4 Ways to Get Clear Skin
Jun 17, 2021
Acne and other skin blemishes can be frustrating and embarrassing. But the good news is you can take control, get clearer skin and be happy. Here are four ways to get clearer skin at home:
- Clean your face twice a day (or more if you exercise or sweat heavily). Use warm water to get the initial layer of dirt and grime along with a mild cleansing product. Avoid using items other than your fingers to clean, as scrubbing can aggravate your skin.
- Try using benzoyl peroxide or a salicylic acid wash.
- Leave your pimples alone. It’s very tempting to pop or pick them, but this will only delay the healing process and could make the acne look worse.
- Protect yourself from the sun. UV rays can burn skin and damage it, which can make acne worse and lead to far worse skin conditions.
These tips work for some, but not everybody. Sometimes it’s necessary to see a professional.
