Tips for Acne Skin

Acne Skin Tip 1

Don't pop your pimples as this can further increase the number of pimples you have. Also, popping pimples can leave scars on your face.

Acne Skin Tip 2

Try not to touch your face with your hands. Your hands contain lots of oil and dirt, and this can easily irritate your face and encourage acne.

Acne Skin Tip 3

Stay away from face creams, sunblocks and foundations that can clog your skin. The ones that are "non-comedogenic" mean they won't clog your pores. Think about this before applying sunscreen, moisturizer and foundations.

Acne Skin Tip 4

Wash your hair frequently. If you hair touches your face - eg. you have a fringe, or your hair touches the sides of your face - your natural hair oils could be contributing to your acne. So keep it clean, and off your face if possible.

Acne Skin Tip 5

Wash your pillowcase often! When you sleep your face naturally produces oils which goes into your pillow. Keep your face away from these oils by making sure you wash your pillow case regularly - especially if you have an oily face.

Acne Skin Tip 6

Got acne on your back? Then make sure you wash your pyjamas frequently! Your back can produce oils that irritate your skin. If you sleep without a shirt on, then make sure you also wash your bedsheets regularly!

Acne Skin Tip 7

Drink lots of water, eat lots of oranges

Acne Skin Tip 8

Don't eat foods high in animal fats and oils

Acne Skin Tip 9

Wash your face with mild soap

Acne Skin Tip 10

If you are using acne products (eg. Proactive, Benzac), you need to use the products for sometimes at least 12 weeks before anything happens. So keep applying and don't give up.
