Here are9 acne DON'Tsto help prevent pimples.

1) Don't Over Cleanse or Over Scrub

Don't over cleanse or over scrub. As tempting as it is to achieve that squeaky clean feeling with your cleanser, the over cleansing effect can dry out your skin causing your oil glands to work overdrive to compensate for the dryness.

The harsh over scrubbing effect may cause too much pressure to your skin as it gets overly irritated and inflamed with constant harsh rubbing.

2) Don't Use Benzoyl Peroxide

Avoid benzoyl peroxide. It can dehydrate your skin, increase free radical damage and lead to premature aging. This popular anti-acne chemical has anti-pimple effects but it also is a proven strong irritant and allergen to your skin which can actually increase the inflammation and obstruct the natural healing process of your skin.

3) Don't Pile on the Makeup Foundations & Concealers

Wear a concealer where needed and put on foundation only for necessary occasions. Use oil-blotting papers to absorb the excess shine during the day. Remove any makeup off your skin immediately when you get home.

4) Don't Sunbath

We all know the devastating cancer causing and pre-mature aging effects of the sun. Sunbathing can also lead to an increase in acne. Your skin's oil production goes into overdrive when you expose yourself to the sun for long periods. If you are going to be visiting the beach, make sure 2 nights before, you exfoliate and deep cleanse your pores so that the oil will flow out freely when you are sun bathing.

5) Don't touch your pimples and your face if you can avoid

Mature acne lesions contain large amounts of bacteria. By picking at the lesions and touching other areas of your face, you are prone to spreading the bacteria and causing more pimples. Make sure that if you are going to be extracting the pus / comedone, to do it with sterile equipment and to thoroughly cleanse your hands afterwards.
