In most cases, acne starts between the ages of 10 and 13 and usually lasts for 5 to 10 years.
The appearance of teenage acne is largely the result of your body's increased production of hormones.
The good news is that those embarrassing blemishes usually go away and are often gone for good by the time you reach your early twenties.
What do people with acne usually do? They usually wash their faces excessively, which is usually more than twice a day with any soap (regular soaps, acne soaps or soaps with abrasives) has little positive impact on your acne.

Frequent washing only makes it much redder.
My ideal plan for you to battle acne will be to just wash your face with a mild soap just twice a day.

- Oily Skin: Ivory soap
- Dry Skin: Dove Soap
- Extra-sensitive skin: Neutrogena is a brand with most of their products catered towards the consumers with extra-sensitive skin.
It doesn't mean that if you scrub your face harder, you will get more dirt out.
Follow these steps:
- Use lukewarm water to get the soap wet.
- Use your fingertips to apply the soap to your face and rub it gently into your skin using a circular motion.
(Never use loofah sponges, brushes or objects with rough surfaces!) - Gently splash your face with lukewarm water until the soap is completely washed off.
(Even if you really love that Jasmine-lavender smell.
) - Pat your skin using a soft cotton towel till it is totally dry.
