But you know what’s even more annoying? The marks and scars that often remain after the actual acne has cleared.

Top 9 Tips For Preventing Breakouts. Before you purchase or use a moisturiser, check what your skin type is, and whether the product is suitable for you. When in doubt, stick to products that are non-comedogenic.

Exercising with makeup on will only further clog your pores, a big no-no if you’re wanting to avoid getting breakouts. Similar to a lack of sleep, high stress levels can induce an overproduction of cortisol which leads to breakouts. Most over the counter treatments contain either benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or sulfur which help to shed dead skin cells and manage the oil in your skin.
