a way to prevent or at least diminish acne.

This is very simple, although it might take some practice..

Don’t touch your face.

Our hands have oil in them. Ever touch a window, the hood of a car, or an electric guitar, especially one with a black finish? We leave marks. It’s because of the oil in the skin of our fingertips.

People who touch their faces a lot are likely to have acne. The oil from the fingertips goes into the skin of the face.

A long time ago, someone gave me excellent advice – I was told I should avoid touching my face unless I’m washing it. I’ve followed this advice, and doing so is one reason I still don’t have acne.

There’s a woman I met recently met who has facial acne pretty bad. She touches her face a lot. It’s a nervous habit she has. Much of her acne is located where she habitually puts her hands. I don’t know her well enough to tell her not to touch her face. I’d tell her, but I don’t want to offend her.

I can at least post this advice on my blog and hope people read it. Even if you have acne now, if you find yourself touching your face a lot, try to stop. It’s possible your acne will improve, at least a little.

Spread the word.
