WHAT ARE ACNE?
Acne are characterized by red and inflamed bumps appearing on the surface of your skin. Your hair follicles get blocked with dead cells and excess oil, which lead to the formation of blemishes. Acne vulgaris is the umbrella term used for papules, comedones, pustules, nodules, or cysts.

1. Washing Face Multiple Times A Day 
The most common misconception is that washing your face multiple times with a strong cleanser can help to get rid of pimples. In reality, doing so not only triggers skin irritations but also snatches away natural skin oils. However, board-certified dermatologists explain that if you have acne-prone skin, cleansing your face twice a day, morning and night is enough to keep your skin clean and bacteria free.
2. Popping Pimples Habitually
You might have a strong urge to pop the pimple, but dermatologists strictly advise avoiding it. When you squeeze and scratch your pimple, it forces the bacterial infection to go into deeper layers of skin, ultimately resulting in more severe acne. Not only this, popping the pimple causes severe damage to the skin, which appears in the form of acne scars later.

3. Not Moisturising Face Thinking It May Increase Oiliness
Various research studies have indicated that skimping on moisturizer is one of the major causes of breakouts. Whether you have dry or acne-prone skin, moisturization should be a crucial part of your daily skin care routine. It has been observed that moisturizing your skin on a daily basis helps to treat the existing acne and reduce the risk of future breakouts. Skin care experts explain that you can consider using hyaluronic acid and ceramides to rejuvenate your skin.
4. Using too many treatment products at the same time
Undeniably, the use of topical medication is found quite effective to clear the acne, blemishes, dark spots and so on. However, applying too much quantity of ointment only delays the healing period rather than any improvement. 

However, dermatologists recommend applying a pea-sized amount of medication with your index finger on the affected areas on your face. Ingredients like salicylic acid, Boswellia serrata resin Extract, Scutellaria baicalensis Root Extract are quite effective to clear the acne and soothe inflammations.

5. Not Using A Sunscreen
Wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen is one of the best ways to keep your skin safe from blemishes and Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation. UV rays trigger melanin production in the skin, ultimately making your blemish worse. Moreover, broad-spectrum sunscreens also reduce the risk of photoaging of the skin.
