Clean Skin Gently....
Most doctors recommend that people with acne gently wash their skin with a mild cleanser, once in the morning and once in the evening and after heavy exercise.
Some people with acne may try to stop outbreaks and oil production by scrubbing their skin and using strong detergent soaps and rough scrub pads.
However, scrubbing will not improve acne; in fact, it can make the problem worse.
Acne patients should ask their doctor or another health professional for advice on the best type of cleanser to use.
Acne patients should wash their face from under the jaw to the hairline. It is important that patients thoroughly rinse their skin after washing it.
Astringents are not recommended unless the skin is very oily, and then they should be used only on oily spots.
Doctors also recommend that patients regularly shampoo their hair.
Those with oily hair may want to shampoo it every day.
