Common conclusions

You should avoid foods rich in refined carbohydrates such as bread, crackers, pasta made with white flour, white rice and rice noodles, sweeteners like cane sugar, maple syrup, honey or agave, etc. Eating lots of processed foods can increase the concentrations of blood sugar and insulin and lead to acne growth. It may be beneficial against the production of acne by eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, probiotics, green tea, fruit and vegetables. It is also likely that vitamins A, D and E, as well as zinc, help avoid acne.

An early symptom of pregnancy that is faced by many women is acne.

You should avoid touching your face. Not only does it allow more pore-clogging dirt, oil, and bacteria to touch your skin, but it can also cause discomfort.

Appropriate exfoliation eliminates the skin clogging membrane of dead skin cells and reveals new cells below, so you should start exfoliating your face. Exfoliants, with or without salicylic acid, can also help with whiteheads.

Sunscreen can clog pores, which then leads to blemishes. You should look for a non-comedogenic, oil-free sunscreen such as La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF 60, La Roche-Posay Anthelios SPF 50 Mineral Ultra-Light Fluid, etc.
