Things to Avoid

1. Greasy Cosmetics

Greasy cosmetics contain agents that may change the follicle cells and cause augmentation. When that happens, sebum cannot escape and as it builds up in the skin pores, blackheads, whiteheads and acne result.

2. Certain Drugs

If you know you are sensitive and susceptible to acne outbreaks, avoid taking prescription or over-the-counter drugs that contain androgens, barbiturates and lithium. Some substances interact with one another and develop acne as a symptom. When you taking drugs containing stanozolol, avoid mixing with medications containing any of these such as flunisolide, aerobid, aerobid-M, nasalide and bronalide.

3. Rough Skin Handling

Treat your skin with care when washing and shaving. Try not to scratch or squeeze your pimples.

4. Excessive Exposure to Sunlight and Pollutants

Avoid excessive sunlight and exposure to pollutants. Spend more time indoors than outdoors. Over dosage of sunlight would hurt our skin complexion.

5. Contact Pressure

This refers to the contact pressure between our skin and clothes or head gear we wear such as sports headgear, tight clothings etc.
