• As much as possible, keep your hands away from your face. Squeezing blackheads and pimples can make them worse.
• Keep your hair off your face. Cut, tie, or comb it as you please, but don't let it add to your acne by spreading oil and bacteria.
• Avoid oily soaps, moisturizing creams, oily hair preparations, and all heavy makeup. If you use makeup, be sure to use natural water-based preparations.
• Be careful about the way you wash your face. Don't scrub too hard, because that can irritate your skin and make it more vulnerable to bacteria. Use a clean towel to dry your face, so as not to transfer bacteria from a used towel. And be sure that objects that come in contact with your face - like a telephone receiver - are clean.
• Drink at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Water helps the body flush out toxins and transport nutrients to the body. Drinking water puts less strain on the skin organ to flush out toxins.
• Supplement with acidophilus on a daily basis. Acidophilus will help fight against harmful bacteria from the inside out.
• Control your excess caloric intake. Scientific studies illustrate that excess caloric intake (the amount of daily calories consumed beyond those required to sustain your current body weight) can adversely affect your acne levels. Excess caloric intake triggers an anabolic process that can increase natural hormonal levels. Your testosterone level (a trigger for acne) can increase beyond their normal levels within your body.

Forbes, et al., "Hormonal Response to Overfeeding," Am. J. Clin. Nutr. 49.4 (1989) : 608-611).
• Exercise is good for your overall health. It will increase your blood circulation and bring more oxygen to major organs including the skin. Just make sure that you wash your face after an intense exercise session to remove any oil or sweat on your skin that may harbor bacteria.
