How to Get Rid of Acne

Acne is a natural occurrence for many people, especially during adolescence. Acne can be embarrassing and painful. Though this ailment is uncontrollable, it can be diminished with an effort and change in habits.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Wash your face, neck and hairline once or twice daily. Wash gently by rubbing your fingertips in a circular motion and rinse with lukewarm water.

2. Purchase over-the-counter acne medications. You may have to try several before you find the best one for your skin. They come in a wide range of prices, and more expensive is not always better.

3. Be careful when using all skin products. Apply only oil-free make-up, lotion and sunscreens. The ones that read "nonacnegenic" or "noncomedogenic" are best.

4. Keep hair products out of your face. Cover your face with a towel while applying hair gel, hairspray and mousse. While taking a shower, wash your face last to remove shampoo and conditioner that may have run down your face.

5. Keep sweat, germs and dirt off your face. Pull back long hair when it's hot, and avoid wearing hats and sunglasses.

6. See a dermatologist if your acne is affecting your self-confidence. A doctor may prescribe a heavy-duty medication or take further preventative measures.

7. Change your diet. Eating chocolate, candy and greasy and unhealthy foods can definitely affect your complexion. Limit junk food intake, get plenty of vitamins and lead an overall healthy lifestyle.
