Most people wash their face on a daily basis. Those suffering from acne might be a little more conscious about it because it makes sense that a clean face is one of the first steps in acne treatment.

One of the most common causes (or at least an aggravating factor) of acne in women is their choice of makeup. Many brands of makeup contain oils that clog pores and make existing acne worse.

Also, makeup can contain other ingredients that you might be slightly allergic to and so can cause inflammation. If you are using a non-oily makeup but still don't see any improvements, you might just try a different brand. (more...)

One of the main causes of acne is toxins floating around in your system. The easiest way to get rid of these toxins is to flush them out by drinking plenty of water. Drink as much as a gallon of water a day. You should be peeing a lot and your pee should be clear.

As an adolescent I had fairly bad body acne on my back. Now, as an adult, it seems to have migrated down to my buttocks and thighs, although it's not nearly as bad. There's one thing I've noticed that helps with this.

After showering (during which you of course washed your acne-prone areas) I towel dry thoroughly, but then I air dry for several minutes before dressing. This way when I put my clothes on my skin is completely dry. I'm not sure why, but dressing while still damp seems for me at least to aggravate my body acne. Hope this helps!
