Popping a zit could push infected material even further into your skin. This leads to scarring, redness and swelling.
2. Use Speakerphone
Try to avoid putting objects that collect dirt, oil, and skin residue—like your phone!—directly to your face.
3. Don't Overwash
Don't wash your face more than twice a day. Your skin could become dried out and irritated, and it requires some of your natural oils for maximum health.
4. Don't Scrub Your Face
Again, scrubbing can lead to irritation. Use gentle, circular motions. No matter how hard you scrub, that zit won't disappear!
5. Use the Right Lotion
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends a lotion containing benzoyl peroxide to decrease oil and bacteria.
6. Clean Your Accessories
Your glasses, sunglasses, or nose ring could be littered with bacteria. Clean them frequently to avoid breakouts.
7. Avoid Headwear
Have pimples on your forehead? Ditch that headband or hat—they collect oil and deposit it on your face.
8. Sleep Clean
Take off your makeup before you go to bed. Also, try to buy makeups that say "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic" on the label. It will be a discussion for future post.
9. Rinse and Repeat
Keep your hair clean and style it away from your face. You don't want the oil that occurs naturally in your hair to be in your pores!
10. Avoid Sun Damage
Use suntan lotion with a high SPF for your face. A tan or sunburn will worsen your acne—even if you think it's masking the blemishes.
11. Eat Well
We suggest foods high in omega-3 fatty acids—such as salmon, walnuts, or soy beans. These will help reduce inflammation.
