We all have heard of the phrase “Prevention is better than cure” and same applies to all sorts of skin issues. Acne is one of those issues that are best to prevent than to cure. It is better to take care of your skin before it suffers from something like acne because once it pops up, it is hard to get rid of it completely that soon. Here are some useful and simple tips for preventing acne.

The first thing you need to do to prevent acne is to keep you skin clean and healthy. Remember that acne breaks out in oily skin and the skin that has dead cells. This is why it is essential for you to keep your skin clean but do not wash it frequently. You can use scrubs to remove the layer of the dead cells from your skin. Moreover, if you are going to use any kind of make-up on your face then you should ensure that it does not have oil, as oils may spoil your skin and initiate the growth of acne.

Instead of a soap bar, you should try using face wash. You should also use more of the natural products rather than chemicals. The more chemicals you use on your face, the more they will destroy your skin. Besides these things, you also need to keep a check on your diet. Do not have more of the fatty items. You should increase the intake of water in your daily life. Water cleanses your body like nothing else. Using a neem pack can also help you keep a distance from acne and soothe down your skin tone.

Another thing that you should keep in mind is that improper sleep and stress can also cause acne. So, if you want to have beautiful skin then you have to be happy and free in whatever you do. Nevertheless, if still you get acne problem then do consult your dermatologist.

Very informative indeed! But with the current trend our women of today are having, getting much sleep and stress is somewhat almost impossible. I would rather add: to those who cant be away from lack-of-sleep-and-stress lives, why not subscribe to quality products that would supplement what you lacked. Like proper vitamins and food! You can also ensure to be out of this problem almost.

Foods or food supplements which are rich in vitamin C could help prevent acne...

Use topical treatments, such as Nature's Cure Vanishing Cream, anywhere that you tend to get breakouts -- don't just spot-treat existing pimples. The pore-clogging process happens two to three weeks before any blemish becomes visible on the skin.

I recommend Cetaphil face wash.

Cetaphil is a great face wash. I've been using Noxzema since I was in high school, and it still does an excellent job.

hi guys, i know acne is normal when adolescent stage comes. But for me i feel blessed because i don't have acne that much,maybe whenever my menstruation is in which is so pretty normal i have 1 or 2.

Ditto. Add increased water intake to that too.

Yes you are right prevention is better than cure. I have so many pimples right now. i think my skin is very sensitive.

I wash my face at least twice a day using a product that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide whenever I sweat, that way I could prevent the dirt from clogging my pores. Multivitamins can help because they contain Vitamin C and eating right amount of nutritious food and plenty of water can help prevent acne.

Also, certain foods can trigger acne, so it would help to watch your diet and take notice of what you ate shortly before breakouts. Determining and avoiding these trigger foods in the future would help to prevent acne as well.
