Here’s what you can do to prevent and reduce the appearance of acne breakouts.
Acne-Prone Skin Regimen for Men
1. Always choose products marked as “non comedogenic.” Comedogenic products have ingredients that are commonly known to promote acne. Some of the better know comedogenic ingredients are coconut oil and mineral oil. Check out “Comedogenic Products vs. Non-Comedogenic Products” for more information.
2. You’ll most likely need to use a medicated product to control your acne. The two most active ingredients recommended by dermatologists are salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, which can be found in dermatological-grade men’s acne creams, men’s acne lotions and men’s acne pads produced by MenScience. If you’re using acne treatment products, you should take special precautions, such as avoiding sun exposure. Consult your dermatologist if your condition worsens.
3. Use a men’s face tonic with an acidic PH and a men’s face wash with salicylic acid to keep pores clean and clear. Keeping your pores unclogged is essential to getting acne breakouts under control. Read “Tips to Prevent Acne Scars” for information on minimizing the appearance of acne scars.
