How to Get Clearer Skin Without Medicine or a Doctor

People of all ages can struggle with the condition of their skin. No matter if you're a teenager or an adult, you might have skin issues that you want to relieve. Acne, for example, may cause your skin to not be as clear as you would like. This can affect teens and adults. If you do not want to take medication or see a doctor for your skin issues, you can do some things at home to get clearer skin.

Instructions

• 1

  Wash your face gently twice a day, at morning and at night, with a mild soap to prevent acne breakouts. Use a light, circular motion with your fingertips, and pat dry with a soft cloth.

• 2

  Limit hot showers and baths to about 10 to 15 minutes. Hot water can cause your skin to dry out.

• 3

  Use shaving cream whenever you take a razor to your skin. Otherwise, razor burn and other problems with skin irritation can emerge.

• 4

  Moisturize your skin, then wash your skin and replenish it with a fragrance-free moisturizer. One with natural ingredients, rather than harsh chemicals, will help prevent further skin irritation.

• 5

  Apply sunscreen to your face and body whenever you're planning to be outside, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, and apply it about half an hour before going outside.

• 6

  Use an over-the-counter lotion that has "benzoyl peroxide" as an active ingredient. You can purchase it These at a local drug store. It will help prevent acne breakouts.

• 7

  Wear makeup that is "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic." These types of makeup are less likely to clog your pores and so will leave you with clearer skin.
