Wash your face regularly

Don't scrub it but use a daily acne cleanser. Acne results from oils getting trapped in the follicle of the hair and builds up an infection that creates pus.

Acne takes time to remove

If your acne is really bad, its best to see a dermatologist. You can try over the counter products as well.

Acne starts from bacteria getting trapped in the follicle of the hair. The natural oil doesn't float to the surface and bacteria forms creating black or whiteheads. You probably heard the terms pores, zits, and pimples. That is basically what happens when the skin becomes irritated.

The rule of thumb is to watch what you eat. Oily foods like hamburgers, french fries, and pretty much anything cooked in animal fat is a cause of acne. Also, you should use a face wash and use a daily cleanser regularly.

You can treat acne with medications that go under different names like Differin, Brevoxyl, Accutane, Retin-A and others.
