegetables and more protein.
