Tips:

Sometimes we become too conscious about our skin care and repetitively cleanse and scrub our bodies This results in blemishes.So instead of too much cleaning, it is better to use a gentle and mild cleanser everyday.
Day makeup should always be simple and light.
You can choose an acne pad,to remove excessive oil and dirt.
If the skin is blemished, cleanse and moisturise the dry areas.
Do not ever start experimenting with 4-5 products thinking that some magic will happen over night.
Stressing your face will only make your skin prone to acne,as the oil glands will become more active and send more oil to the surface.
Use broad spectrum UVB/UVA chemical sunscreen with SPF 30 to protect your skin.Do not forget to apply the sunscreen after every 2-3 hours as the sunscreen effects last only for a limited period of time.
