Some experts believe there is a correlation between dairy products and breakouts, so if you're suddenly consuming more dairy, you may want to consider cutting back. If your new diet is healthy and balanced, however, you may want to look at other potential causes. I recommend washing your face twice daily with a professional-grade cleanser, especially before bed and after workouts; it’s also important to wash your pillowcase frequently, as it harbors bacteria from your hair and skin. Remember: Occasional breakouts are common, but chronic or inflamed acne can be greatly improved by visiting a qualified esthetician or physician.
