Clean well
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to clean your face of dead skin cells, impurities, and excess oiliness but not to strip it so much as to upset the balance of moisture in the skin. Look for antibacterial soaps with benzoyl peroxide and washes containing alpha hydroxy acids since the use of these together will cut down oil in cells and reduce the chance of infection.

Numerous products are available in drugstores with these ingredients, but they can be priced very differently. The amount of money you spend doesn't determine how helpful a product will be. A les expensive product can be just as effective as a high-price item if it has the same ingredients as a name brand.

Be Mr. Natural
Soaps with glycerine, cucumber, witch hazel, or citrus acids can help keep your skin healthy. I like natural ingredients in skin-care products.

Soaps made with these ingredients can be found in drugstores as well as the natural beauty product stores, such as The Body Shop and Body Works that have sprung up in many shopping malls.

Tone your face
After you wash your face, try using a toner - an alcohol-based product that you apply with a cotton ball. It is very important to use a toner or astringent after you cleanse because that will reduce the amount of soap left on your skin and further reduce the chance of infection. Once again, he recommends toners with natural ingredients, particularly cucumber, with hazel, or citrus acids. You can find these products in most stores that sell cosmetics.
