When the skin's pores become clogged with sebum, pimples can form. To reduce acne and care for your skin, wash no more than twice a day with warm water and a mild cleanser specially formulated for oily skin or acne. Try over the counter benzoyl peroxide products if you have pimples. Wash your hands often and try and keep them away from your face. Also try to keep the sweat off your face and tie your hair back to keep hair oils from your skin. For girls, wash your make-up brushes and sponges often. Talk to your doctor if your acne is serious or you're unable to control it. A change in your diet can also improve your skin and help you avoid acne. Limit fried foods and sugary foods, increase your vegetable and fruit intake, and try a multivitamin, multi mineral supplement.
