Causes of Acne

Keep your face clean. Whether you have acne or not, its important to wash your face twice daily this removes impurities, dead skin cells, and excess oil from your skins surface. Washing more often than twice daily is not necessarily better; it may do more harm than good. Use warm, not hot, water and a mild facial cleanser. Don’t use a harsh soap (like deodorant body soap) as this can hurt your already inflamed skin and cause you more irritation.Avoid scrubbing your skin harshly with anything, a washcloth, exfoliating glove, or a loofah. Gently wash your face with clean hands or a very soft cloth. Always rinse your face well, and then dry with a clean soft towel. Put the towel straight into the laundry hamper. Dirty towels will spread any bacteria.Keep your hands off your face. Avoid touching your face or propping your cheek or chin on your hands. You can spread bacteria and you can also irritate your already inflamed facial skin. Never pick or pop pimples with your fingers, as it can lead to infection and scarring.Get on top of this acne and stay there!
