Whenever we have a problem with our skin, the first thing that many of us do is try to find a cure in order to take care of the problem.  Although it certainly is a good idea for you to find natural things that are able to take care of your acne, it is also possible that you may be doing things which are irritating the situation.  In order for you to truly cleanse yourself and to get rid of the acne problem that you are experiencing, it is necessary for you to avoid certain things as well as adding certain things into your daily regime.

The first mistake that many people with acne tend to make is that they are constantly touching their face.  This actually become such a problem that many people develop a habit of doing it, even when there is no reason to be doing it at all.  It typically comes about as a result of being self-conscious about their problem skin but whether they realize it or not, they may actually be helping the acne to spread.  There is a lot of thought that acne comes about as a result of bacteria in the skin and if you are spreading that bacteria around with your fingers, you may actually be promoting additional acne on your face and body.  If you do have to touch your face, make sure that you localize what you are doing and then wash your hands afterwards.

The last thing that you want to do whenever you have a problem with acne is to pop your zits, for lack of a better term.  Although it is tempting to do so whenever they come to a head, whenever you squeeze them you may be causing a lot more problems rather than getting rid of the problem.  Squeezing them not only pushes things to the surface but it actually may push things further down into the skin.  It also helps to spread the bacteria which causes the acne, something that you certainly would not want to do.  Along with that, doing this may cause permanent scarring which will be a lifelong reminder of the fact that you could not keep your hands off of your face and leave your acne alone.

In order to get rid of your acne, you are going to have to take some natural herbs or perhaps change your eating habits.  Just make sure that you are not irritating the situation in any way while you are going through the process.
