How to prevent Acne
Care and Prevention for Acne Prone Skin
Avoid over cleansing of skin: Drying products: Alcohol-based astringents and harsh cleansers can actually worsen the condition. When the skin becomes dry, acne prone skin 'compensates' by producing even more oil resulting in more pore clogging.
Avoid picking at the skin: Squeezing and picking at blemishes can not only prolong the infection but cause permanent scarring.
Avoid Greasy Creams and Makeup: Oily makeup and creams clog the pores of the skin resulting in more acne formation. Always purchase skin care products that state "non-comedogenic" to insure that they have been tested for acne prone skin.
