At some point of our teen life, we would sometimes suffer from this—having acne. While others fortunately have only one or two bumps on their face, others have a breakout of acne. It surely affects their confidence to face other people, including me, before. I actually riddled with acne once, and I ask my friends and consult some experts. Except from buying some products that helps eradicate pimples, there are these simple steps on getting rid of pimples that I've tried and worked out before, and might work out with others.

Drink Plenty of Water

If there may be one basic step you can do to dramatically enhance your skin, it's to remain hydrated. If you can drink 3L at some stage in a whole day, and a large glass before bed. If your skin is hydrated from the inside-out, it will reduce the extra oil production that clogs and because of this infects your pores, producing blemishes. In the beginning, you will be peeing each 30 minutes every day. Just endure it, your bladder will achieve capacity.

Avoid using Irritating Skin Products

Avoid using irritating skin products - whatever you buy over the counter, and most of the time a medical doctor will provide you, will likely aggravate your symptoms. Most of them contain salicylic acid or different products made to kill the microorganism that cause blockages in your pores, which will dry out your skin. For people with excessive skin sorts - both very dry or very oily - this will make your pores and skin even worse. This leads returned to the over-production of oils to compensate for dry skin.

Noncomedogenic Skin Care Products

Noncomedogenic simply put as products that helps us avoid skin spore clogging. There are a lot of these products in the market, you can ask some pharmacists and dermatologists out there. Never forget to use it regularly for a better results, most often, use it twice a day—morning and before sleeping. Don't skip to shower or cleanse your face out of convenience or negligence. Cetaphil is one of those popular noncomedogenic brands and is trusted by many.

Avoid Touching your Face

Did you know that one of the dirtiest body parts of a human are our hands? This must not surprise us, imagine how many dirty things we touched using our bare hands. So, you must keep track of your hands and see to it that you always wash it before rubbing your face with it. Dirty hands may only bring more contaminants and germs that may result in pimple breakout.

Be Mindful of your Diet

Although, there are still variations among people when it comes with the diet. Others might get their skins irritated by milk, while others not. Just check your diet, try cutting down oily foods, sweets, or starchy foods, and if it works out well with your skin, then just continue. It's just a matter of how you choose your foods to eat.

Eat plenty of foods that contains Vitamin D, C, E, and K. Those are proven in keeping our skin healthy and glowing.

Exercise

They say sweating helps in clearing our pores so have a good time in exercising. Just make sure to take a shower after exercising to cleanse all the dirt assimilated during exercises. Shower with lukewarm water, not hot. Too much temperature will only draws out moisture in our skin that may results in a dry skin.

Get some Sunlight

I mentioned that Vitamin D helps keeping our skin healthy, and we all know that sunlight activates Vitamin D inside our skin. Therefore, getting some Sunlight is good for our skin. But avoid too much exposure, just stay outdoor for about 10-15 minutes and it must early in the morning. Overexposure to sunlight will make your skin dry and age prematurely—wrinkles.

Shaving

For guys like me out there, we must use a very sharp razor to avoid irritations, just like what dull razors do. Used safety razors instead of the electric one. Safety razors exfoliate our skin and helps remove dead skin cells. Change your razors regularly.

I guess, that's all I knew and maybe, I still miss a lot of things to do to get rid of acne breakout. I'm hoping that those steps will help you.
