After all the summer getaway in the beach, in the outdoors, or tours in and out of the country, it is inevitable for most students to dread on the thought that the time to going back to school is getting nearer by the day. And tagging along this comeback is the stress brought about by sleepless nights studying or cramming on some seemingly insurmountable school requirements— this and acne breaking out from almost every corner of the face.
It is only logical to take advantage of the time left for vacation and while everyone is at it, taking time to know how to take care of the skin before going back to school would be definitely a plus, especially when stress is very much expected.
Here are some tips to reduce acne breakouts:
One obvious sign of someone being stressed by something that needs to go away is when they habitually rest their faces on their hands, especially during class. It is quite a hard habit to break, but try to imagine all the dirt, oil and bacteria from the hands getting into those pores. It would only cause more clogging which leads to more breakouts, so keep those hands far from the face as much as possible.
It should be avoided to opt for fast food every time there is a need to catch up on the next class, or, try to save time and cram on a requirement needed, just hours away from the deadline. While everything is all right in moderation, eating a healthier option is still more advisable than getting too much sugar, dairy, fried and processed foods. It does contribute to breakouts most especially when coupled with stress. Go for fruits, vegetable and whole grains, or prepare a healthy packed lunch at home. It also does save some allowance from buying fast food.
Another bad habit that needs to leave everyone’s system is cramming. It does not help that much in getting those passing grades; it may probably work for some, but the stress brought by the lack of sleep just adds to the factors leading to acne breakouts. A bit of time management and having a responsible attitude by studying a bit everyday won’t hurt. It may be challenging to keep it habit, but it will not only keep the grades up, it could also clear up the skin, free from stress and breakouts.
