Acne Treatment Houston

A universal cause of acne remains a mystery. Genetics, hormones, clogged pores, bacteria, hyper-productive oil glands, diet, stress, inadequate sleep, makeup, sunscreen, hair styling, are among the myriad of contributing factors that can lead to acne.

- Train yourself not to touch your face. They carry both oil and bacteria.
- Never “pop” pimples yourself. This is the main source of scarring and embedding bacteria deeper into the skin.
- While exercising, be vigilant to keep your face clear of sweat.
- Stress is often a major factor, so reducing stress through meditation or any other technique that appeals to you will go a long way in both increasing overall health, but improving your skin condition as well.
- Routinely change your pillowcase.
- Healthy diet. Plenty of water and nourishing foods will reduce the amount of waste your body has to process through your skin.
- Stay rested. This ranges from the amount of sleep you get, to keeping your sleeping area clear of lights and other factors that inhibit sleep. More information on getting better rest here.
- Get professional advice to ascertain which treatments are right for you, and purchase quality skin care products. Many popular brands harm your complexion as much as they help.
