Pimples

Keep your skin clean by gently washing your face two times daily and after sweating. Choose a mild and non-abrasive cleanser.
Use gentle alcohol-free skin care products. Avoid products that might irritate your skin such as exfoliants, astringents and toners.
Acne may also occur due to oil in the hair. Thus, if you have oily hair, shampoo more frequently than you do now and keep your hair away from face.
Keep your hands off your face as touching face throughout the day might worsen acne. Also, do not pick, squeeze or pop acne as it will prolong the healing process and increase the risk of dark spots and scarring.
Avoid tanning by applying a broad spectrum sunscreen and wearing sun-protective clothing when outdoors.
