Acne can be a huge problem to deal with which is why it's best to look for ways to prevent it from occurring in the first place. The most common factors behind acne formation are oily skin and clogged pores. So, to ensure that you can keep acne at bay, you've got to ensure that your skin doesn't get too oily or greasy and that your pores remain unclogged. Wondering how exactly can you do that? Well, here are a few tips that will help. Take a look.

-Wash your face regularly. Even splashing some water on your face can ensure that your skin stays hydrated and you don't end up with clogged pores or super oily skin.

-Exfoliate your skin at regular intervals. Exfoliating helps get rid of dead skin cells and can play a major role in keeping your pores healthy and clean. Exfoliation also promotes blood circulation which can help keep your skin looking healthy.

-Change your towels at least once a week. You wipe off all the dirt and grime on your skin with these towels so to avoid bacteria accumulation on them, make sure that they're changed regularly and that you use fresh towels on your face.

-Remember to moisturise your skin (yes, even if you have oily skin) since moisturiser can help keep your skin soft and supple. If you avoid moisturising your skin, it will tend to produce oil to combat the dryness and this, in turn, will end up making your skin even oilier.

-Avoid touching your face constantly. During the day you end up touching a plethora of surfaces and these may be contaminated with bacteria and germs which get transferred to your hands. And then when you touch your face with those same hands, it can transfer the bacteria onto your face. So, no touching!
