The best acne control is a skin care routine. In order to clear up acne and prevent future breakouts a person needs to develop a skin care routine that can get to the root of the problem. A person should look at their skin care routine as a process. They need to first develop a routine and then follow it daily.

The first step in a skin care routine should be cleansing the skin. It is recommended to clean the skin twice a day, usually morning and night. The cleanser can be store bought or homemade. Any store bought cleanser should be a mild formula without fragrance or other irritating additives. The more pure the product, the less chance it will irritate skin, which can cause acne.

The next step in a cleansing routine should be exfoliating. Exfoliating is an important step because acne is caused by debris building up in pores. Most of the debris is dead skin cells. Exfoliating helps to get rid of dead skin cells. Exfoliating may seem to be rough on the skin, but it is actually very beneficial. A person should use a fine exfoliant. Baking soda or brown sugar are two very good natural exfoliants.

Try and eat plenty of fruit, plus ensure that you hace the correct multivitamins, whether it be through your food or in tablet form.

Try and limit your intake of coffee and if you are a smoker please try and cut down. If possible try and stop, but I know how hard that can be. But it will be worth it.

A simple tip to implement immediately is to drink plenty of water, if you are not doing this already. The recommended daily intake is six to eight glasses per day. It will hydrate your skin and keep in great condition. In addition it helps to remove the build up of toxins in your body and that benefits you in overall health
