1. Wash Your Face Daily
If you have acne prone skin, this is incredibly important. In fact, wash your face twice everyday. You should wash once in the morning before putting on makeup and again at night before getting into bed. Through out the day our skin collects dirt, oil, and other impurities that can clog our pores and lead to breakouts.
2. Moisturize
Keeping your skin moisturized is so important. Washing your face is vital too, but the thing is, washing your skin pulls away much of the necessary oils in the skin. Follow up each wash with a good moisturise suitable for you skin type.

3. Spot Treatment
Apply salycic acid or benzoyl peroxide to the blemishes on your acne prone skin to heal them up quickly. These treatments work by drying out the zit to help speed up the process. This can be one of the most helpful tips if you have a lot of breakouts. Just remember to be kind to your skin, especially if it's sensitive.
4. No Picking
Avoid picking at any blemishes on your face. Zits are filled with bacteria. When you pop a pimple that bacteria spreads and can seep into other pores, causing them to break out as well. Your best bet is to keep your hands off your acne prone skin.
5. Choose the Right Products
There are so many different face washes, creams and moisturizers on the market. When trying to find one look for products made specifically for acne prone skin. Also take into consideration your skin type. Some products are made for oily skin while others are good for dry or combination skin.

6. Eat Well
Although the verdict is still out if oily foods actually cause oily skin or acne breakouts, it is always good advice to make wise food choices and follow a balanced diet. The nutrients and vitamins found in fruits and vegetables will make your skin look better regardless of the acne.
7. Drink Water
Water not only keeps your body hydrated but it also keeps your acne prone skin hydrated. It helps flush impurities out of your body, including some of the bacteria that causes pimples. Opt for water instead of sugary sodas and energy drinks through out the day.
8. Don’t Dwell
Having bad skin can be a real downer, especially if you get a break out before a date or special event when you wanted to look your best. Don’t let those little pest get the best of you and keep you locked inside. Put on that sexy black dress and beautiful smile and make the most of your night anyways. Don’t dwell on those zits, chances are no one even sees them.

shayna: I've been dealing with acne for years now and it really requires being vigilant about my diet and skin care regimen. No Dairy!! It causes a rise in insulin levels as well as IGF-1 which can cause the sebaceous glands to produce to much oil. This will clog the pores. Acne is basically clogged pores - but it causes so much emotional distress! Use a salicylic acid face wash to remove dead skin cells helps dramatically. I have more helpful tips on my website clearskinalways which may be helpful
Anonymous: I use Dr Hauschka products as they are 100% natural and are really helping me win my battle with acne. I really reccomend them :)
Anonymous: I love my clarisonic and can't say enough about how it's helped my acne. it took a few weeks, but it definitely helped reduce the number of flare ups and the length of time a breakout would last.
Emma: Acne is the most serious issue, one can suffer through. Thanks for sharing the tips.
