• Don’t pick, pop or squeeze, or otherwise mess with your skin. Squeezing blemishes or whiteheads can lead to infection or scarring. It almost always makes the acne you have worse.

 

  • Change your pillow case often. Dermatologists recommend every three nights.  Dirty towels and pillowcases can harbor bacteria and germs that can make acne worse.

 

  • Wash your face with fresh towels

 

  • When Sleeping. Be sure to pull your hair away from your skin when you sleep.

 

  • Shower ASAP after you have your workout because sweat combined with skin oils can trap dirt and bacteria in your pores.

 

  • Makeup 1.Try cutting down on the amount of makeup you use… a lot of woman with bad acne will try covering it up by adding more makeup to their face which blocks more pores and increases the chances of acne.

 

  • Makeup 2. Before going to bed wash your makeup, otherwise and can clog your pores and lead to breakouts. Also make sure to clean cosmetic brushes regularly in soapy water and throw out old brushes that appear to be contaminated.

 

  • Don’t just spot-treat existing pimples. The pore-clogging process happens two to three weeks before any blemish becomes visible on the skin. Use topical treatments anywhere that you tend to get breakouts

 

  • Prevent Stress. Do things that help you to release your stress levels such as regularly exercising. Exercising can help reduce stress and it increases blood circulation and oxygen penetration to the skin, which may help to prevent acne.
  • Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day to help “detoxify” the body from the inside out. 

 

  • Leave pimples alone. More than not, it is usually the best thing to leave pimples alone….But there two kinds that you can squeeze or pop to help get rid of it. If thine pimple has a little central yellow pus head in it, then a gentle squeeze will make it pop open. Once the yellow pus pops out, the pimple will heal more quickly.  (sorry for the graphic nastiness) Blackheads are the other ones you are allowed to pop open.. Blackheads are distinguished by their blackheads :) A blackhead is a very blocked pore.

 

  • Do not mix acne treatments. Decide to use one Acne treatment at a time; mixing acne treatments can have the opposite desired results.
