Acne, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, is characterized by comedones (blackheads & whiteheads), pimples and deeper lumps(cysts or nodules) that occur on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders, and upper arms.
Acne usually begins in puberty and affects many adolescents and young adults, but can occur at any stage of life.
Gently wash affected areas once or twice a day with mild non-drying soap. Vigorous washing and scrubbing can irritate your skin and make acne worse.
Shampoo hair often, daily if it is oily.
To prevent scars, do not pop, squeeze, or pick at acne.
Seek treatment early for severe acne that does not respond to over-the-counter medications to reduce the risk of scarring.

How To Protect Your Skin
-Seek Shade when appropriate, remembering that the sun's rays are strongest between 10am and 2pm.
-Wear protective clothing such as long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses, where possible.
-Generously apply a broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with a SPF of at least 30 to all exposed skin.
-Use Extra Caution near water, snow and sand as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun.
-Avoid Tanning Beds. Ultraviolet light from tanning beds can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look tan, consider using a self-tanning product but continue to use sunscreen with it.

How to use Sunscreen
One ounce, enough to fill a shot glass, is considered the amount needed to cover the exposed areas of the body. Adjust the amount of sunscreen applied depending on body size.
Re-apply sunscreen approximately every two hours or after swimming or sweating heavily according to the directions on the bottle.
