Though it may seem like a dubious statement, lets look at the facts. It is generally believed that Acne is caused by hormone changes caused by a variety of factors including Stress. Oily skin and a Bad diet of fast foods and snacks are also considered by many to cause Acne.

Well if this is the case, what happens when you are at the computer ? Most of the time, people sit there for hours staring the screen, working, playing games, searching for and reading articles, checking stock quotes, chatting, etc. Each of these activities can be stressful, especially if you have one of many computer problems that happen.

Maybe you find yourself eating fast food while you are working, or perhaps snacking on potato chips,. Greasy foods will only help to increase an Acne Problem. Maybe you are eating deliciously greasy French fries, with the oil sticking on your fingers, so when you sit there pondering with your head in your hands, you are adding more grease to your face.

Maybe a computer does not directly cause acne, but frequent use of a computer does help create an Acne Friendly environment.

So it all or nothing, no computer and clear skin, or computer and bad skin ? Of course not. There are ways that you can help the situation.

1. Take Periodic Breaks

Every hour or so, take a 5 minute bathroom break. Get up, walk around, get something to drink, go to the bathroom, clear your head. Reduce the stress level. This is a quick and easy tip that will help you maintain a balanced hormone level and keep clear skin.

2. Don’t eat while at your computer

I know it is hard at times to get away from work, or heated game, but give yourself a half hour away from the computer to have some food, ideally not fast food, though there are healthy fast food options. Also, eating properly will help get away from munching on potato chips and other oily snack foods. And after you eat be sure to wash your hands. A balanced diet will help.

3. Keep hand sanitizer or hand wipes at your desk.

If you do eat at your desk, or are a sweaty person, or do anything else to make your hands or face dirty, use either hand sanitizer or a hand wipe to keep you hands and face clean. Or at least have a small hand towel, or handkerchief to wipe your face. And basically, DONT TOUCH YOUR FACE !!!
