Don't over-wash or use harsh scrubs. Acne is not caused by dirt. Two gentle washings a day is enough. Too much cleaning can leave skin irritated and dry, triggering glands to produce more oil, increasing the likelihood of pimples.
Use oil-free or noncomedogenic products (those that won't clog pores) on your face.

Don't squeeze or pick blemishes.
Popping pimples can drive acne bacteria deeper into the skin.

Never repeat these mistakes for pimple prevention.

Not trying an acne treatment long enough
Trying too many products at once
Choosing the wrong products for acne-prone skin
Waiting too long to see a dermatologist
Over-using or under-using a prescribed acne medication
Don't let acne define who you are.
Do what you can to improve your skin, working with a dermatologist, if necessary, and keep doing the things you enjoy.
