Rinse with luke warm water in the AM and before bed- use face lotion after, wash your pillow case often, try not to touch your face.

Do not use body soap or hand soap on your face. Face wash is fine because it’s for your face. Other soaps are too harsh and can cause problems.

Less sugar, wash your face as needed for your skin to get rid of excess oils, towel over pillow or change pillowcase often. If you need more than that, ask someone else

Change your pillowcase and sheets often.

Remove the skin

Don't wash your face with HOT water!
I always had pretty bad breakouts, but not washing my face in the shower (I like my showers pretty hot) along with having a clean pillowcase has pretty much eliminated them. I just wash my face afterwards while I'm shaving.

I cut sugar and dairy from my diet when I was 16 and suffering from zits, although it wasn’t the cystic type of acne. My skin cleared up completely within a few weeks. I had gotten my first bout of acne when I was in the fifth grade, and I suffered from breakouts for years until I made that dietary change.

Get a good face cleanser and moisturizer.

If you have a breakout one thing you can do is before bed take some ice, wrap in a towel and rest on breakout area for 10 minutes. It reduces swelling.

Don't touch your face during the day. Change your pillow case every few days.

Also you might end up like some of us in our 40s still getting breakouts.

Your symptoms now, or not take accutane and have acne?

Accutane

What you put in your hair matters. And wash your pillow case.

avoid dairy

That’s not supported by science. It’s an old wives tale

Sugar is the main cause of acne imho.

Besides that, I also find that:

• Exercise sweat from cardio somehow really helps my facial skin.

• I like using the product "Weleda skin food" on my face after taking shower.

• Avoid using soap on your face when taking shower.

• Drink more water

• Food allergies. Try changing your diet a bit. This doesn't just apply to skin issues but also to people who are trying to get flat abs. Sometimes food allergies make you bloated and you never know why if you're not experimenting with changing, cutting out different parts of your diet from time to time. I happen to know that eating raw cashews makes my face break out. Eating raw almonds helps my digestive system and flattens my abs a bit - or at least reduces the feeling of bloat.

• If none of the above works might want to see a dermatologist

Keep a clean diet (little sugar)

Stop washing your face with soap.

Use jojoba oil to very lightly moisturize (dime size amount.

Keeping your face clean/washed, limiting sugar, and drinking lots of water.

No. If you're not working in an environment that gets your skin greasy, you shouldn't be washing your face more than 2 times a day. Stripping your skin of it's natural oils can actually make things worse.

It might help some people, it could also make it worse for some people. Overwashing can be just as mush of a problem as not washing enough.

Sleeping on a clean towel/cloth or changing your pillowcase daily makes a much bigger difference.

I'm very prone to acne, and washing never ever helped me. Eliminating certain things from my diet did.

over washing may make your face start to produce MORE oil...

Everything triggers mine. But it’s weird cuz when I actually stick to a daily skin care routine my skin gets worse. When I go to bed without washing my face or even when I leave makeup on my face (which I rarely do cuz ew) I’ll have little to no inflammation and usually don’t have any new breakouts the next morning either. So idk what the fuq I’m supposed to do or what the secret is but I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t

Sugar, dairy, oily food, oily hair. My skin always gets better when I eat clean consistently

oily hair and dirty hands, pillows, excess oil etc

Breathing 

lol, EVERYTHING

Shower after work because the longer sweat and heat stay on your skin, the more fungal acne can flare. Quick showers immediately after work help.

If you can, take short breaks in the shade and gently pat sweat off with a clean cloth or blotting paper.

You can potentially ask your derm for the oral treatment. It’s apparently more effective. I did read it potentially causes issues with your liver though so be careful. I try to powder my face as much as possible to keep it dry

If you get breakouts, always do a trial of removing dairy for at least a month. You will know pretty quickly if it's helpful or not. Also a good quality, broad spectrum probiotic can really help improve acne if you also have gut issues such as constipation, bloating, diarrhoea etc as well.

People touch their faces on average over 20 times per waking hour (and still sometimes while they sleep), so this advice is asking for some massive changes.

Yes! And use a fresh pillowcase at least weekly, a lot of sweat and drool and other dirt's build up quick, if you have body acne, do the sheets and blankets more often too

Also, know that having your hands near/ in your mouth is a calming response. Think of a group of kindergartners listening to a scary story… where are their hands? Where do we put our hands when we’re concerned or thinking?

Stress, alone, may or may not cause acne, but our behavior with our hands certainly does.

When I stopped touching my face in my teens this drastically helped clear my acne up. Facial cleansers help but don't touch your face after! Great tip

It’s mostly a mix of genetics and diet. In particular, try to not eat dairy for a little while to see if your terrible (totally) acne clears up.
