Tired of that pimple popping out every time you're getting ready for a party? Fed up of having to deal with acne when you've got an amazing date? Well, you're not alone ladies. Acne can turn into a huge issue if you don't deal with it at the right time and in the right way. Not only does it leave scars, but it can also be painful and can cause significant damage to your skin. And that's why there are certain dos and don'ts when it comes to keeping acne at bay. Check out what they are.

Do - Leave your skin alone
The number one rule of skincare is that you do NOT touch your face constantly. Don't touch your pimples, don't scratch them and do not burst them. This will not only be a painful experience but will also leave scars on your face. So, touching is a big no-no.

Don't - Use harsh products
Using harsh products like lime juice and DIY scrubs will only make things worse for your skin. Instead, opt for something more targetted towards acne, like salicylic acid. It can help reduce inflammation while also gently exfoliating your skin.

Do - Keep your skin clean
Acne is usually caused due to clogged pores. One way to ensure that your pores don't get clogged is to clean your skin properly. Use a mild face wash at least twice a day and carry face mist with you so that you can just spritz some of it on your face from time to time. It'll help keep your skin clean and clear.

Don't - Ignore your makeup tools
If you don't clean your makeup tools regularly, they can end up transferring bacteria to your skin which then leads to acne. So, make sure to wash all your makeup tools at least once a week.
