Caring for your skin with acne

If you have acne, it's important to gently clean the skin, particularly on the face.
The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases offers these suggestions:
Wash your face regularly -- in the morning when you wake up, before you go to bed and always after you've exercised or sweated heavily.
Be sure to wash your entire face -- including past the jaw and all the way up to the hairline.
Use only a mild face wash. Ask your dermatologist or doctor what is best for your skin.
Avoid using a harsh soap or astringent on your face, and don't scrub the skin.
Wash your hair frequently. If you have oily hair, you may want to wash it daily.
