   Yes, it is ok to moisturize at night too. Acne requires a multi-faceted approach. If you have acne clean your skin gently, try not to touch your skin when your hands are not clean, and avoid the sun.

   The three basics of acne treatment are to (1) unclog pores, (2) kill bacteria, and (3) minimize oil. Use mild exfoliating cleansers to unclog your pores. Use benzoyl peroxide to kill the bacteria. Get rid of oil on the surface of your skin by using a gentle toner. Generally drug store brands will do each of these things well. You don’t need to spend a fortune.

   These are all good basic skin regimens that may help with the acne battle:

   Cleanse twice daily with a 5% benzoyl peroxide wash. An alternative for those who are allergic to benzoyl peroxide is 2% salicylic acid.

   Apply a gel or cream containing 5% benzoyl peroxide; an alternative is sulfur or resorcinol.

   At night, apply a spot cream containing sulfur to the affected areas.

   Use a light skin moisturizer and oil-free makeup.

   If you try all these approaches and it still does not seem to work, it is time to consult your doctor. You may need a prescription medication approach to deal with your acne.

   And read the information at these sites. You may find other ideas that will help you.

   The application that you did for your acne skin are fine. It is okay however, we are just using different products. Usually acne face products may vary depending on the type of skin that you have. If you think that the regimen that you are practicing isn’t working, then you better look for another acne product that is suitable for your skin type. Make sure that it is 100% natural.

   No matter what age you are, acne can be embarrassing–especially when it happens during adult years. After all, you probably thought that the acne would stop when you left puberty and here you are, dealing with spots and bumps all over again. Fortunately, there are some effective home treatments for acne, such as those that follow.

   To help keep your skin clean and clear of dead skin cells, try using an exfoliant. By applying this to your face daily, you can help to clean out the oil and dead cells that get trapped in your pores, which then causes blackheads to appear. Inflamed blackheads can turn into red pimples. So to stop this problem from spreading, it helps to use an exfoliant. You can either buy an exfoliating product at the store or make a simple and effective one at home. Try applying a mixture of oatmeal, molasses, and olive oil to your skin. Your acne can be cleared up by keeping your face clean between treatments.

   No matter what acne treatments you are using, it’s important to keep the face as clean as possible.

   You should avoid harsh chemicals which can contribute to the problem as well as wash your face on a regular basis. It is a good idea to use soaps that are unscented and natural. Use makeup, cologne, and perfumes minimally as the chemicals in these products can cause a bad reaction on your skin. It may be a good idea to avoid makeup entirely when dealing with an acne problem. When you keep your skin clean and don’t expose it to harmful chemicals, your acne will clear up faster.

   A common mistake many people make is to pick at their acne or squeeze their pimples. The fact is, this actually makes the condition worse, as this often creates more infections and causes sebum to spread, which creates more pimples. That’s how you can go from having one or two pimples to lots more, by picking at them or breaking them. You need to avoid touching your pimples in addition to your other acne treatments. Your acne will disappear faster if you can avoid touching the pimples. Acne is a common skin condition that effects most people at some point in their lives. Eating a healthy diet, practicing good hygiene, and following the previous suggestions you can help get rid of acne. Remember to be patient, as well, as acne treatments can take several weeks to work.
