Health Tip: Can’t Clear Your Acne?
By LadyLively on August 2, 2017
If you’re having little success in clearing your acne, experts say you shouldn’t give up hope.
The American Academy of Dermatology suggests:
- If you’re trying a new treatment, give it time to work before you try something else. You should see some improvement in four-to-six weeks.
- Always follow the instructions on any medication or skin care product.
- Don’t scrub or pick at your skin. Avoid touching it repeatedly.
- Use products labeled “oil-free,” “non-comedogenic” or “non-acnegenic” that shouldn’t clog pores.
- Use acne medication on any area prone to a breakout, not just on active blemishes.
- Regularly wash pillowcases, hats and anything that touches your face.
