Dang, I'm struggling with the same issue right now. Here's some suggestions I have:

Update: So many of you guys have liked my comment and gave me suggestions! I've added them to this comment as well.

Update 2: This comment made from both my experience and the replies in the comments. Hopefully you'll scroll and see all of them, but if you don't want to, don't worry, I've added them to the main comment already.

1• Wash your face. Cleaning is really important. Doesn't matter- Towel, taking a shower, you name it. I suggest using water, following up with some skibcare porducts as well. Considering the products are for removing/washing off the oil on your face that causes acne.

2• Hot water. Fill a bucket (idk smth similar) with hot water. Take a towel and cover the back of your head. Put your face near the hot water and let the steam hit. The pores would open up, which is easier for cleaning- Like a mini sauna. Make sure the equipment you used for storing the hot water is as big/bigger than your face for better experience. If no, just covering the area where you have acne should be fine, but maybe just a bit less effective.

3• Find some acne patches outside in shops. They SAVED ME SO BADDDD- Seriously, you must at least buy a small box and try it yourself. Teatree trouble pad is super useful for me and had stopped TONS of outbreaks and I strongly suggest it.

4• Eat less junk food. French fries, chips, spicy food, and more. Avoid eating McDonald's or other fast-food restaurants too much. Eat less oily food as well. Sugary foods isn't an exception- In fact, someone in my replies pointed out it's just as worse. Try to avoid those. Maybe cut on drinking soda, for an example.

5• Avoid touching or scratching acne at all costs- Your hands are dirty as heck. It'll just make things worst. It might even cause the pores to close off if you scratch it too often, perhaps even leaving a permanent mark!

6• Sleep earlier. The same guy also pointed out he found out when he slept less early, like late night, outbreaks are much more often. I can relate to it, so I added it as well.

7• Doing sports. This might be a surprise for you and me, but exercising helps as well! Not directly, but it'll help with reducing stress, boosts Endorphins (It boosts moods and counteracts acne due to stress) And improves sleep.

8• Being hydrated. Consuming enough water can help with the skin's natural detoxification, flushing out toxins that clog pores. It also balances the skin's pH, maintaining a healthy skin mircobiome, which could in some-way help prevent acne-causing bacteria.

9• Stay positive! Mental health is also confirmed to help acne. Some acne are confirmed that they're formed from stress, sadness and negative emotions.

Negative effects and ways to counteract the side effects of each suggestion.

1• The towel might be dirty, allowing more bacteria to make contact with your skin

Sol: Everytime you finished washing your face, wash the towel twice by soaking it in water and squeezing the water out, make sure all the water in the towel is squeezed out before leaving it overnight. You should also put it into the washing machine for better cleaning. The period is about every 3-5 washes. 7 if you're going for the limit.

2• The hot water might cause suffocation for people with asthma, be careful!

Sol: Just try it once first. If you feel uncomfortable, try not to do the strat because your life matters more!

3• The economic conditions need to be good to buy these bad bois.

Sol: Try to ask your parents to give economic support, or use the other suggestions I've included in here!

4• Sugart goods are hard to stop, I know.

Sol: Maybe replace sweets and ice-cream with yogurt, Cola and soft drinks with juice and milk instead. In summary, just change your diet.

5• I know everyone had a scratching habit, even I do.

Sol: Use some fidget toys yo distract yourself. But most importantly, train your self-control. Search methods up on YouTube, that's what the internet's for.

6• Hard to sleep early due to habits and doom-scrolling.

Sol: Stop using all electric gadgets an hour before sleep... Etc etc. I remember there's a Gohar video which talked about how to sleep earlier.

7• Sweat when mixed with dead cell skins could lead to potential pore clogs. If oil and sweat are left on the skin, it can create an environment that allows bacteria to thrive.

Sol: Shower or at least wipe your body after each workout session. Wash away all the sweat you have!

8• Overhydration ig idk lol

Sol: Just make sure you're drinking the average recommendation of litres doctors suggest.

9• Idk what to name ts at this point

Sol: Try to look at positive sides out of the negative things you've encountered. (But don't you dare try to talk back saying you can't see the positives of your grandpa dying or what. HOW COULD YOU EVEN FIND HAPPINESS IN THAT-)

All these above are to prevent acne breakouts, which I'm experiencing right now 😭 But it's much better, and these methods won't destroy your wallet. Good luck !🤞

Edit: I'm going to bed rn, I might update this comment even more if more than 100 people noticed it or smth idk :P

Edit 2: I've just woken up, and holy, that's way more than 100 people. I'll eat breakfast first, then I'll update it :]

Edit 3: I've just finished this entire comment, I'm tired rn 😭 My fingersssss-
