Tips to help manage your acne
- Don’t pop, pick or squeeze your pimples. This can distribute bacteria and invite more acne or lead to scarring
-
Be sure to wash your face with a gentle cleanser in the morning and evening, and after sweating
- Avoid using abrasive cleansers such as exfoliates and astringent products (e.g., toners) which can aggravate your acne
- Wash items that come into contact with your face often (e.g., pillowcases, hats, makeup brushes)
