Daily Skincare Routine

• Cleanse gently twice daily with a mild cleanser.
• Use non-comedogenic products to avoid clogging pores.

Over-the-Counter Treatments

• Consider products with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to reduce bacteria and inflammation.

When to See a Dermatologist

Prescription Options

• A dermatologist may prescribe topical antibiotics, retinoids, or oral medications.

Lifestyle and Dietary Considerations

• Maintain a balanced diet, manage stress, and avoid known acne triggers.

Avoiding Common Mistakes
