Preventative Maintenance to Cut Down on Acne
What kinds of preventative maintenance can you use to cut down on your acne? Is it possible to do something about acne outbreaks on your own?
One of the first and most important measures to help prevent acne is to have a healthy lifestyle. Eat three good meals a day, get the proper rest at night, and drink a minimum of eight glasses of water a day. Relax; don’t let stress control you even if you do have a frantic and unpredictable lifestyle. NEVER, EVER, pick or squeeze a pimple or blackhead. When you do the skin always looks redder, feels bumpier, and draws more attention to the pimple you want to hide. The redness will go away faster if you just leave the bumps alone, no matter how hard that may be!

Home Treatments that Help Fight Pimple Prone Skin
The most effective home treatment regimens for acne start with washing your face.
You may think you know how to wash your face — you’ve been doing it all your life, right? Well you may have been causing some acne problems. Washing the face twice a day, either with a formulated soap that is designed to fight acne, or with an antibacterial lotion that contains benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, can help prevent acne. Washing your face several times a day however, can wash away essential skin oils. This can cause your sebaceous glands to create more skin oil — and perhaps over-produce skin oil and cause acne problems. Washing your face or entire body carefully up to two to four times each day with a very gentle soap and without a lot of friction will leave you with a clean face and body and should minimize acne problems. However, scrubbing or scraping the skin with a rough washcloth may help you feel clean and refreshed, but that method is very hard on your skin and will, almost certainly, create acne problems by scrubbing away natural skin oils and actually damaging your hair follicles. If you properly care for your skin with washing and moisturizing, your skin will stay healthy for you.
