Vitamin B5 is very helpful but limit the amount of sugars, carbohydrates, fats and oil in your diet as they worsen acne. Water is also good for your skin as it helps hydrate your skin and remove toxins from you skin which also contribute to break outs in the skin.

The skin care products that you use should be light, fragrance-free, non-irritating and oil-free to avoid blocking the pores.

Avoid putting on makeup if you have oily skin but if you must always remove it all before you go to sleep as it might block your pores.
