Hygiene Measures:

You may be unintentionally harming your skin in many ways. Follow these measures for flawless skin.

- Get into the habit of washing pillowcases regularly. If doing it daily is too much for you, do it once a week. The oils on your pillowcases are in constant contact with your face for 6 to 8 hours every night. This is a major cause of the formation of pesky acnes. Keep a few pillowcases handy for the times when immediate laundry is not possible.
- Wash your face at least twice a day. Make sure to wash your hands before washing your face. Pat dry your face with a clean towel instead of rubbing it. Always tone and moisturize your face after a wash. Choose a suitable moisturizer depending on your skin type.

- Remove all traces of makeup before going to bed every night, no matter how tired you are. Makeup that stays on your face can clog pores.

- Exposure to direct sunlight forms acne. Use a sunscreen at all times, even when you step out in the sun for a short while.

- No matter how tempting it is, do not pop your acne. Popping your acne does no good to your skin; instead it heightens the harm to your pores and leaves you with acne scars.
