Top Five Tips to Cure and Prevent Acne

Ah, memories: I starkly remember my first pimple at the age of thirteen. It was on my chin, and I recall thinking that it was roughly the size of Mount Vesuvius. I was, to put it mildly, majorly upset about it. If only I had known then what I know now: that acne is a) inevitable but also b) preventable, in some cases. Alison Levine, a Westchester-based dermatologist, recently shared her top tips with me. Read on for her prevention strategies!

#1 Start treatment early.It's a good idea to begin using an acne product or regimen early on, even if you have just a few pimples. It's faster and easier to get control of your acne while it's still mild.

#2 Wash your face twice a day.Choose a product containing benzoyl peroxide, such as Proactiv, to wash after you wake up and before you go to bed.

#3 Treat your whole face.Most acne medicines are meant to be applied to the entire face, not only the pimples. The medication works to treat existing pimples as well as to prevent new ones.

#4 Stick to it.Acne is a common part of adolescence and may hang around for many years. So find a product that works, and stick with it, even after your skin clears up.

#5 Know when to ask for help.If your acne is scarring or simply not improving after six to eight weeks of starting treatment, you should see a dermatologist, a physician who specializes in treating skin problems.
