As simple as it sounds, washing your face with a natural cleanser twice a day (once in the day and once before bed-time), will help refresh and clean the skin of impurities.

4. Avoid Hairspray products away from your face
If you use hairspray or gel to style and hold your hair together, be wary to spray it away from your face. Most hair products contain chemicals and oils that can be detrimental to your skin and may clog your pores, which will eventually lead to those pesky pimples to form on the skin. Try and find an alternative oil free and water based hair product that works just as effectively.
5. Check labels
Make sure to use appropriate skin products that suits your skin type and check the label if they are noncomedogenic or nonacnegenic, which are great products that won’t clog your pores.
