* Make sure you wash your pillow case at least once a week. Dirty pillowcases breed bacteria, which can lead to pimples.
* Do not venture in areas with heavy, greasy air such as restaurant or fast food kitchens and even subway tunnels.
* Drink at least one and half liters of water everyday as it keeps your skin hydrated and healthy.
* Indulge in any sweat inducing activity for at least 30 minutes a day, such as running, dancing, sports, aerobics, etc. Sweating unclogs your pores and enhances your complexion.
* Change sweaty clothes as soon as possible, drying off your body with a clean towel.
* Wash your face twice a day, ideally once in the morning and once at night. Use a mild cleanser, which is gentle on your acne and skin in general.
* If your skin is oily, consider adding a toner to your routine. However, avoid astringents as they can actually make your skin worse.
* Moisturize your skin daily by oil-free moisturizer, formulated specially for the face. Avoid heavy and thick creams.
* Exfoliate your skin once a week for normal skin and 2-3 times a week for oily skin. This will reduce black heads, thereby refreshing it.
* Apply a relaxing mask once a week to give skin extra vitality.
* Use standard cosmetics, which suit your skin. While applying foundation, use a clean applicator or your fingers to blend it.
* Make sure you remove your make up and apply a night cream while going to bed in the night. This will enable your skin to breathe.
