Health Tip: Minimize Acne
By LadyLively on December 26, 2014

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.
