Although lifestyle is a big and important factor in determining the acne breakouts, more often than not, it is the hereditary factors that determine whether you will get acne or not. It also determines the severity of the condition as certain people tend to have worse breakouts and acne related problems as compared to others. Natrum Muraticum and Nux Vomica are great medications for fighting acne.

The use of helmets and chinstraps on a prolonged basis can cause excess oil or dirt to accumulate on the skin resulting in acne. It is important to keep your face clean if you are constantly using head gear, but don?t overdo the cleaning as that can over activate the oil-producing sebaceous glands. Sulphur is a great homeopathic medication that can help cure this type of acne.

Washing your face two times a day is a good thing to prevent acne, overdoing this would, in fact, encourage acne. This is because the more you wash your face, the drier it becomes, removing all the essential oils. If the skin becomes too dry, the sebaceous glands will compensate for it by producing more oil on your skin than normal, thus resulting in more acne breakouts.

While exposing yourself to the sun for around 10 to 15 minutes every day is fine, exposing yourself to the sun for more than that regularly will not only worsen your acne but also encourage other skin disorders. Excessive exposure to the sun on a regular basis can also cause skin cancer. Thus, it is very important that you limit and control your sun exposure.
