  Hi me..or you.. This answer is designed to better educate you on acne from a larger picture. I hope it helps you. What agravates acne? 1- Oily hair.. so stay away from oily hair products like pomades, hairsprays and keep your hair off your forehead & face, keepit pulled back or have a short hair style, maybe put it in a hair net at night as it will keep it off of your skin. 2- Skin cosmentics and suntan lotions.. so use types that do not clog pores .. like noncomedogenic (google it) 3- Skin moisterizers on acne prone skin ..if you do feel you need to .. make sure it is not acnegenic. 4- Washing your skin with hot water and harsh cleansers that can can further irritate your skin. ..Wash the skin gently with a mild soap or cleanser and warm (not hot) water once or twice daily. 5- Scrubbing your skin to get rid of acne, this can actually make your acne worse and promote scarring by increasing inflammation or rupturing cysts under your skin, making bacteria spread. 6- Picking your pimples or blackheads.. this can leave permanent scars. If you feel you just have to get that head out that is ready to burst.. go gently & immediately apply a topical antibiotic to help stave off infection. 7-Stressing out. Stress can cause acne break outs, and herpie outbreaks as well. Quit worrying over the outward appearance of acne .. it doesn't make you a bad person.. real beauty in a lot deaper than the skin. 8- Not getting enough sleep can cause stress as well so get to bed and those 8 hours in .. an nap when you feel like. 9- Poor nutrition ...everyone knows that more fruits and vegetables in your diet is more healthy.. a healthy body will heal itself.
