how to prevent pimples?

First, I want to assure you chocolate doesn't cause pimples. That's a myth I think a lot of people still believe. What you can do is drink A LOT of water. The more water you drink, the better your skin will look. Also, if you have oily skin, make sure you wash your face with cleanser that is made for oily skin. Men and women alike should wash their faces to prevent blemishes. A lot of men think it is silly. Also, once a week use a mask you can buy at a store. Some are for pore cleansing, and that is a good one to use. But don't use it more than once a week, or it can become abrasive to your skin. One last thing. Turn on the shower, really really hot. When it starts steaming, sit on the toilet, or a chair if your bathroom is big enough, and put a towl over your head, with your hand supporting the towel so you can breathe. This forces the toxins out of your skin. Good luck!

oh, good for you, I saw this whole bit in Rachel Ray about acne, let's start with the myths, you know they always say wash your face a lot if you have acne but actually the skin has beneficial oils which will dry out with too much washing and will make it worse. Also forget the food and stuff, don't think too much about it. The pillow is a real culprit, never put your face on the pillow while you sleep. Just try sleeping on your back, this will keep your skin clear and also keep your hands absolutely clean all the time. Hands have more germs than your house's toilet, yes that's right. Don't try too much products on your face, find something that's good for you and stick to it. Always remove make-up before you sleep. Get a moisturizer with 'retinol' in it, it's good for skin. Always use a sunscreen when you got out. Smoking is bad for skin. Drinking water helps but it wouldn't get rid of pimples because skin gets water in the end after all your organs. Just try these things, you can also try this cream 'skinoren' it's good for pimples, hope i helped.

i keep it a habit to always drink 8 glass of water a day to cleanse my whole body and also to prevent pimples from popping all over my face.
