3. Use Non-Comedogenic Makeup and Skincare Products, preferably Fragrance-free:

You would have understood that acne is most commonly caused by clogged pores which are perfectly suitable for bacteria to grow and flourish.

Several skin care and makeup products tend to block the skin’s pores and also make it greasy, thus increasing chances of skin infection, irritation, inflammation and acne. Hence, we need to use non-comedogenic products (those which do not block the pores) to allow our skin to breathe. This will be mentioned on the label of the product itself.

These are also known as non-occlusive makeup products which will help you prevent cosmetic acne. Choose fragrance-free products to prevent skin irritations.

4. Do not Skip Moisturizer: 

Contrary to popular belief, acne-prone skin needs moisturizing and hydration. Stripping the skin of the much-needed moisture will only further encourage the sebaceous glands to produce more oil (sebum) to compensate, thus leading to increased chances of getting acne.

Hence opt for an oil-free, lightweight, preferably non-comedogenic, water-based or gel-based moisturizer that hydrates the skin but does not make it oily and greasy. Apply a moisturizer after cleansing and toning. Brands like Neutrogena and Sebamed have the perfect products for pimple-prone skin.

 5. Say ‘Yes’ to Exercise to Prevent Pimples:

One of the causes of pimples and acne is increased stress. With the kind of hectic work lives we are in now, stress levels can go up frequently. Just 30 minutes of exercise daily can do you good not just for your general well-being but also by effectively reducing anxiety and stress, thus preventing the chance of breakouts as the hormone levels are kept in balance.

As you exercise, you also sweat and this helps to clean your pores. But do remember to wipe perspiration off with a clean towel and also take a shower if needed after a heavy workout session. Deep breathing is also immensely helpful.

 6. Avoid touching your face:

Make it a habit to keep your hands away from your face even if it requires some willpower initially. Do not rest your chin or cheeks on your hands as this habit can cause the bacteria to spread easily. Do not pop, pick or squeeze a pimple with your fingers to avoid further spread of infection and minimize chances of scarring. Bursting a pimple is a sure shot way to get that ugly scar.

In fact it can lead to permanent scarring. Always wash your hands with an antibacterial soap before touching your facial skin. Also, try to keep your hair away from your face if you have acne-related problems. It can be pulled back into a ponytail if needed.

 7. Try to eat Healthy:

Stay away from junk and sugary foods, specially fried foods containing saturated fats; drink lots of water to stay hydrated and flush out impurities from the bloodstream and toxins (that can cause you to breakout) from your system.

Eat at least one fresh fruit daily and include green, leafy veggies, nuts; foods high on Vitamin A and C and whole grains in your diet. All these together will regulate the amount of oil that your skin produces, thus minimizing the risk of breakouts. This is an essential step when it comes to the question of how to reduce pimples occurrence!

The above tips will definitely help you prevent pimples, acne and breakouts.
