Skin care for adult acne is not a hard process, but needs to be done effectively.
You have to clear your acne, prevent scarring associated with acne breakouts and promote smooth healthy skin.
This can be done in 3 steps.
Each step is equally as important and serves a different purpose for having an acne free skin and having healthy skin.
The first thing you need to do is to eliminate your acne.
That starts by washing your skin twice a day.
Use either a mild soap or a gentle skin cleanser.
Do not scrub your skin as this can cause more breakouts to occur.
Instead, lightly rub for one minute and rinse off with warm water.
Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
By doing this, you are taking the first step to clear skin by washing off acne causing bacteria, dirt and oil.
The next thing you need to do is to apply a topical acne fighting treatment.
Natural acne treatments like Tea Tree oil are very effective for clearing acne and for preventing acne scars.
Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the most effective over the counter acne treatments for acne.
This can be applied one to two times a day for best results.
Whichever one you choose it is important not to use too many creams at once as this can cause dryness of your skin.
Finally you need to moisturize your skin to prevent over drying and to promote smooth, clear and healthy skin production.
Aloe Vera is a natural skin moisturizer, which is also effective for fighting acne and for clearing and preventing scars and blemishes.
Aloe can be applied once or twice a day.
