• Acne lesions can form in areas where pressure is frequently applied to the skin. Pressure from bike helmets, backpacks, or tight collars can make acne worse. Avoid wearing hats or sports equipment such as helmets, straps or sweatbands that rub on your forehead. Wear loose fitting, cotton clothing or moleskin to minimize friction on your skin.
  
• If your hair is oily, shampoo it daily. Comb or pull your hair back to keep it off the face and rubbing against skin.
  
• Always wash your face carefully before going to bed. Your skin is in healing mode while you sleep. Also try not to sleep with your face pressed against the pillow.
