Top 10 Ways to Cure Acne

by Mark Sinclair


10. Drink plenty of water. Water helps rid your body of toxins and keeps your skin plump and moist.
9. Get adequate sleep. Sleep is when your body fights acne the most. In addition, it is when blemishes heal. If you don't get enough sleep, your body won't have the proper time to heal.
8. Limit sugar intake. Too much sugar causes your blood sugar to spike which makes your body release hormones that can cause acne breakouts.
7. Don't touch your face (or let anyone else). Your hands have oils that can clog pores and cause acne to flare up.
6. Be careful shaving. For guys especially, be careful to shave with the grain, and softly. Ingrown hairs can cause skin problems.
5. Shower before sleeping. If you only shower once in the day, shower at night because your body has gotten much dirtier throughout the day.
4. Keep your skin moisturized. Dry skin is a big cause of acne. Keep your skin well moisturized with an oil free lotion.
3. Don't scrub too hard. Scrubbing too hard can cause skin irritiation and cause your skin to breakout.
2. Don't pop your pimples. As hard as this is, it is very important not to pop your pimples, as this causes the bacteria to spread.
1. Believe that it will get better. This is hugely important. If you have a positive attitude and believe that your acne will get better, your body will start to believe it as well and your skin will improve.
