Skin Care Acne Treatment

To treat acne caused by poor skin care habits do the following:

* Use skin care products labeled as “non-comedogenic” or “non-acnegenic”.

* Do not use skin care products with pore-clogging ingredients like beeswax, cocoa butter, coconut oil and shea butter on your face.

* Remove all makeup from your face before exercising and cleanse your face after exercising.

* Stop smoking cigarettes since they destroy the skin’s collagen which results in larger pores that retain more oil and are therefore more likely to get clogged.

* Refrain from squeezing pimples since this brings more bacteria to your face and forces infected material deeper into the skin. Instead of picking your pimples with your fingers, use a comedone extractor.

* Use non-comedogenic makeup like the following:
