You try your best not to touch but end up touching it; you wash your face frequently, as much as you can despite maintaining a proper hygiene. By now I am sure you must know what I am talking about? Yes! You are right it is acne! Listed below are some of the things you must never do, if you have acne, so that they don’t trouble you and vanish as soon as they erupt.
Squeeze: One thing you must never do, to get a pimple off your face is to squeeze it. Because squeezing a pimple, either by your fingernails or by an instrument, is only going to aggravate it and worsen the condition. And this can also lead to the development of long term scars on the skin. It is advisable that you never squeeze your pimple. Let it heal by itself, this will prevent inflammation as well as scarring.
Don’t touch your face: You touch the coffee mug, your phone, bus handle, burger, dirty button of the lift and many more things in a day, then with the same hands you accidently touch your face. Avoid touching the face as much as you can, because every time you touch your face after having got your hands dirtied, you’re transferring dirt onto your skin. Touching face with dirty hands can clog the pores of your skin with bacteria and oil leading to more acne breakouts.
Make up: Those with acne, must be extra cautious while applying makeup on their skin. Makeup blocks the skin pores not allowing the skin to breathe; this can make the acne worse by causing irritation or rashes. It is advisable to use non comedogenic and oil free makeup products which help avoid pore blockage. It is also necessary to remove your makeup whenever applied with cleanser and wash your face regularly to remove, sweat, oil and dirt.
Repeated face washing: 
There is a misconception that acne can be treated faster by washing and cleaning your face more than twice a day. On the contrary, repeated face wash is not beneficial. Over washing of face can take away the essential oils that the skin needs. It is recommended that you wash your face twice a day, and not overdo it.
Ignoring Acne Treatment: For some people pimples come and go but for those suffering from severe acne problem, treatment is a must. Many people don’t treat their problem till it gets worse. Generally mild acne can be treated with over the counter ointments which are easily available. Severe acne needs special attention, you must consult a skin specialist who can diagnose the cause. With the help of proper medication and treatment, the problem can be controlled. Also, it is important to follow the treatment, as results vary from person to person.
Remember to take care of the above things and help yourself to manage your acne problem in a better way!
