Treating and Beating Acne: Part II
Cleansing, moisturizing, and diet
Priya Crumpton
In this installment, we are going to continue to explore ways to treat and prevent the appearance of acne. There are a number of things to help your client understand in order to keep this stubborn skin condition from taking up residence on their face. Cleansing, moisturizing, and diet are just a few areas to explore with them.
One trigger that leads to the proliferation of acne is the buildup of bacteria, so keeping the skin clean is of the utmost importance. Making sure to have a cleansing routine morning and evening is essential, especially if you have clients who wear makeup, play sports, or exercise on a regular basis. I always encourage my clients to properly wash their makeup brushes, keep their cell phones clean, and wash their pillow cases once a week. The more we can keep our skin clean, the less likely we are to see acne breakouts.
