Acne problems are not just with women, they happen to men as well and to make things worse, men have more severe acne than women do. No one likes it when they get acne. Men get acne either on their face or on their back. It may occur as a result of hormonal imbalances or the clogged pores of an oily skin which lead to bacteria growth. If you face too much sweating, then the situation gets all the more worse for you. Acne on your face is worse than acne on your back as they are visible, but they are easier to get rid of.

Let’s take a look at some of the cures for acne in men:-

  • Clean your Skin Regularly
Make sure that your skin is clean at all times. Yes it is true that acne does not occur because of dirty skin. But a good skin care routine will add to your acne prevention treatment. For this you need to wash your face regularly and moisturise it to prevent it from drying up. There are cleansers available on the market but do not go for the ones with beads in them as they may cause irritation.
  • Shave your Skin Carefully
Yes, men need to shave themselves regularly but they need to be careful while doing so. This is not only to protect yourselves from cutting your skin, but also to save it from pain or irritation due to acne. Ensure that the razor you use is clean and make use of an antibiotic foam if you have a sensitive skin. Avoid those parts of your skin where you have acne to prevent pain and irritation.  
  • Drink Plenty of Water
Drinking lots of water will prevent you from acne problems. It helps to eliminate those toxins from your body which lead to such problems, and maintain balance in the body for its normal functioning.
  • A Big No to Chocolates and Sweets
Mostly men are not very fond of chocolates and sweets, but if you are one of those who are extremely fond of it, then reduce your sugar intake because it is one of the major causes of that irritating acne on your face.
  • Acne which doesn’t go Easily
Stubborn acne is that one enemy of your skin which sometimes does not go away easily. It will stay there on your face for longer and irritate you. In that case, you may go for some lotions available on the market for getting rid of this problem but do consult a physician before using one.
Acne problems aren’t a major issue now, there are a number of scrubs and creams available in the market but yes, consulting a dermatologist before using will be helpful.
