Most of the time, acne is caused by hormonal imbalance and clogged oils in the hair follicles. Most people are unaware that acne can be prevented by simply changing some lifestyle, hygiene and diet habits. There are many cures to acne that might take time to work. Prevention is better than a cure. Preventing acne does not need much, just about improving how you work around the acne-prone areas on your skin. 

Washing your face

Hot weather can make you want to wash your skin multiple times. Washing your face multiple times can backfire because it removes the skin’s natural oils, causing the skin to be dry and break out. Washing your face with hot water can also make your face dry. As much as washing your skin multiple times can backfire, washing it less can also be bad for the skin. It can clog dirt and oils in your skin that can eventually build up into pimples and breakouts. It also leaves your skin dull and dry. Washing your skin twice a day is best because it removes dead skin cells, cleanses the pores and removes pollutants. Leading you to having smooth and clear skin.

Moisturise your skin

Most people with oily skin think it’s not necessary to oil their skin. When the skin is not moisturised, it goes into panic and creates its own oils. Lack of moisture makes the skin dry and flaky, darkens the complexion and causes the skin to lose its natural glow. Constantly moisturising the skin is important to prevent the skin from producing its own oils. Apply moisturiser every time your skin feels dry. 

Avoid touching your face.

Your hands have a lot of bacteria and oils. Touching your face may not be the best decision. It causes a lot of bacteria to enter your pores. In hot weather, it is better to carry a towel that you will use to wipe sweat. Avoiding touching your face includes popping pimples. It may be tempting, but it is not good because it causes bacteria to go deeper into the skin, leaving swelling and dark spots. Let the pimples heal on their own.

Eating healthy and hydrated

Everything someone eats will show on their skin if they eat fatty and unhealthy foods. It makes their skin dull and increases oil production. The skin will have an uneven tone with dark spots. Eating fruits and vegetables makes your skin increase its elasticity and firmness. Drinking water has a lot of advantages when it comes to your skin’s health. It balances your oil production and helps with cell production, which naturally repairs the skin.
