Scars are one problem that are left by a terrible case of acne.
  For some it's not just acne that makes life miserable, it's the scars that it leaves behind.
  Those that have suffered from a severe case of acne know the scars can last for years.
For some, it can be so bad, it misshapes their face for the rest of their lives.
  One effective way of avoiding a terrible case of acne is by keeping the skin clean.
  At the onset of bad acne on the face or body, using acne skin care products can prove a big help.
  For prevention, you may include using a good skin cleanser as part of your daily regimen.
  Choosing the right one may need closer scrutiny because there are products on the market that contain harsh ingredients that may cause damage to the skin.
  Some products have too strong components that can dry up the moisture in your skin and make it itchy.
  There are also products that contain harsh ingredients that may cause to suffer from allergy attacks.
  So before applying anything on your face for the first time, you may want to apply it first to a patch on your leg, then to your shoulder then ultimately on your face.
  This is to make sure that you are not sensitized to any ingredient that the product may have.
  How frequent you wash your face may be determined, first and foremost, by your skin type.
  People with oily skin should be more conscious about their faces because the accumulated oil on their faces is like a dirt magnet.
  The oil is like a repository of dirt and may deposit itself on the skin, clogging pores which can breed the bacteria that cause acne.
  If the pores get clogged up, it can also cause whiteheads and blackheads.
It is important that people with oily skin wash their faces as often as possible to prevent the accumulation of oil and dirt at the pores.
  Unlike people with dry skin, people with oily skin are more prone to having acne and pimple breakouts.
     Because of the many products that are out in the market, you may want to consider the herbal alternative.
  Products that have herbal components do not contain high content of chemicals like sodium lauryl sulfate.
  You may also reap the full benefits from these products because of the inherent properties of the herbs used in these products to prevent you from getting acne.
Being free from acne is easier for some than others, those that have been blessed with a good skin type that is not susceptible to acne breakouts are definitely at an advantage.
  Keeping a regimen of washing your face regularly is needed to get rid of the accumulated dirt and oil.
It just can't be stressed enough.
