Acne can develop due to causes from hormones to medications. To help prevent breakouts, it’s important to keep skin clean and healthy.

The Womenshealth.gov website offers these recommendations:

• Twice each day (and additionally after sweating), use a gentle cleanser on your face.
• Don’t use harsh soaps or rough scrubbing pads.
• Wash face from the hairline to below the jaw, and remember to wash your hair regularly and frequently if hair is oily.
• Avoid picking at your skin or acne lesions.
• Protect skin against sunburn.
• Avoid rubbing the skin with items such as backpacks.
• Talk to your doctor about treatment options if you struggle with acne.
