By Steven MacIntire


It is interesting that acne, such a prevalent problem amongst teens and young adults alike causes an uproar like almost no other type of blemish. This might be perhaps because it is very hard to treat, and comes with a social stigma for dirtiness. Don't be caught being judged, learn how to take care of breakouts before they happen.

Try not to cover up blemishes or acne with too much toner or foundation. Too much product on your face will actually clog pores, potentially, making the blemish worse. Covering the area with make-up, could dry out the area causing an infection and in some cases, scarring.

Using apple cider vinegar can clear an acne breakout. It may not smell the nicest, but one of the most effective remedies for acne is vinegar. Dab a little on a cotton ball, and apply to your skin after cleansing. It will balance your skin's Ph levels and can clear minor breakouts overnight.

If you want to prevent your skin from breaking out, stay away from caffeine. Most people are very sensitive to caffeine and it causes their skin to break out.

For those who are prone to outbreaks of acne, it is important to avoid excessive touching of the face. The bacteria which causes acne (Propionibacterium acne) is a normal inhabitant on a person's face. This bacteria does not lead to acne until it becomes trapped inside a person's hair follicles. When a person touches their face excessively, this can force the bacteria into these openings and form acne.

To get rid of a noticeable zit faster, you can apply baking soda or toothpaste containing baking soda on it. Leave this paste overnight on your skin: it might burn at first but it will help your zit develop faster. Make sure you thoroughly clean your skin the next day.

The above skincare tips are just a few of the many different ways that you can resolve embarrassing and frustrating skin issues like acne. Follow all of the tips, or just those few that apply to you and your needs. You might be surprised by how quickly you can resolve your pesky acne problem.
