Prevention & Care
- Cleanse your skin gently twice daily
- Use non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) products
- Avoid touching or picking your face
- Remove makeup before bed
- Exfoliate 1–2 times a week
- Keep your skin hydrated
- Change pillowcases regularly
- Maintain a balanced diet and stay hydrated
