Acne skin care 101

When trying to treat acne there is a multitude of Acne skin care treatment products. Some work by the edition of vitamins A or E, or both. While some of these products seem to work well others may make the problem worse. There are some things that you can do to help prevent an out break of acne. Number one what acne you have do not pinch the heads of the pimples as all your doing is making this area all red and blotchy, as well as possible spreading of any bacterium that is in the pus of those pimples. Spreading just makes matters worse.

Another thing you can do is not to have anything on your face before you go to bad at night, washing your face gently to remove makeup or anything else that might cause the pores of your skin to get blocked. Also after any exercise or physical activities were you are sweating, it is always a good ideal to gently wash your face to remove excess oils that are released. These oils are breeding grounds for the bacteria Propionibacteriumcan which is one of the contributing factors to getting acne.

Something else you can do to help with the prevention of acne, is to try to keep your face from having to much contact with anything, especially your hair as your hair has oils in it. Another thing you can do is to keep your bedding clean so that you have a fresh pillow case against your face at night. All these things help in the prevention of an acne outbreak.

And if you’re going to use acne skin care treatment products, the ones that have Tea Tree oil are the ones that are likely to work the best for you. Or you could use the pure oil it self to get even better results, as Tea tree oil has been found to be a very effective natural treatment for acne.

If you should ever decide to use tea tree oil or products with Tea Tree oil in them. It is always wise to first apply some of the product to a small area of your skin to make sure you don’t have a reaction to it, as a small number people have reported having an allergy to it.
