10 tips for preventing acne
1. Keep your face clean. Wash your face gently with your clean hands or a very soft cloth, rinse well and dry with clean towel
2. Moisturize. Always hydrate your skin with water before moisturize it
3. Try over-the-counter acne product. Choose product with ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Beware when using this product as benzoyl peroxide can cause redness, scaling of your skin and it could bleach ur clothes, towel and hair
4. Use make up sparingly. Avoid foundation, powder or blush during breakout and choose oil-free/water based product
5. Watch what u put on ur hair as it can drip on the face - blocking ur pores and irritate the skin
6. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF YOUR FACE!
7. Stay out of the sun.
8. Feed your skin. Avoid greasy and junk food. Eat more veggie, fruits and whole grains to ur diet.Food responsible for acne breakout include: Saturated fat, caffeinated foods, iodine in seafood, alcohol, processed foods, red meat, refined sugars and carb
9. Excercise daily to reduce anxiety and boosts blood flow throughout ur body.
10. CHILL!! honey sila settlekan all our wedding preparation.. i takleh stress hihi...

Last but not least, to those who cannot resist to squeeze your pimple like me,

How to squeeze a pimple properly?

1. Steam ur face as it widens ur clogged pores and soften skin. Steam for 10-15 or hold warm washcloth to ur face for a couple of minutes
2. Wash ur hands before squeezing
3. Use gauze pads around ur fingers. Squeeze only if it has a pus-filled center
4. Squeeze gently each side of the pimple to force the pus to the center
5. Wash your face again after squeezing and do facial mask. Clay or mud musk work best to remove excess oil and shrink enlarged pores
6. Apply healing agent. Refer to #3 in 10 tips for preventing acne.

Happy experimenting!
