Get plenty of sleep
Not getting enough sleep may also cause your skin to break out more often.
According to a 2015 study, more than 65 percent of the study’s participants who said they felt tired also had acne.
The study’s authors theorized that a lack of sleep could, in some instances, cause the body to release inflammatory compounds. These compounds could cause the skin to break out or worsen acne.
To stay healthy both on the inside and out, aim for seven to nine hours of quality sleep each night.
Choose makeup that won’t clog your pores
A found people who use cosmetics seem to be more likely to have skin breakouts. To ensure your makeup routine is skin-friendly, be sure to:
Use products labeled “noncomedogenic” or “oil-free.”
Always wash your hands before applying makeup or skin care products.
Always remove your makeup before going to sleep or exercising.
Wash makeup brushes and sponges on a weekly basis.
Makeup can cause its own form of acne that doctors call acne cosmetica. This condition causes small, raised bumps that usually appear on the chin, cheeks, or forehead.
