Can Acne be controlled or prevented by changing one’s Lifestyle?

Lifestyle habits as well as dietary habits can be used as parameters to both control and prevent acne. Acne can be treated by high-quality skin care or via medicated treatments prescribed by a cosmetic surgeon or a dermatologist.

Acne can be controlled and prevented by keeping the skin clean and healthy. This can be done by using a mild face wash or a cleanser for removing make-up or after coming from work or outside. Also, washing the face with either ice cold or lukewarm water regularly can help keep the skin fresh and spotless; it also helps remove dirt and air transmitted bacteria from the surface of the skin. A good moisturizer must be used at night and a sunscreen during the day time. This help to minimize any damage to the skin and keeps the skin soft and smooth. Stimulants such as over-consumption of tea, coffee, alcohols and sweets should be avoided; oily and fatty foods must also be avoided. Instead, a lot of fluids, fibers and fruits rich in mineral and vitamins should be eaten.

With the development of the fashion world, putting on layers of make-up is the recent trend. It must be borne in mind that the over use of make-up and other chemical products ruin the face’s natural glow and texture. So, be simple, natural and look beautiful!
