Apply toner.

A toner helps removes traces of the stubborn dirt, and helps moisturize the skin, too. Use an alcohol-free toner for a much gentler cleanse.

Don’t forget the moisturizer!

The common mistake of most girls is that they skip the moisturizer during a breakout, but not applying moisturizer can dry your skin causing it to produce more oils! So even during acne season never forget to dab on moisturizer on your face, and your neck.

Use an acne spot treatment.

Bid your acne goodbye faster by using an acne spot treatment. Apply the treatment a few minutes after moisturizing your face to avoid irritation caused by the different formulas of the moisturizers and the acne treatments.

Change your pillowcases weekly!

Pillowcases are usually the main culprit of breakouts. So protect your face from dirt by changing your pillowcases every week.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

Hydrating your skin from the outside by applying tons of moisturizer on your face will never be enough to prevent acne. You have to hydrate your skin from within, too by drinking at least eight glasses of water everyday.
