1. Cleanse Gently (Twice Daily)
Over-washing can irritate skin and increase oil production.
2. Don’t Over-Exfoliate
Too many acids can damage your skin barrier.
3. Manage Stress
Stress hormones can increase oil production.
4. Watch Heavy Makeup
Non-comedogenic products are less likely to clog pores.
5. Don’t Pick
Picking spreads bacteria and increases scarring risk.
If you struggle with picking, a hydrocolloid patch acts as a physical reminder to leave it alone.
