Acne Not again!?

Acne problems! Something which everyone abhors.

In this post, I will share with you something which we do EVERY single day, and I mean EVERY.

Any idea what it is? It is the washing of the face! Every single day, you will wash your face at least twice. Once will be when you wake up in the morning and another is when you bathe. As the day progresses, you might wash more than twice.

Washing face is okay, but it will be best to use just water to wash your face without any cream or lotion. Why do I say that? All our skin are oily, the only difference is some is more oily than other. Skins that are too oily are not good, but skins that doesn't have any oil are not good as well. Moderation is the Key.

So what do I suggest? Twice a day with cream or lotion will be great. As for just plain washing of your face, don't wash more than 5 times as it will bring more harm then benefits to your skin.

During a shower, no matter how much you clean yourself, or how much your clean and wash your face, till its sparkling clean. Once you walk out of your washroom, your face will be filled with dust, INSTANTLY.

So the question that you might be asking will be "Is it bad?", "Is it good?", "What can I do to stop it?".

The answer is, its not bad, but its not that good either, and there is nothing you can do it stop it.

RUBBISH answer you may say, but its the truth and nothing but the truth!

Why do I say that its neither good or bad? The reason it is bad is because the dust will be clogging up your pores, and making them unable to breathe well and when that happens, pimples will likely happen, especially when there are other factors which we will discuss in our blog soon.

Why do I say it is good? For one thing, having dust in your face is better than having nothing, why do I say that? You need to give your skin a chance to fight against the "baddies", so that they will get stronger! The pores will get tougher! I believe all of you played the Pokemon game before. In order for your pokemon to evolve and grow stronger, you will need them to come out and fight! Only by fighting, they will earn experience, and evolve and be stronger.

Okay this example might be abit lame but you get what I mean :P

I am sad to say, there is nothing you can do it stop dust from sticking to your face, unless you want to wear a mask 24/7.

So, as I have mentioned in all my posts, moderation is the key. Your skin DOES needs the exposure, so let them have the exposure, but not with the expense of letting pimples and acne ruin your life.

Stay with me as I will unravel more of my life experiences on tackling acne problems, tips which I have used on myself and proven effective and lastly, enjoy a life without any acne problems!

DISCLAIMER: Acne is something which is very, and I mean VERY unpredictable. But all we can do now, is to really take care of ourselves, equip ourselves with the knowledge and wisdom to correctly take care of our skin, so when the time comes and you really *touch wood* gotten a pimple, you will know how to handle it and furthermore, you will have no regrets because you know it yourself that you have tried your best! And I can assure you with my 101%, if you take care of your skin well, even if you can a zit, it won't be that hard to handle.

TIP: Wash your face with water that are not too cold or hot as it might aggravate your skin.
