  1. Don’t let sweat dry on your skin—shower promptly!

When exercising and maintaining a health routine, sweat production increases. To prevent acne, take a shower as soon as possible after working out.

  1. Exfoliate!

Incorporate exfoliating scrubs into your skincare regimen. They help remove sweat, dirt, and other impurities that clog pores, as well as dead skin cells.

  1. Wear breathable clothing

Tight fabrics can irritate your skin. Opt for breathable outfits to stay comfortable and prevent skin issues.

  1. Keep hair off your back!

Long hair can transfer dirt to your back, leading to acne. Keep it off your back to avoid breakouts.

  1. Choose your skincare products wisely

Be mindful of the ingredients in your skincare products. Select those designed for acne-prone skin, such as those containing salicylic acid, tea tree oil, or white willow bark.

  1. Stay hydrated!

Healthy skin is hydrated skin. Increase your water intake to support immune function and flush out acne-causing bacteria.

  1. Include anti-inflammatory and antioxidant foods in your diet

Foods like berries, whole grains, beans, and certain nuts can reduce acne by decreasing inflammation.

  1. Avoid popping pimples

Resist the urge to touch or pop your zits, as it can cause scarring or infections. Consult a dermatologist for a topical spray if itching is severe.

  1. Use non-comedogenic SPF

While the sun provides vitamin D, it’s crucial to protect your skin with SPF. Choose a non-comedogenic SPF to avoid clogging pores.

  1. Add zinc and low-GI foods to your diet

Foods rich in zinc, like spinach, oysters, pumpkin seeds, and wheat germ, can reduce acne inflammation and balance the skin barrier. Low glycemic index (GI) foods, such as fruits and vegetables, can also help reduce acne.
