How to deal with sudden acne breakout on face?

Acne

One day, you glance in the mirror and notice that your skin is almost clear. But when you overindulge on late-night pizza, acne appears. It’s frustrating. Thankfully, there are plenty of simple solutions to this common skin problem.

What causes sudden breakouts?

  • Stress

Stress has harmful consequences on your health and your skin is no exception. Being worked up is one of the most common causes of sudden acne breakout on the face. Stress leads to the overproduction of oil and the clogging of skin pores. These two things combined are the reasons for pimples to appear. So, when you’re stressing about that paper or your love life, you’re more likely to get those little skin white spots.

  • Hormones

Your hormonal cycle is one of the leading causes of sudden acne breakout on the face. Acne is common during premenstrual syndrome (PMS). This is because of the levels of the progesterone hormone spike. This leads to the production of oil and works to tighten skin pores. This is the reason for the sudden breakout on the face at that time of the month.

  • Greasy food

A healthy diet is vital to your skincare routine. This will leave your skin feeling and looking as clean as ever. On the other hand, if you go too hard on late-night munchies or ice cream pints then you might find yourself with a nasty pimple. After all, you are what you eat!

  • Sweat

Did you stay on the phone too long or you didn’t wash your face after working out? Leaving sweat on your face will certainly lead to a sudden acne breakout. This happens because sweat is a physical irritant that can clog the pores.

How can you prevent sudden breakouts?

  • Exfoliate regularly

You wash and moisturize your face every day, but you don’t always think to exfoliate it. This is super important. All acne starts with clogged pores.

  • Destress

When it comes to clear skin, taking a break can actually go a long way. Therefore, talk to a friend, go shopping or walk around the block, whatever helps you relax. Your skin will thank you!

  • Do not pick at your face

You have probably been told never to pick a pimple and with good reason. You will only increase the inflammation, make it more noticeable, and even increase the risk of acne scars. So, keep your hands away from your face.

Even after taking care of all these things, if you get a sudden acne breakout on face, seek professional help. You can take the help of homeopathy if you want a safe, effective, and best treatment for acne. Homeopathy offers long-term relief. It prevents acne formation by targeting the root causes of acne. It helps to decrease acute symptoms of acne-like pain, irritation, and bumps.
