Preventing Acne in Girls: Tips for Clear and Healthy Skin

January 7, 2024

Acne is a temporary phenomenon during adolescence, and it generally naturally reduces and fades as puberty completes, usually around the age of 35. Therefore, girls do not need to worry about it. Acne generally does not require treatment. However, if the symptoms are severe, it should still be taken seriously. If not handled properly, it can leave lasting effects, causing facial blemishes or scars that affect one's appearance. Therefore, for girls who care about their beauty, prevention of acne can be done from the following aspects:


1. Pay attention to skin protection

(I) Regular cleansing is necessary to keep the skin clean and fresh. Cleansing is the first step, but it is important to use the correct cleansing method.

(2) Avoid hot water when bathing or washing your face, and avoid using excessively stimulating soaps.

(3) Avoid using oily cosmetics; prevent frequent direct exposure of the skin to sunlight. Direct sunlight not only damages the skin through ultraviolet rays, but it also stimulates the secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, leading to clogged pores and accelerated inflammation. Lastly, do not squeeze acne with your hands to avoid inflammation and scarring.

2. Maintain a balanced diet

As the saying goes, "you are what you eat." Acne is also closely related to diet. Girls who want a clean, acne-free face should learn to have a balanced diet. For example, eat more light foods such as lean pork, black fungus, cucumbers, tomatoes, and soybeans; eat less fatty and sweet foods such as animal fat, fish oil, animal brain, egg yolk, sesame, peanuts, various sugars, candies, and fruits with high sugar content like melons, bananas, sweet potatoes, and dates; eat less or avoid spicy and stimulating foods like tobacco, alcohol, coffee, chili, and garlic.

In addition, it is important to eat more alkaline vegetables and fruits, as well as foods rich in zinc, vitamin A, and carotene. Breakfast should include more starchy foods, vitamin A, and inorganic salts. Dinner should include more plant proteins and foods with low fat content, as well as more leafy vegetables and fruits.

3. Maintain a positive mood

The skin is a reflection of one's emotions. Girls should pay attention to maintaining a good mood, staying away from mental stress, anxiety, and worries, and ensuring adequate rest and sleep.

Girls, if you have "youthful beauty acne" on your face, you can try adjusting your diet, eliminating triggering factors, and also incorporating some psychological therapy. Believe that you will also achieve magical results.
