Exfoliation is believed to improve acne by removing the skin cells that clog up pores. Another benefit of exfoliation is that it can improve the skin’s appearance, including some cases of acne scarring.

4.Prevention
Not Removing Makeup
Greasy, oil-based makeup can cause pimples, as these products are bound to clog pores. Avoid applying heavy makeup and try to use water-based cosmetics and lesser cream or oil-based makeup. Always prefer to use natural products since chemicals can cause acne breakout as well.
Traveling
Travelling is one of the common causes of breakouts. When you travel far, the change in the environment, including the weather, temperature, humidity, water, etc., triggers the formation of pimples, and they arrive to say hello to you!
Friction Or Rubbing Skin
When you rub your skin constantly using a towel or pick at pimples constantly while working on laptop/phone, they grow worse.
Oily Food
This is the most important reason for pimple formation in today’s generation. Everybody enjoys eating food outside and eating a lot of fried and processed food triggers your oil glands and produces sebum, which leads to pimples, blackheads, and breakouts.ALways try to eat healthily and minimize these harmful oily foods.
Dairy Products And High Glycemic Foods
A report presented by New York University says that eating high glycemic foods like bakery goods and sweet beverages that are high in sugar content causes pimples. Adding healthy and fresh food to your diet will always help to fight the pimples.
Stress
As already explained, stress plays a very important role in causing pimples as stress makes the hormones go on a roller coaster ride. So you need to manage your stress by following the prevention techniques as explained above.
