Cleanse carefully. If your skin is oily, you'll probably do well with a foaming or gel cleanser for daily skin care. Cleanse once a day, or twice if your skin gets very oily or dirty throughout the day. If you wear makeup, it's best to remove eye makeup first, then cleanse with your fingertips and a gel or foaming cleanser. If you play sports or work hard in PE class, wash your face (if you can) before you exercise. Carry facial tissues to blot your skin.
For those who have dry rather than oily skin, try a milky cleanser and moisturizer. If you make a regular habit of sleeping in makeup, you can have an acne breakout or develop a bumpy rash called perioral or periocular dermatitis.
Control oil. You want to keep down the shine without being harsh on your skin.
If you have breakouts, try this approach: Wash your skin, use a toner, and then apply a medicated acne gel.
Don't share makeup. It's an especially bad idea to share eye and lip products. So, as tempting as it is to try your friend's perfect new eye liner, get your own instead.
Keep hands clean. One way to help your skin stay healthy is to protect it from dirt and too many germs. Wash your hands before you touch your face or touch up your makeup and regularly clean other surfaces that touch your skin, such as your phone.
Choose spray hair products. If you notice that your acne breakouts cluster around your hairline or places where your hair often brushes your skin, consider that your hair product might be to blame. Make a switch to spray products which are less likely to cause breakouts.
Skip the toothpaste and other old wives' tales. You might hear about many odd remedies to control acne, like putting toothpaste on your skin. In fact, this could just make skin worse if you are allergic to the ingredients. There's a ton of great skin care products on the market that can help you look your best.
Wear sunscreen. You want your skin to look healthy now and for decades to come.
Talk to a doctor. Seeing a dermatologist about acne can make a huge difference, especially if you have red, pus-filled pimples or large lumps under the skin that are painful or leaving scars.
