Be selective with skincare

Always be choosy when it comes to your products and routines. Since everyone would love to have clear skin most of the time, there is a tendency to go for anything that promises perfect results even when they don't work.

If you know your skin doesn't like certain ingredients, avoid them at all costs. Also, choose a simple routine and don't be quick to burden your skin with a hundred products.

A suggestion that might help is consulting a dermatologist so that you understand your skin better.

Have your pimple cream ready

Most of the time you can tell when a pimple is about to pop up. You will feel some irritation and a bit of swelling on that spot then the zit will slowly grow.

This is where your pimple cream can come through before it's a fully grown zit. Try and always apply your cream when it's still in the beginning stages so that it doesn't end up maturing and possibly leaving a scar.

Relax more

Stress and breakouts are often connected. The stress hormones our bodies release increase the occurrence of problems like stress acne and this can happen to anyone including those who don't usually have acne-prone skin.

Although we can't eliminate stress forever, it still helps to put some measures in place. If you find yourself going through a tough season, just keep up with your usual skincare routine and try your best to find healthy ways you can relax.

You can also consult a dermatologist on the best products to use if this problem is chronic.
