Okay just a few questions on your background first, do you find you have oily skin when you wake up in the morning? Does your family have a history of acne?
If you find you are oily, don't over cleanse your face. Wash it once in the morning and once before you head to bed. Don't use soap as it will strip your protective barrier on your skin (known as the acid mantle) try a face cleanser designed for sensitive skin. Over cleansing your face will trick your sebaceous (oil) glands by thinking they need to produce more oil on a more regular basis which leads to excessive oiliness of the skin and more breakouts. Please make sure to use a toner or astringent after cleansing to re-balance the pH of your skin.
Try to keep your hands away from your face as well. This will stop the spread of the bacteria from your hands and/or fingernails to go on your face.
As hard as it is, try not to pop your pimples. This can lead to scarring and more pimples because you are spreading the bacteria over into new hair follicles and pores which clogs them up.
Try a deep pore facial at a local spa. if you find it getting excessively bad, see a dermatologist.
I've always head and read that acne comes from clogged pores.
I've also had success using toner for acne. Toner has alcohol
in it and from what I understand the alcohol will dry your skin and reduce oil, which is supposed to help prevent the oil from clogging your pores.
Toner is very affordable and can be found at any drug store.
