Common conclusions

You should start using salicylic acid because it works best for mild acne such as blackheads and whiteheads. You can use it one to three times daily. Salicylic acid is available in acne toners and astringents, as well as creams and gels. You should apply a thin film of the medication to the areas of your skin affected by acne.

You should start exfoliating your skin because it helps to get rid of dead skin that can clog your pores. You will efficiently flush out these whiteheads by exfoliating the skin with salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or lactic acid.

You should look for makeup products labeled “oil-free” and “noncomedogenic.” You also need to wash your makeup off every night using lukewarm water. Make sure to pat your skin dry instead of scrubbing.

You should start applying it to your face because it can reduce oil due to the drying effects of citric acid. It also contains antibacterial compounds and helps reduce inflammation. Unfiltered or mixed with equivalent portions of water, lemon juice may be used. In this case, using a cotton pad or clean fingers, it can be applied straight to the infected region of the body and kept on for twenty minutes.

Great, you should continue wearing a sunscreen specifically designed for the face. All-over sunscreens can clog facial pores. You should try out the EltaMD UV Daily Face Sunscreen SPF 46, La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin SPF 60 Sunscreen, etc.

Skipping sunscreen with acne-prone skin is not an option, so you should start wearing sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
