PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Following are the preventive measure that you can use in order to prevent pimples in future:

• To prevent pimples make sure you moisturize your skin daily. But make sure the moisturiser you use should be fragrance-free and non-comedogenic.
• Make sure you drink enough water daily. Because lack of water in the body leads to dehydration which causes pimples.
• Don’t go out in sun too often. Because sun rays cause the skin to produce more oil which leads to pimples.
• Do not use too much makeup. Chemical products lead to pimples.
• Wash your face at least 2 times a day with a mild face wash. Face washes help in keeping the dust, oil and dirt away from your face.
