Have pimple problem? You need to take adequate care when it comes to buying the right skincare products and even cosmetics.

We give you nine tips which will ensure you do not go wrong with it the next time. Also know more about OTC acne medication. Also Read - Acne? Follow these 5 tips to banish your acne forever

As a ground rule, if you are prone to acne, look for products which have the word ‘non-comedogenic’ mentioned on the labels. (The term ‘comedogenic’ refers to products which clog the skin pores causing pimples). Also Read - Dermat-recommended tips and treatments for managing acne

Products

If your lotion or sunscreen has synthetic Lanolin, avoid using it as it is a very comedogenic substance.

Don t opt for products which have fragrance as they can cause allergies as well as acne.

Use a mild cleanser or face wash at least 2-3 times a day. Do not scrub your face very hard when you wash it. It might just cause the acne to spread. Want to get rid of acne forever? Try these treatments.

Use hair gels, sprays and styling products very sparingly and with care. They contain alcohol and oils, which are harmful for skin with pimples.

Avoid facials with a lot of massage with heavy creams. Go for regular clean-ups instead. These will ensure that you do not have blackheads too. Here’s how to keep blackheads at bay.

Cosmetics

When buying foundations, avoid ones that contain Isopropyl Myristate. They can act as irritants that can flare up your acne.

Avoid glossy lipsticks and lip balms. They have higher concentrations of comedogenic substances like petroleum jelly and wax. Go for matte finish instead.

Don t use cream blushes and eyeshadows. They are generally thicker and comedogenic. Instead use powder or gel blushes and eyeshadows.

Even in the powder variety, avoid eyeshadows and powders containing shimmer. The mica particles in them can cause clogging of your pores. Also try these home remedies for pimples.
