Article: You're using natural remedies for your acne treatment — that's great. Don't wipe away all your gains by popping your pimples. The short-term gratification might be overwhelming, but it's really not good in the long run.  Acne is a bacteria that lives in your pores. Popping the pimple gives the acne a chance to spread over the skin to other pores, infecting them. Popping pimples causes inflammation and may lead to scarring. So if you want your acne to be less visible, resist the urge to pop. Stop before you pop. Washing your face is good: try to wash once in the morning and once at night. But over-washing your face can cause further irritation and unnecessarily dry out the skin. Washing your face over and over again will not give you a better shot at treating your acne. Your skin is an organ in your body, just like your kidney. Like your kidney, it needs to be fed with water and moisture to function properly. That's where moisturizing comes in. After every time you wash your face, moisturize. Different skin types call for different moisturizers. Cream-based moisturizers are probably more effective for dry skin, as they tend to be oily. Gel-based moisturizers are better for oily skin, as they disperse more evenly on the skin. Preferably the kind that doesn't irritate your skin, but still protects you from sun damage. Acne can be made worse by overexposure to the sun and by sun damage, making this an easy proposition. For better-looking skin, wear sunscreen. These things may seem to have nothing to do with the quality of your skin, but they in fact have a very meaningful relationship with quality of skin.  Doctors don't exactly know why, but stress worsens acne. When stress is produced in humans, the hormones that regulate sebum, an excess of which produces acne, stop working as well. So find healthy ways to reduce stress in your life and see your skin get better! The more you sleep, the less stress you put your body through. You have about 15% more stress for every hour of sleep you lose per night. And we just learned that stress causes acne. So get those ZZZs and see your acne improve. Exercise is a healthy way to give stress an outlet. Plain and simple, it's harder to be stressed when we're all tuckered out. So join a gym, play an intramural sport, or start running on your own.

What is a summary?
Try not to pick at or pop your pimples. Wash your face twice a day — no less. Moisturize. Use sunscreen. Get enough rest, exercise, and reduce stress in your life.
