There are many different skincare routines out there on the market to choose from, and it can sometimes be almost impossible to find one for you!

If I were you I would ask somebody behind the counter if you go to a pharmacy to ask for a recommendation, it took me about 5 different creams till I found one that worked for me. Remember that its not just about your skincare routine, following a healthy lifestyle benefits not only your skin, but many other things to!

Why do youths get more acne than adults?

Puberty and skin care are two reasons, but there are also times in adult development when the skin changes and people are more prone to acne. Some skin types produce more oil causing blackheads and pimples. Makeup and creams also may clog pores resulting in acne. Diet is also another cause. More young people eat junk and fast foods and the oils in these foods may result in acne. Skin care needs to start at an early age to prevent acne. Older people may take better care of skin because as we age it becomes drier and to prevent wrinkles people wash and use creams more often than younger people. All of these things are factors and in some cases there is also a genetic foundation for acne problems.

What you use to remove pimple spots on your face?

The most popular and effective antibiotic is benzoyl peroxide. It is present in most acne treatment products. It reduces inflammation by fighting off P. acne, one of the bacteria that contributes to inflammation and is found on the skin. Benzoyl peroxide also opens and drains comedos, also known as blackheads.

You can also use other treatments that contain salicylic acid. It is just as effective as benzoyl peroxide.

If severe acne continues, go see a doctor.

Along with things to treat acne, there are other things that can contribute to acne. Excessive make-up and cosmetics develop more acne. Such cosmetics include: hairspray, hair dye, and products with oil and grease.

Anything that rubs the skin excessively promotes acne. A misconstrued myth is scrubbing your skin hard with soaps to treat acne. This actually makes the condition worse. Instead, scrub gently and carefully when bathing. Also, clothing items like bra straps, hats, helmets, or shoulder pads produce the same result. Tight, hot clothing can exacerbate acne because sweat and humidity can build within the clothes.

There is no link between acne and a person's diet. This does not mean eat all the greasy foods you want. You still want to stay healthy with fruits and vegetables but all in all, there is no correlation.
