There are many lifestyle changes you can follow for acne-fighting. The following are some helpful tips:

Minimize the direct contact between your smartphone and your face! In fact, smartphone is one of the most hotbeds for germs in this modern living.

It an spread germs and dirt from your hands (fingers via texting) to the skin of your face (via talking if you don’t use headset).

To keep safe, wipe the surface of your smartphone every day with a little hand sanitizer.

Use SPF (Stand Protection Factor) when you are in the sun for long hours! Getting excessive exposure to sunlight can dry out your skin – therefore it’s important to wear SPF if you have a lot of outdoor activities.

Without SPF, it’s easier for your skin to get burned and this can worsen the lesions of acne. Additionally, if you have acne-prone skin, choose lighter SPF with non-occlusive chemical ingredients!

SPF containing titanium oxide / zinc oxide is more likely to become thicker which then can be more potential to clog the pore openings of the skin.

Also, choose sunscreen products with ‘noncomedogenic’ label so the product would not clog the pores of the skin – as noted before.

Being hydrated is the basic thing you need to follow to improve the health of your skin – even it’s also important for your entire health!

According to a research conducted by the University of Missouri-Columbia, being hydrated is very crucial to help maintain the blood flow throughout the skin and body.
