Adult acne is not caused by dirt, so frequent washing with harsh substances such as alcohol-based products will not solve the problem. In fact, it could exacerbate the situation by causing
excessive oil production and more pollution
Be good to your skin by washing gently from under the jaw to the hair with a bar of mild soap once or twice a day.
You may find that simply washing with lukewarm water and using clean hands rather than laundry detergent works well for you.
To prevent irritation or burning of your skin, hold it dry — rather than rubbing it — with a soft towel.
Also be careful when it comes to cleaning products that are supposed to be for acne-prone skin, as this can leave healthy skin dry and irritated.
