7 Daily Acne Prevention Tips
Acne treatment medications can clear up acne - but only if you use
them! The way you apply topical acne treatment medications can affect
how well your acne treatment will work. Acne is often referred to as
"Zits" or "pimples". Zit prevention tips and pimple treatment tips are
the same as acne prevention tips and will work just as effectively. The
following tips will help you get the most from your topical acne
treatment medications.
- Acne Prevention Tip #1 Keep Your Acne Treatment Medication Where You Will See It
- Put your medication out in plain view. If you see it, you are more
likely to use it. Put it by your toothbrush, beside your bed, or even
in the kitchen. Anywhere you will consistently see it is the perfect
place.
- Acne Prevention Tip #2 Wait After Washing - Wait fifteen
minutes or so after washing your face before applying your acne
treatment medication. Your medication will be more effective if applied
on a dry face. Even if you pat your face dry with a towel, wait a few
minutes for some air-drying time.
- Acne Prevention Tip #3 Use Your Acne Treatment Medication as Directed
- Do not use more acne treatment medication than directed thinking that
it will work faster. If your acne treatment medication says to apply it
twice a day, then apply it twice a day. Using medications as directed
increases the effectiveness and decreases the possibility of side
effects.
- Acne Prevention Tip #4 Apply Acne Treatment Medications to the Entire Area
- Do not just put a little dab on the center of a blemish. Apply
medications to the entire area prone to acne to maximize effectiveness.

- Acne Prevention Tip #5 Thin Applications Are Better Than Thick Globs
- Several thin applications delivers a more effective concentration of
the medication than one giant glob. A glob will dry and fall off. A
think application will stay put.
- Acne Prevention Tip #6 Stop if You Experience Itching, Stinging, Peeling, Redness, or Dry Skin
- This means you have irritated skin. Make sure you are using a mild
acne cleanser that does not have alcohol as an ingredient. Stop using
any lotions with alpha-hydroxy acid or salicylic acid. Stop using
toners and masks. Do not exfoliate and make sure you are using your
acne treatment medication as directed. For more information about Pimple Treatment Tips
- Acne Prevention Tip #7 Do Not Expect Your Acne to Clear Up Overnight
- Acne treatment medication does work if you give it time. It can take
six to eight weeks to see an improvement. Depending on the severity of
your acne, it can take months to see a difference.
