Acne is difficult to control, but here are some tips to help you prevent pimples:
* Clean your phone – this is an acne tip you probably haven’t thought of, but your home phone, your cell phone, your office phone, they all collect bacteria from your face or, eww, other people’s faces, so wipe the receiver down daily to prevent transferring germs to your acne prone skin
* Shampoo more frequently – oily hair can flair up your skin, not to mention the hair products you use. You may even want to wear your hair away from your face and part with those bangs.
* Makeup – give your skin a break and go without it whenever you can. Also, be sure to wash off your makeup before bed, and get rid of old makeup, which can have bacteria. Consider switching to a good-quality mineral makeup, one without artificial colors or preservatives.
