Steps to Control Your Acne

If you are always battling with acne and suffering new flare ups on a regular basis then here are some tips to get you on the right path to start controlling your acne.
1.
One of the first things you need to do is understand exactly how acne is caused.
I know that sounds boring and too much like a science class but it is one of the best things you can do.
You only need to understand the basics.
There are a lot of myths out there so knowing the basics and educating yourself on the facts will help you to understand and control it better.
There are so many causes of acne such as heredity, hormonal fluctuations, medications, oil glands producing to much oil to name a few.
If you pinpoint the particular causes then you are in a better position to clear it up.
2.
It is also highly recommended that you make an appointment with your GP.
They can rule out any allergies or other conditions which could be the main culprit of your acne condition.
Depending on the severity of your acne, your doctor can also recommend treatments specific to the type of acne you have.
3.
Another important point is to test different acne culprits one at a time.
If you change your cleansing regime and change your diet at the same time you won't be able to pinpoint what change caused the improvement in your acne.
It's always best to test one variable at a time.
