1. Wash your face twice a day with lukewarm water4
Washing your skin can help remove dead skin cells and excess skin oil that can clog your pores5. This is especially important after perspiring, as sweat may clog the pores and make acne worse.
2. Use gentle alcohol-free products4
Avoid products that may irritate your skin. Certain astringents, exfoliants, and toners may cause your skin to dry and redden, which may make the appearance of acne worse.
3. Don’t pop your pimples4
Avoid picking or popping your acne, as this may make acne worse, and increases the risk of swelling, redness, and acne scarring5. It helps to avoid touching the affected area, as repeated touching may also cause irritation.
4. Avoid the sun4
Some acne medications may make the skin more sensitive to ultraviolet radiation. It helps to stay indoors, or to keep your skin covered up with long, loose clothing.
5. Talk to your dermatologist
When considering “ano ang mabisang pantanggal ng tigyawat?” it is best to talk to a professional.
Your dermatologist is the best person to consult when it comes to understanding how best to manage your acne. They may prescribe medications to help you clear your skin. However, it is important to finish the entire treatment duration, even if your skin clears, in order to avoid recurrences and further outbreaks5.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
