Makeup Tips

Every time I start talking makeup with someone under the age of thirty the conversation always ends up turning to them asking me something along the lines of, “What is the best acne treatment available?”. I always give them the same answer and, since we are here to have a conversation about makeup, I’m going to go ahead and get this question out of the way and give that same answer to you.

The best acne treatment you can do for yourself is to take the steps necessary to keep it from getting started in the first place or, at least, keep it from getting out of control. Essentially, when it comes to acne, prevention is the best cure. There are a number of causes of acne that really don’t have much to do with this discussion so I’ll leave those for another day. We are going to discuss how to prevent it instead.

First, you should wash your face several times a day with a mild soap to help keep the oils and dirt out of your facial skin pores. The first face wash of the morning and the last face wash before bed should be with a good glycolic acid based face wash solution that will help to remove the dead skin cells before they can build up and block your  pores.

This next step may seem silly but is very effective if followed. Avoid touching your face with your hands. Your fingers are covered with salts, oils and bacteria, not to mention the dirt and filth of the world. Touching your face, especially if you already are fighting acne, will only transfer these contaminants to the skin of your face and either help acne get started or aggravate what is already there.

Try to get plenty of rest and avoid stress as much as possible. Unfortunately, acne is one of the outward manifestations of a body under stress. Stress can take many forms and seem to get compounded during the adolescent time of life which can only make things worse for the teenager who is battling acne along with everything else life is throwing at them.

The best makeup tip is to firsy do everything you can to keep your natural skin as clear of blemishes as possible. These simple guidelines are the easiest way to get you started on your journey to an acne free life. If you follow these directions, and Mother Nature gives you just a little luck, you will never have to find yourself asking someone, “What is the best acne treatment?”
