Acne is defined as a diseased condition of the skin that involves the hair and oil glands. It is characterized by pimples, black heads, white heads, reddishness and cysts. Face acne can spoil your appearance to a great extent and body acne can really ruin your day by making you very uncomfortable. Physical and emotional distress is common among acne sufferers.

Caring for acne prone skin should really start much before the acne actually appears. It is more about being proactive than reactive when it comes to treating acne. As with most things in life, prevention is key. Following daily skin care routines with complete discipline is imperative. So let us have a look at what preventative measures to take to combat the formation of acne.

Cleanliness of your skin is the first and most basic preventative measure to take. Your morning shower is the most basic way of keeping the skin clean. In fact, a lot of people take night showers as well. This not only helps in keeping your skin clean, but also provides relaxation to your body and enables a good sleep. Since stress can be a contributing factor in acne formation, a nightly shower may help relax you. If you are living in a hot and humid climate, a nightly shower will be very welcome. A shower is also recommended after any activity that causes high levels of sweat to develop.

Preventing acne is not about just taking showers. Having acne does not mean you are a dirty person. It just means you need to wash off the dead skin cells, that contributes to the formation of acne, more frequently than someone without acne. You will also need to change your towels and pillow cases more frequently. Try to change your pillow cases every night if you can. For body acne, a nightly change of the bed sheets might be in order as well. Tight clothes can also cause sweat to accumulate quickly, so soft and comfortable cotton clothes are recommended for sleeping. Natural fibers, like cotton, are the best fabrics to have next to your skin

Using a mild, water-soluble, oil-free and soap-free cleanser for keeping your face, neck and arms clean is important. Cleansing is the most important part of any acne skin care routine. Cleaners are the easiest and the most effective way of removing dirt, grease, pollutants and excess oil from your skin and reduces the probability of acne occurrence. Become faithful in removing your make up nightly.

If you already have acne, do not touch pimples or squeeze them. It can spread the acne underneath the skin, which causes more acne to erupt and also lead to permanent scars. Gently clean the affected area and follow the directions of the medication you are using. There are various acne skin care treatment creams and lotions available online. Sometimes it is best to buy a month or two of supplies to see the results you receive with the product. However, when you know a product works for you, try to buy in bulk if possible. You will usually get a better deal when buying in quantity.
