Acne Problems
Acne is a chronic skin disease common among teenagers and adults. It is normally caused by hormones that cause overproduction of oil in the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. It causes unattractive blemishes and pimples and can also be painful. Many factors, including stress, poor hygiene, hormonal imbalance, and germs, can aggravate acne.

Washing Your Face
When you are washing your face, use clean, warm water for the best results. Warm water helps open up the pores, making it easier to clean dirt and oil. You can use cool water if that is more comfortable for you. If you have long hair, it may be helpful to tie it back so you can more easily clean your forehead and hairline. When you are using a facial scrub, you only need a small amount. Put a fingertip’s worth of scrub into your palm and mix it with a little water. Use your fingertips to massage the scrub into your skin with a circular motion.

Start at the cheekbones and move toward the chin, then repeat the process on the forehead, continuing out toward the hairline and down across the nose. Massage each area of the face for one minute. The forehead, chin, cheeks, and nose are generally the oiliest parts of the face and have the most dead skin cells, so it is important to clean them well to prevent acne and blemishes. When you are done scrubbing all parts of your face, rinse thoroughly. Make sure to rinse off all scrub residues, and then pat your face dry with a clean towel. Dab on some facial moisturizer if needed.

Choosing a Product
Because facial scrub cleans the face so thoroughly, it is not necessary to use it every day. If you have oily skin, use a facial scrub about twice a week. If you have dry or sensitive skin, scrub once every two weeks. Try a few different types of scrubs to find one that works best for you, or consult a dermatologist to determine the ideal skin care regimen for your skin type. It is counterproductive to use a product that doesn’t target your needs. People with oily skin, for example, should not use a hydrating product, as it may further your skin problem.
