Look for these ingredients when choosing a moisturizer. 3. Exfoliate. Few people know that exfoliation is as important as cleansing the skin and so leave it out from their routine. This should not be the case. Skin exfoliation at least once a week is necessary to remove dead skin cells that cause blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. To avoid mistakes in choosing acne skin care products and treatments, it is very important to have the knowledge about general cause of acne, its types, the age of the patient, current status or acne condition, so you know what are the products appropriate for each kind and avoid possible allergic reactions. Patients can already resume their work even hours after treatment. Before the treatment There are really no strict requirements before undergoing the procedure. But for safety purposes, patients are advised to not put any retinoid or retinal. There should also be no AHA usage for three days before and after the treatment. For people who get acne on parts of their body, make sure to avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes that prevent your skin from breathing, thus further causing more infection. Also avoid wearing scarves, caps, headbands and any piece of clothing that would prevent the skin from breathing and may collect oil or dirt. Basic hygiene is the single best solution to acne problems in oily skin. 3. Remove Make-up Another reason why pores are clogged is the interaction of chemicals and oil on the skin. To prevent this, avoid sleeping while there is still make-up on your skin. This is actually a no-no for all skin types but all the more important for people with oily skin. One of the most common yet inexpensive way of going through a natural exfoliation process is to use dry brush exfoliation that can regularly be done in the morning before taking a shower. Commonly used for this form of natural exfoliation is a fruit or vegetable- base fine abrasive scrub, like a loofah, natural soft bristle brush or skin scrub.
