When it comes to maintaining healthy skin, there are several steps you can take to help the process. Acne is not fun to deal with for anybody, and can effect people of all ages.

While there is clearly no cure for clear skin, the following are some rules I have developed over the years that have definitely helped keep my skin clear.

Drink more water. Water is incredibly beneficial for your skin, keeping it hydrated. Any time you feel a breakout coming along, you should drink more water. Try to keep it consistent by drinking more water daily. Try to take in at least 2 liters of water a day.

Another good rule of thumb is to always wash your hands before touching your face. Throughout the day, your hands accumulate all sorts of germs and oils that you may not be able to see, but are definitely there. Prevent these germs and bacteria from getting on your face by always washing your hands prior to touching your face.

Change your pillowcases often. A pillowcase can get very dirty very quickly. Our hair is very oily and some of that oil gets absorbed into the pillowcase, and then onto your face. Prevent this by washing your pillow cases about once every 3 days.

Do not over wash. Washing your face too often can cause serious drying of the skin, which in turn will lead to more breakouts. Try to only wash your face once in the morning and then once at night. The one other time it is suitable (and necessary) would be post-exercise.

Go to a steam room once in a while. Steam rooms are incredibly beneficial for the skin and provide a relaxing mechanism to help clear your skin. Doctors may argue about the effectiveness of the steam room, but I have personally noticed good results with it.

Hopefully one or more of these guidelines will be beneficial to you and your skin. Remember that there is no cure for acne and the next best thing you can do is get into a healthy routine for your skin.
