Feeling good in your body and skin is important but if you're an acne sufferer,Avoid Doing These 2 Things Which Will Worsen Your Acne Articles it's difficult or impossible to feel comfortable with an acne-ridden face.

Acne is a skin disease which affects mostly teenagers and it's mostly due to hormonal changes which is pretty natural at this stage of their lives. When hormones are disturbed, your skin sebaceous glands or oil glands will produce more sebum resulting in oily skins making you more at risk in getting acne breakouts and flareups. Some teenagers still suffer from acne even when reaching adulthood.

Acne is triggered by a number of other reasons like stress, poor diet, lack of skin hygiene. Having this skin disease is in itself frustrating and it's fundamental not to worsen your acne by any means. If you're following a treatment either over-the-counter or those natural topical remedies and you're getting results gradually, it's important to respect certain rules of hygiene as well. If you don't, you'll be delaying your acne curing process drastically and worsen it instead.

First thing is avoid touching your face, incase you got that habit. Your hands might have dirt, impurities and bacteria. Proper hygiene would mean having clean hands most of the times by washing your hands regularly after touching dirty things.

Second thing is avoid squeezing or popping your pimples. Sometimes, when your acne is healing, your skin will start to itch and this where you can be tempted to scratch your pimples and squeeze them to relieve the itchiness. But big mistake. It can happen that you do it in a reflex without realising the consequences as the envy was too strong but squeezing your pimples is a no no. Popping your acne can create a hole in your skin, delaying the healing process dramatically and spreading bacteria on other parts of your skin. Blood can also come out mostly when your pimples are ripening.

When your acne is curing, respect proper hygiene and don't touch or scratch your face or squeeze your pimples even though the itchiness can become unbearable. Continue with your treatment and you'll be getting results faster.
