Acne is caused by bacteria and is still incurable there are
a few acne prevention methods that can be used to help eliminate and
subdue some of your breakouts.
Avoid leaning
or rubbing your skin (your skin is very sensitive, and
oil/dirt from your fingers or other surfaces can leave sebum
residue on your face causing more acne). Always try and keep
fresh bed sheets (especially pillow cases). Pressure from
bike helmets, backpacks, tight collars (business suits,
uniforms) will also cause constant friction and can result
in an acne breakout or flare up. And most importantly,
squeezing and picking of your blemishes can cause them to
get inflamed or even spread more bacteria from your fingers
onto your skin. So while it’s tempting, avoid popping zits
at all costs, and if you must please wash your hands
thoroughly or use toilet paper and wrap it around your
finger tips.
