How to reduce skin break outs

Let's be honest, we have all struggled with break outs at least once in our life, some of us are still trying to get rid of them. Some of them are caused by hormonal imbalances, some others by allergies but most commonly break outs are caused by bacterias. If you belong to this last group like i do, here's some easy tips to reduce it:

-Change your bed sheets at least once a week.
It might not seem like a big deal but our face rests on the pillow for a least 5 hours a day so if the sheet is not clean it might cause your skin to break out.

-Change your towel al least once a week.
It really makes no sense to wash your face with a great cleanser everyday and then use a dirty towel to dry it. Changing it every week will sensibly reduce your chances to get a skin break out, also if you can, try not to share it. It's more hygienic if everybody has his own face towel.

-Use a cleanser every morning and every night.
Cleaning your face twice a day is very important, purchase the cleanser that better suits your skin type and try not to get one with too many petroleums in it. A good cleanser should help remove built-up oil and debrits from the skin, help unclog the pores and clear the cutis.

-Remove makeup every night before bed
Now, this is a very important step especially if you wear foundation and concealer, if you don't remove them your skin won't breath, the makeup will clog the pores and you will end up with pimples all over your face in the morning. Also the ingredients makeup is made with are usually not good at all for the skin, so the least they sit on your face, the better.

-Pay attention to skin care products/ makeup expiration date.
If you didn't know that already, yes, beauty goodies do expire. Usually the date is a little number close to the picture of an opened jar that indicates the amount of months you can keep that product for. Sometimes i struggle to use everything up before the expiration date, a tip could be to share it with a friend, you will not only save money but you will avoid having to trow out something you haven't finished yet. Of course you don't have to trow it away the day it expires but don't keep it for too long.

-Don't wear foundation while you work out
Sweat and foundation don't go along well. Wearing foundation is like having an extra layer on your skin so if you do while you work out your skin won't be able to breath and let the sweat out, that can cause your skin to get irritated.
