You can do some things to help keep your face and body acne free. You should wash your face two to three times a day with an oil-free mild cleanser. Many natural skin care products avoid both oil and irritating soaps in their products.

After cleansing, rinse your face. Drink lots of water and avoid poping or picking at your pimples, this will only promote their spreading and may leave acne scars.
