To anyone dealing with acne: “EMBRACE YOURSELF. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND ACNE IS JUST A CONDITION! NOTHING MORE.”

1. Don’t let sweat dry on your skin! Take a shower!

When you exercise, your body produces more sweat. To prevent it from drying on your skin, shower as soon as you finish your workout.

2. Exfoliate!

Make exfoliating scrubs a part of your skincare routine. They can cleanse your skin of sweat, dirt, and anything that clogs your pores while removing dead skin cells.

3. Wear breathable outfits.

Some fabrics and tight clothes might irritate your skin. Opt for breathable outfits to stay comfortable and avoid skin issues.

4. Keep your hair off your back!

Long hair can transfer dirt to your back. Keep it off your back to prevent painful acne from forming.

5. Choose your skincare products carefully.

Be mindful of your skincare products. Look for ingredients suited for acne-prone skin, such as salicylic acid, tea tree oil, and white willow bark, to reduce acne.

6. Stay hydrated!

Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Increase your water intake to support your immune system, which helps flush out acne-causing bacteria.

7. Add anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods to your diet.

Incorporate anti-inflammatory foods like berries, whole grains, beans, certain nuts, and more into your diet to reduce acne.

8. Do not pop the zits!

Resist the urge to touch or pop your zits. This can lead to scars or infections. If they itch, consult a dermatologist for a topical spray to aid in faster healing.

9. Use non-comedogenic SPF.

While the sun provides vitamin D, it’s important to use SPF to protect your skin from UV light. Choose a non-comedogenic SPF for acne-prone skin to avoid clogged pores.

10. Include zinc and low-GI foods in your diet.

Research suggests that zinc-rich foods can reduce acne inflammation and balance the skin barrier. Foods like spinach, oysters, pumpkin seeds, and wheat germ are high in zinc. Additionally, low glycemic index (GI) foods such as vegetables and fruits can help reduce acne.
