What Causes Acne Flare-Ups?

a) Picking and squeezing the spots may cause further inflammation and scarring b) Stress can make acne worse in some people. c) In women, outbreaks may be affected by the hormonal changes that occur during the menstrual cycle. d) Some contraceptive pills may make acne worse. This is due to the type of progestogen hormone in some pills whereas other types of contraceptive pills can improve acne.

Keep your skin acne free:

1) Watch your diet and observe the effects it has on your skin. As with any common condition, keeping your body hydrated is sound advice. 2) Avoid drinking too much alcohol (especially beer) and eating spicy food. These increase the level of heat within. 3) Drink herbal or green tea at least once a day to help detox your system. 4) It may not seem like it, but green apples are extremely good for preventing and fighting existing acne both on your face and around the body. 5) If you have glasses wash them so that all the oil is off your face. 6) There are no perfect creams and medicines that make your face smooth,soft and acne-free. 7) Try sleeping upright as often as possible (with your back facing the bed)
