Gentle Skin Care
Using gentle skin care products and avoiding harsh scrubs can prevent irritation and future breakouts. Opt for non-comedogenic products that won't clog pores, and wash your face with mild cleansers rather than soap.
Avoid Picking
Picking at acne can worsen the condition and lead to scarring. It's best to leave blemishes alone and let treatments do their work. Picking can cause additional trauma to the skin, which may lead to more acne formation.
Diet Considerations
While the role of diet in acne is still debated, some studies suggest that high glycemic load diets and increased milk consumption may be linked to acne. If you're motivated, consider reducing milk intake and keeping a balanced diet.
