Acne Skin Care Tips

I find if I force myself to wash my face twice a day with warm water and a mild cleanser made for people with acne that my breakouts are way less. If I only wash my face once a day, I have more zit problems. I also use an exfoliating scrub every 2-3 days so that I don't over scrub my face which might cause the skin to become irritated.

Whenever I exercise I really make sure to clean my face asap, which is something I didn't use to do. When I let the sweat set too long I seem to get more breakouts.

Another thing I do is whenever possible I pull my hair off of my forehead so the oils don't just sit there 24 hours a day.
