Everyone has been there - on the evening of a date or the morning of a big presentation at work, you find your skin breaking out, putting a damper on your plans or making you feel self-conscious (which you shouldn’t - it’s totally normal!). Breakouts happen - sometimes when you least expect it. If you aren’t taking proper care of your skin, eating well, and staying hydrated, they can actually happen a lot more often. There are ways to help stop breakouts and prevent them from occurring again in the future (at least as often!). These seven tips can help you reduce the amount of breakouts that you have in the future, and even stop them if you are in the middle of one currently.
Many times, we get home late, or are just too tired to wash our faces before going to bed. This is never a good idea - all the build up - oils, environmental factors such as pollution, etc. - layer on the face, and going to sleep with all of this build up can clog pores. It only gets worse if you go to bed without washing off makeup. Make sure to use a cleanser every night and every morning to ensure that you clean off any impurities. Try Refresh Cleanser from Eleven Skin for a gentle, foaming cleanser that won’t leave your skin feeling dry.

Everyone’s skin is different, and because of this, companies put out different kinds of products for those different kinds of skin. Dry skin, normal skin, oily skin, combination skin - these terms are useful when figuring out what kind of skin you have. Oily skin tends to be the most prone to breakouts, so choosing products designed for oily skin can help prevent breakouts in the future.
Staying hydrated can do wonders for your skin. Drinking lots of water every day (more in the warmer months or when exercising), can help reduce redness, prevent inflammation, and actually stop your skin from producing excess oils, which can happen if you are dehydrated.
When we see pimples, we may be tempted to layer on concealer and foundation in order to hide them, but the oils and other ingredients in the makeup can actually aggravate a breakout, further clogging pores and making the pimples even worse. When you have a breakout, it’s best to just let your skin.
Using face masks can really help breakouts - especially if they are clay or charcoal masks that can help clean pores. These masks extract oils and other impurities from the pores, which can prevent breakouts.
Skip eating unhealthy foods, such as fast food, burgers, and pizza. The grease and high fat content in these foods can actually clog pores and have a negative impact on the skin. Eat healthier foods, such as fruits and vegetables, to help clear your skin and leave you with a glowing complexion - not a breakout.

This stuff is awesome. Refresh Cleanser which I have been really enjoying it has a basic skincare smell to it no added fragrance that I can see its a thinner formula, but a little goes a long way. It gets a bit of foam and works well with a cleansing tool to really build it up. Afterward, my skin feels clean and fresh, but not tight or sticky which is a plus as some cleansers feel like you have to wash them off when your done.
