Top Skincare Mistakes in Acne Prone Skin 

An anti-acne skincare regime is quite different from the normal skincare routine.  Following an anti-acne skincare routine is the best way to get clear healthy skin. If you have been following an anti-acne skincare regime and still have not been able to achieve clear skin, it's time to take action and check where you are going wrong. It could be just a SKINCARE MISTAKE that you are ignoring while following an anti-acne skincare routine. Here is a list of skincare care mistakes that you need to avoid in acne-prone skin. 

Popping skin habitually 

You might have a strong urge to pop the pimple which has suddenly cropped up on your clear skin and kill the bacteria. This may backfire and cause more harm. This damages the deeper layers of the skin and damages the skin in the long run. To make it worse, it may also leave a post-acne stubborn scar which may be difficult to get rid of. 

Touching your face frequently 

Touching your face frequently is not a good idea. It is advisable to touch your face only when you are following a skincare routine after disinfecting your hands. Touching the face with active acne may cause the bacteria to spread to the unaffected areas of the skin. Ensure to follow a timely sanitization of hands correctly. 

Skipping face moisturizers fearing oiliness 

Skipping moisturizer can cause a major outbreak. Dry skin may lead to damage to the skin barrier. Dehydrated skin causes more sebum production with a negative feedback mechanism which may lead to more acne flare-ups. It is advisable to follow the CTM procedure regularly. 

Avoiding sunscreen 

UV damage can cause more harm to acne. Make sure to wear sunscreen with good SPF even though you have an acne flare-up. Unprotected sun exposure may cause drying of the skin and may damage the skin barrier causing more acne flare-ups. 

Applying too many different acne products 

Acne may take time to heal. Using too many products may cause interaction of the molecules and cause more harm to the skin barrier. 

Washing your face many times a day to keep oiliness away 

Acne-prone skin is difficult to handle with too much oiliness. In such cases, we may tend to over-cleanse our face multiple times to get rid of acne and avoid bacteria. The misconception is washing your face multiple times will help keep acne at bay. But, this is not true. You need to be careful and not over-cleanse your face. This may trigger skin irritation and may harm the skin barrier eventually making it more prone to damage. 

Without any further ado, let's take care and follow the rules to avoid these skincare mistakes not just while having active acne but also in case you are suffering from acne-prone skin.
