JAKARTA - Feel like you've done enough to get rid of acne from your face but haven't gotten any results? It could be that there are still small habits that you unknowingly make acne reluctant to move on from the face.

Not only reducing the habit of eating sweet and fatty foods, apparently you need to eliminate this routine if you want your face to be free of acne. What are they? Launching HerStory, Thursday, October 14, the following is the full explanation.

Wash your face often

Many people are mistaken about the habit of washing their faces. There is an assumption that if you wash your face regularly, you can clean your face from acne. In fact, if you wash your face continuously, your face will lose its natural oils, so that your skin will inevitably produce more oil than usual. Excess oil is a factor in the appearance of acne.

Too Hard Scrubbing Face

In an analogy, rubbing an object with a dirty surface can clean the surface perfectly. However, this is not the same as the method of cleansing the face.

Instead of removing dead skin cells when exfoliating, scrubbing too hard can irritate your skin and lead to acne breakouts. Just rub gently with your fingers, accompanied by a gentle massage.

Not wiping sweat

When sweating, it would be nice to immediately wipe with a clean tissue. If you allow sweat to dry on its own, then a buildup of sebum and bacteria can occur. As a result, the pores are clogged and acne occurs.

Makeup is too thick

The ninja way to cover acne that is currently on the face is by covering it with thick makeup. In fact, the use of makeup will only worsen the condition of acne. The skin will be difficult to breathe so that acne is difficult to disappear. If you want to use makeup, choose full coverage and make sure the makeup ingredients contain an oil-free and non-comedogenic consistency.
