Gentle cleansing
Wash acne-prone skin twice daily with a gentle cleanser. Avoid harsh scrubbing and excessive washing.
Choose suitable products
Choose non-comedogenic moisturisers and sunscreen: products less likely to block pores. Remove make-up before bed.
Avoid picking
Picking and squeezing blemishes can increase inflammation and scarring. Consistent care and timely treatment help.
Food and habits
If you notice a clear relationship between a food and your acne, keep a record and discuss it with your clinician. Avoid starting highly restrictive diets on your own.
Prevention is not a guarantee
Daily care can help, but not every case of acne is preventable. Recurrent acne may require maintenance treatment.
