1. **Cleanse your face regularly:** Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and excess oil. Avoid over-washing, as it can dry out your skin and increase oil production.
2. **Use an exfoliant:** Gently exfoliate once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores. Choose a product suited to your skin type.
3. **Apply products with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide:** These ingredients help clean out pores and reduce inflammation. Salicylic acid also helps to exfoliate the skin.
4. **Keep your skin moisturized:** Use an oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without making it greasy.
5. **Avoid touching your face:** Try not to touch your face too often to prevent transferring dirt and bacteria from your hands to your skin.
