Good washing: Good hygiene...Good hand and face washing. When face is oily and astringent and benzoyl peroxide will help. If acne is bad see your doctor there are many good medicines.

No picking allowed!: Picking or popping zits leads to further inflammation of the skin and increases the risk of scarring. If you are able to see a dermatologist, please do! a dermatologist can prescribe medications (including topical therapies and antibiotics) and non-invasive in-office therapies (such as laser and light treatments) that will reduce your acne and treat any resultant scars.
