Steps to prevent acne

Although you can't prevent acne, there are steps you can take at home to keep acne from getting worse.

Gently wash and care for your skin every day. Avoid scrubbing too hard or washing too often. Avoid heavy sweating if you think it causes your acne to get worse. Wash soon after activities that cause you to sweat.

Wash your hair often if your hair is oily. Try to keep your hair off of your face.

Avoid hair care products such as gels, mousses, cream rinses, and pomades that contain a lot of oil.

Avoid touching your face.
Wear soft, cotton clothing or moleskin under sports equipment. Parts of equipment, such as chin straps, can rub your skin and make your acne worse.

Avoid exposure to oils and harsh chemicals, such as petroleum.  Protect your skin from too much sun.
