Skin Care Tip: Simple tips for acne

A few things I've found helpful:

If you feel a big, painful zit coming on before it actually erupts to the surface, ice it a few times a day for a few minutes. It seems to keep it from getting bigger and erupting.

Regarding acne and dry skin - I find that if I don't keep the surface of my skin exfoliated the dry skin cells tend to clog up my pores making my face feel really bumpy. A glycolic gel or toner works wonder for this, applied right under sunscreen or moisturizer. It helps remove those flakes and dried skin cells that otherwise block pores.
