Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. While it can be frustrating, there are several steps you can take to care for and manage acne. Here are some tips: Cleanse your skin gently: Use a mild, non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) cleanser to wash your face twice daily, once in the morning and once at night. Avoid harsh scrubs or cleansers that can irritate the skin and worsen acne.
