Wash Pillowcases

Along with washing hands and sanitizing phones, individuals should be sure to keep pillowcases and sheets clean as these may also transfer bacteria to the body. Bacteria are redeployed from the skin to pillowcases and sheets every night at bedtime. While it helps to wash one's face at night before going to bed, the bacteria from previous nights are still on the pillowcase. Those who deal with acne continuously should be sure to wash their pillowcases and sheets at least once a week, often more than that for the cases to be on the safe side.

Use Products That Don't Clog Pores

Look for skincare products that are non-comedogenic, which is the term used to mean they will not clog pores. Clogged pores are a common cause of acne outbreaks. Oil-free products are also available to make sure pores remain unclogged. Oil quickly gets trapped in the pores and causes an acne breakout, which is why individuals with oily skin are more prone to acne. It is often worth it to switch out any skincare products with added oils or those without the label 'non-comedogenic' to keep skin blemish-free all year round.
