If you have been plagued with breakouts at any point in your life, you have likely heard of a whole host of different hacks and old wives' tales that promise to banish a breakout quick smart. They vary from things like “apply toothpaste to it” to “pop it, but just make sure you get everything out of the pimple”. While a lot of these hacks do so, so much more harm than good, I am here to help you with 5 simple & truly effective hacks that won’t leave you with a scar or blemish that lasts months!
1. Change your towel every 2–3 days
Reusing the same damp towel spreads bacteria back onto your skin. Using a fresh towel or even patting your face dry with a disposable paper towel can seriously help reduce new breakouts.
2. Clean your phone screen daily
Even if you don’t press it against your face, the bacteria and oils from your hands end up on your cheeks and jawline. Quick alcohol wipe = less jawline acne.
3. Stop touching your chin when thinking.
This simple little subconscious habit can be super detrimental to our skin. Resting your face in your hands transfers oil, bacteria, and dirt directly into pores that are already acne-prone.
6. Keep your hairline clean
If you use dry shampoo, hairspray, or even natural oils in your hair, you have to be mindful to ensure that you clean your hairline gently in the evening. You can do this with your cleanser, micellar water or even just a damp cotton pad. Product buildup causes hairline pimples fast.
7. Check how often you actually wash your makeup brushes
Dirty brushes are such a common cause of random breakouts. You truly should aim to clean them once a week if you use them regularly. It doesn’t have to be some crazy routine, it can seriously be quickly done with baby shampoo or a gentle cleanser.
Now let's talk about effective solutions to prevent the breakouts!
What kind of things can we incorporate into our routine to help alleviate any acne we have?
These are the top 6 ingredients to incorporate into your vitamin routine to help alleviate & prevent acne.
Echinacea
✔ Helps reduce inflammation and supports the immune system to fight acne-causing bacteria from within.
Fish Oil Powder
✔ Rich in omega-3s, which lower inflammatory breakouts and help regulate oil production.
Burdock Root
✔ Naturally antimicrobial & anti-inflammatory, it helps fight acne-causing bacteria & also reduces hormonal acne flare ups.
Probiotics
✔ Balance gut health, which is closely linked to clearer skin by reducing systemic inflammation and skin sensitivity.
Vitamin A
✔ Regulates cell turnover to prevent clogged pores and supports skin healing—often referred to as nature’s retinoid.
