Clean your skin gently. Use a mild facial wash in the morning, in the evening, and after heavy exercise. Rinse your skin with lukewarm water.

Shampoo your hair regularly, especially if you have oily hair.

Shave carefully & gently. Make sure the blade is sharp, and soften the hair with soap and water before applying shaving cream to reduce the risk of nicking blemishes.

Use sunscreen. Many of the medicines used to treat acne can make you more prone to sunburn.

Choose cosmetics carefully. All cosmetics and hair care products should be oil free. Choose products labeled non comedogenic.
