Highlights
Diet and Pimples00:00:11
A diet high in high glycemic foods such as refined carbohydrates like bread, pasta, and fries can worsen acne. Eating a healthy, balanced diet may help.
Pillowcase Hygiene00:00:40
Change your pillowcase frequently, ideally every day or every other day, to avoid buildup of dead skin cells, oil, and bacteria. Use cheap pillowcases and rotate them.
Face Washing Techniques00:01:22
Wash your face gently with a mild cleanser twice a day. Use lukewarm water, not hot water, and pat your skin dry with a soft, clean towel instead of rubbing.
Moisturizers00:01:51
After washing your face, use non-comedogenic moisturizers and cosmetics to avoid clogging pores and worsening acne.
Retinoids00:02:03
Retinoids can help reduce pore blockages and acne inflammation by increasing skin cell turnover. Be patient, as it may take 2-4 months to see the full effect.
