If you are wondering how to get rid of and prevent acne, there are a number of options available. Remember, consistency is key with acne treatments, and you may not experience visible improvements for the first few months. There is also the potential of a healing crisis, as your skin may get worse before it gets better. 

 

Option 1 – Self Help Techniques

If you have mild acne, self help techniques at home can help to get rid of and prevent acne. Adopting a consistent skincare routine, with noncomedogenic products will help keep the affected areas clean to minimise symptoms and prevent future breakouts. Incorporating a gentle cleanser, toner, moisturiser and SPF into your everyday routine is the best way to keep the skin protected. Do not use water that is very hot or very cold, and avoid picking at your acne. Changing your diet and lifestyle may also help acne symptoms. 

Option 2 – Visit your GP

If your acne is moderate or severe, seeking medical advice will ensure the best outcome. If you are suffering from nodules and cysts, you will need to take extra care when undergoing treatments to avoid scarring. Your GP will have recommendations for how you can get rid of and prevent acne, and may offer a prescription for antibiotics or strong topical treatments if necessary. 

Option 3 – Visit your Skincare Therapist 

Skin therapies may be the best method to get rid of acne and prevent it for the future. Depending on the symptoms and severity of your acne, this could happen alone or in combination with suitable prescribed medications. Microdermabrasion, chemical peels and light therapies, such as IPL, are all recommended treatments for acne sufferers.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
