As mentioned previously, one of the best ways to get rid of acne is to go makeup-free for several weeks to allow the skin to breathe. If makeup is a must, individuals must be sure to keep brushes clean. Some go weeks or even years without replacing their brushes. But just imagine how much bacteria has accumulated on those brushes and is applied directly to the skin! Individuals should make it a point of cleaning their makeup brushes and other tools at least once a week with soap and water or a special solution. While there isn't an exact time for brushes to be replaced, it is crucial to do so regularly, as even good washing habits will not work forever.

Sanitizing cell phones and anything that regularly touches the face is an important part of keeping acne away. Think about how many germs a mobile phone contains. Phones are constantly being handled and set down on many different types of surfaces, including restaurant tables, bathroom counters, desks, and counters in retail stores. Individuals often also let others handle their phones, and who knows if they wash their hands regularly or not! Phones often accumulate bacteria that are easily transferred to the face. Individuals should keep antibacterial wipes handy and wipe down their phone before talking on it. They should also be sure to wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their face too much.
