Acne breakouts are not just a teen thing. Most adults still get them. Breakouts may occur due to clogged pores, over-oil, stress, diet, hormones, or the wrong products.

The best part? With the proper skincare routines and several smart adjustments, you can prevent acne from ever returning again. This book will guide you through simple, effective steps to maintain your skin as clear and healthy as can be.

1. Gently wash your skin twice a day.

One of the largest errors individuals commit is over-washing or the use of harsh cleansers. This will deplete your skin of its natural oils, dry up your skin, and create even more acne.

Use a gentle cleanser that removes dirt, oil, and pollution without drying out your skin. A gentle, light formula cleans your pores and is ideal for sensitive skin with acne.

2. Include a Hydrating Toner with Acne-Busting Properties

A toner evens out your complexion after washing your face and shuts your pores. Use a toner hyaluronic acid, something that moisturizes your skin and helps soothe redness. Moisturized skin heals faster, and hyaluronic acid provides that moisturizing kick without a pore-clog.

Also look for ingredients such as mulberry, green tea, or Indian lotus in your toner. These will calm acne and reduce redness.

3. Use Natural Skincare Products

Your skin doesn’t require fancy regimens or chemical-laden products. More often than not, plant-based ingredients with soothing properties in natural skincare products can treat and prevent acne smarter and safer.

Choose products that are alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and non-comedogenic (i.e., will not clog your pores).

4. Avoid squeezing or popping pimples.

You may want to squeeze or touch your pimples, but you will spread germs, make them swell, and even scar your skin. Treat your skin gently and spare the breakouts.

Rather than squeezing, apply soothing products that bring down the swelling and allow the breakout to heal naturally. A rolled-up cloth placed over ice cubes can bring down the swelling, and natural ingredient spot treatments such as tea tree or niacinamide can heal.

5. Keep an eye on Your Lifestyle

It is not about skin care alone. Your daily lifestyle matters as well.

Follow these simple tips:

• Drink plenty of water to keep your skin moist.
• Consume more whole foods, fruits, and vegetables.
• Sleep for 7–8 hours per night.
• Avoid stress when possible—it can trigger breakouts.
• Replace pillowcases and towels frequently.
• Healthy skin starts in your body!
