Acne - More Great Tips

Tip 5 – Do not touch your facial skin too often! The bacteria that causes acne (Propionibacterium acnes) is a normal resident of your skin. It does not however lead to acne until it is trapped inside the hair follicle. You should therefore avoid tpuching your face extensively, including resting your chin in your hands! It can drive the bacteria into pores where it can begin its dirty work and cause acne.

Tip 6 – Remember to take a shower after working out. Your skin generates heat when you exercise. The heat and the moisture are trapped against your skin until you shower off. Therefore remember to take a shower as soon as you can as the heat and moisture are the perfect breeding ground for acne bacteria.
