How to care for Acne

No cure is better than prevention so as much as possible start eating healthy.
Acne is a result of three factors: overproduction of oil, irregular shedding of dead skin cells and bacteria.
Avoid too much oily food, drink eight glasses of water and eat more vegetables and fruits. Acne remedies can only do so much for you unless you start taking better care of your skin.

A basic skin care routine is essential to prevent pimples

1. Wash your face with a gentle cleanser. Facial scrubs and astringents won't do because they have a tendency to irritate the skin more.

2. Use over-the-counter acne remedies like acne lotion to dry the excess oil and encourage peeling. Products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide works best.

3. Keep your face clean. Avoid having your hair touch the face because it can cause irritation and may increase the case of acne.

4. Do not pick or squeeze the pimple. You will make it worse.
