How to get rid of acne and remove with treatment at home
Let's talk about acne and pimples and what you
can actually do to get rid of them we're going to talk about lifestyle tips we're going to talk
about skincare routines and we're going to be talking about treatments so what we're waiting
for let's begin okay so let's begin with tip number one let's start talking about diets okay
there is some evidence that suggests that having a diet high in high glycemic foods can potentially
make acne worse compared to diets consisting with low amounts of high glycemic foods now if you want
a full list of these sort of foods i am going to leave more information in the description below
moving on to tip number two there is some evidence that milk and dairy can increase or trigger
acne the evidence is less consistent compared to the high glycemic food that we spoken about
just now but if you do want to sort of cut out dairy and milk okay you need to make sure that you
replace it with a non or a dairy free alternative basically only because you're gonna be lacking on
calcium otherwise so if you're gonna replace it make sure you get a dairy-free alternative
moving on to tip number three you need to make sure you're changing your pillowcase every
day your pillowcase is going to be full of oil it's going to be full of dead skin cells and it's
going to be full of bacteria that builds upon it all of which can make acne worse now the easiest
way that i've found to do this i bought 14 pillowcases i change them up every single day and
then on the weekend i wash the seven used ones and then i've got another seven spare and i can keep
rotating it like that okay moving on to tip number four if you have long hair and it gets on your
face it can actually irritate the skin and make acne worse especially when you're sleeping so when
you're sleeping especially tie it up or put it in a bonnet moving swiftly on to tip number five
stress it has been shown that stress can increase the amount of acne that we get so you need to
learn different techniques that are going to help you handle the stress okay i do have a few videos
on the topic i'm going to leave it up here and in the description below so make sure you get on top
of the stress which is going to help with the acne let's move on to the next tip okay so moving on
to tip number six tip number six is all about cleaning your face make sure to use a gentle
cleanser and lukewarm water is completely fine okay maximum you need to be washing your face is
twice a day no more than that okay don't over wash don't over scrub don't use super hot or super cold
water don't use those exfoliation creams that are really harsh on the skin to wash your face don't
use any of them because what's gonna happen it's going to inflame the skin make it worse and also
it's going to increase oil production which makes acne worse lastly once you've finished cleaning
your face just gently pat it dry with a nice clean towel don't scrub again because all it's going to
do is make the acne worse moving on to tip number seven if you wear makeup you must make sure that
you wash it off before going to bed and also with any products makeup moisturizers creams anything
like that always look for the words non-acne genic non-comadogenic which basically means it's been
tested and it doesn't block those pores and moving on to tip number eight would you finish washing
your face to prevent it from becoming dry use a moisturizer make sure it's a light non-comedogenic
one that we spoke about and make sure it's not too greasy or oily and definitely definitely avoid
ointments okay so moving on to tip number nine this is a pro tip always always before going
out make sure to wear a sunscreen make sure it's non-comedogenic it's not greasy all that sort
of stuff we spoke about earlier but make sure it's spf 30 as well i highly recommend doing this
because what that's going to do is protect the skin stop it from scarring and also pigmentation
all caused from the acne that's healing on your face moving on to tip number 10 please do not
pick those spots all it's going to do is increase inflammation increase increase redness i can't
speak and increase soreness okay and worst of all it will increase your risk of scarring and
potential infections now let's continue back in the surgery so moving on to tip number 11 let's
talk about medical treatments one of my favorite medical treatments for acne is topical retinoids
why do i like them well retinoids reduce pore obstruction this can be really really helpful acne
and on top of that they reduce the inflammation of acne so it's a win-win now please do remember
though retinoids increase the skin cell turnover so because of this it can cause a bit of redness
a bit of irritation to begin with but this does settle down after a couple of weeks you just need
to bear with it moving on to tip number 12 it's all about reducing bacterial overgrowth benzal
peroxide is really good at killing bacteria okay and it can be one of the foundations actually of
acne treatment it can be used with retinoid as well there is a combination product available as
well which can be very very helpful and it makes it a lot easier to apply now please do remember
benzoyl peroxide can bleach your clothes it can bleach your pillowcase your bed sheets your
towels so please do bear that in mind but it can be very very effective at acne treatment
it's like i said it's one of the foundations and when it's used with resinoid it can be even more
effective and moving on to tip number 13 please be patient with these treatments look it can take
up to two to four months for these treatments to actually show their effect and that's because skin
cells take a long time to regenerate and renew which is then going to show actually how effective
it's been so please remember that and moving on to tip number 14 always treat acne as soon
as possible and always speak to a healthcare professional as soon as possible the thing about
acne is the sooner you treat it the less likely you are to get scarring and any problems in the
future and involving a healthcare professional can mean that they can do a step-by-step approach
on your treatment if these topical treatments aren't working they might start your antibiotics
they might start your own oral ice treat knowing so these are the important reasons why you need
to speak to a healthcare professional we've come to the end of this week's video i really hope
that you find these tips helpful always remember your royal summer now we'll see you next week
honestly it's so warm right now here in the uk it's like 35 degrees anyone ever thinks i don't
enjoy filming it is literally the highlight of my month when i film this is a sound test can
you hear me use super hot super cold water i don't know if i've already said that but this bird
just keeps like burning away and that's why i like filming outdoors usually because there's all these
different factors that stop the filming process
