You can ease the presence of acne by giving daily consistent cleansing and care to your skin. Because acne is caused by blockages in the follicles of facial skin and the overproduction of sebum which clogs the sebaceous glands, this is largely a genetic or hormonal problem that often fades away as you reach your twenties. You can follow these steps to prevent blemishes and reduce the chance of breakouts on your face.

The first step to beautiful skin is to wash your face every morning as soon as you wake up. This is important because throughout the night while you are sleeping, your skin release oils. Not only will washing your face make you feel refreshed and wake you up a little bit, but it will wash away oils, leaving your face fresh and clean. Do not use normal soap or hand soap to wash your face because this will dry your skin out. Use a face wash like Olay Acne Control Face Wash. This face wash will eliminate acne blemishes and prevent future breakouts.

Next, use a facial scrub like Olay Blackhead Clearing Scrub which will make your skin appear softer as its salicylic acid treatment eliminates and prevents blackheads. Pat your face dry with a towel.

Use Olay 2-in-1 Daily Facial Cloths for Combination Oily Skin. Wet the cloth and rub it around in your hands in order to build up lather. Use the smooth side of the cloth first to wipe your entire face, paying close attention to your problem areas and the areas in which you applied makeup. Then flip the cloth over and use the textured side to exfoliate your face. Dry and dead skin cells will be smoothed away, leaving healthy skin underneath. Rinse your face and pat dry.
