Acne is not fun. It is embarrassing, and unsightly. People spend millions of dollars every year trying to clear their skin. Little do they know, that they might be doing something wrong and essentially, making their acne worse. I have tried literally hundreds of different products and systems trying to find the best acne cure. I found it, and I am here to give some advice on how to get rid of your pimples.

Zits are caused by pores being clogged by oils, grease, dirt, bacteria, and other environmental toxins. You need to remove all of these in order to effectively clear your skin. There are some ways that work great, and there are some that do not work at all. How are you supposed to know what to do when trying to find the acne cure that works for you? Here are two things you should do, and two things you shouldn't do.

Should Do:

1. Keep Your Face Clean
You hear it a thousand times, but a clean face is the first step to clearing your skin. But there are many different soaps and cleansers out there, how do you choose the right one? You want to make sure there are no fragrances in the soap. Fragrances have oils and alcohols in them that can clog pores and make your acne worse. Also you want a gentle cleanser. Try to find a soap that is pH balanced for your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, do not get a soap formulated for oily skin. Wash your face twice daily; once when you wake up, and once when you go to bed. This is not too often that it will dry your skin out, but frequent enough to keep the dirt, bacteria, etc. off.

2. Eat Healthier
Believe it or not, the food you eat does have an effect on your complexion. Try to eat fruits, vegetables, fish, and grains. These will give you the essential vitamins you need to sustain healthier skin. Fried foods, and generally "unhealthy" foods are going to cause more breakouts.

Should Not Do:

1. Touch Your Face
Think of everything you touch everyday. Now think that every time you touch anything, germs and bacteria are transferred to your hands. Now, when you touch your face, these germs and bacteria are transferred to your face. If you want to find the perfect acne cure, you are going to have to stop touching your face first.

2. Use Harsh Chemicals
I have written before, that I used to go out to try to find the astringent with the highest salicylic acid content. What this was doing was overly drying my skin and causing more breakouts. If you want to clear your skin, find something that naturally kills germs and bacteria. The less chemicals you use on your face, the better.
