Blaming Yourself
Don’t blame yourself for something you didn’t do!!! You can’t cause your acne because the only important factor that really “helps” you to have acne is your genes. So, instead of blaming yourself, try to find an acne treatment that works for you.
2. Squeezing Pimples
As hard as it may be, don’t pick at your skin when you have acne. I know it’s very tempting to pop the zit and make it go away, but this is not the solution. Constant picking and forceful squeezing a pimple will definitely do more harm to your skin. So stop it!
Scrubbing Your Skin
Constantly using really abrasive exfoliating pads and too much cleansing is NOT a good idea. Vigorous scrubbing can irritate the pimples and aggravate inflammation. However, gentle scrubbing your skin is usually okay, as are soft facial brushes and washcloths.
