                   How to Avoid Pimples



                   Pimples can't be prevented without a routine skin care regimen.

                   Instructions



                       •  STEP 1: Wash face 2-3 times daily.
                       •  STEP 2: Use a gentle, water-soluble cleanser and tepid water.
                       •  STEP 3: Apply a medicated cream, such as benzoyl peroxide, to potential
                          problem areas.
                       •  STEP 4: Use non-comedogenic moisturizers and makeup.
                       •  STEP 5: Avoid overmoisturizing the skin. Use the lightest-weight moisturizer
                          necessary.
                       •  STEP 6: Use a mud mask once a week to clean out pores.
                       •  STEP 7: Try a medicated refining mask that cleanses and corrects problem skin.
                       •  STEP 8: Wash makeup brushes and sponges frequently to minimize dirt and
                          bacteria.

                       •  Keep hands and hair away from face.
                       •  Using too many medicated products may dry out skin.
