You have noticed that while you generally have clear skin, there are some times when you wake up with on your face or body. You are not sure where this has come from, so you are wondering if, perhaps, you have prone skin. About Prone Skin The first way that you can tell if you have prone skin or not is to find out what kind of skin your parents have. There are generally only a couple of types of skin: normal, dry, and oily. The people that have oily skin are they ones that are prone to prone skin, so if you and your parents have oil skin, that is a good indicator when it comes to acne. Another form of prone skin is caused by having very sensitive skin. If you have lighter skin, chances are that you have more sensitive skin than those who have darker skin. People that have lighter skin are the ones who are easily freckled and sunburned too. If you have sensitive, prone skin, chances are that you will need to consult your doctor before you try any of the remedies that are available at your local grocery store. This is because the salicylic acid in the treatments that are available can make sensitive skin irritated. There is, however, a natural remedy that might be able to help you if you have sensitive, prone skin. Think back to when you were younger and had the chicken pox. Do you remember taking a bath to ease the itchiness? Chances are that it was an oatmeal bath, and that is a gentle way for you to reduce some of the irritation that comes along with acne. The next thing that you need to think about is how allergic you are to certain clothing materials and how much you sweat. If you are the kind of person who likes to go to the gym, you should take a shower after you are done exercising. This is because when you sweat, you clog pores, and those clogged pores can result in acne. If you have an allergy to certain kinds of clothing materials, you will break out is a rash which might be mistaken for acne. You will know if this is the case, because you will only break out when you wear that material. For more information on whether or not you have prone skin, consult your doctor. Your doctor will be able to tell right away, and also be able to give you an effective and safe treatment plan, so soon you will have skin that is clear.
