Use mild cleansers instead of soaps, soaps contain chemicals that damage the skin. Gentle cleansing would help in removing excess dirt, pollutants and oil.

2. Don’t prick pimples: Avoid continuously touching your face with your hands. Do not squeeze, rub and prick pimples, as this could lead to more acne breakouts.
3. Use mild astringents: Astringents should be used for only oily skin types. Astringents for dry skin types would worsen the skin condition and would also cause further irritation.
4. Use water based cosmetics: Some cosmetics which are oil based or comedogenic cosmetics can lead to acne breakouts or pimples. Oil based cosmetics worsen the skin condition; since oil based cosmetics contain fatty acids which cause harm to acne prone individuals. You should use water based cosmetics which are skin friendly and do not clog pores.

6. Change your meal content: Eat more nutritious and healthy food items. Eat substances which are rich in anti-oxidants, such as oranges. Fruits and vegetables help in slowing down the cell regeneration process.
7. Drink water: The amount of water that you drink has a direct affect on the skin. You should at least drink 14 glasses of water, to flush out the toxins. Reduce the intake of aerated drinks.
