Acne And Bacteria, Is There A link?
Although I’m a firm believer in “healthy body, healthy skin” i.e. that good skin health starts from the inside out, I can’t completely ignore the bacteria argument.
If I ever get a breakout, from whatever cause, one of the first things I do is reach for Betadine to help keep the affected area nice and clean. I use that one because it’s cheap and readily available and it doesn’t dry my skin out.
Night time routine
All I do is use it after my face wash at night by wiping the area with a cotton wool pad that has Betadine on it. then I’ll use my normal moisturiser.
Extraction routine
I also use it after I have extracted a pimple, either with cotton wool or just a cotton bud with betadine on it.
Betadine Warning
Careful with your silver jewelry though! It tarnishes on contact so be sure to remove any before you start!
