A few basic steps can help you manage the bacteria that causes acne without creams or other medical interventions.

Instructions

• 1

  Keep your skin clean by washing with a gentle facial cleanser. This simple exercise minimize the spread and severity of acne if it occurs, and prevent it from returning once you eliminate it. Even if you are using an acne cream, keeping your face clean must be a priority.

• 2

  Eat a varied diet that includes foods rich in vitamins A and B, which some experts believe help maintain healthy skin. These include spinach, sweet potatoes, carrots, whole-grain cereal, brown rice and most berries. Also, avoid foods high in caffeine and dairy products.

• 3

  Minimize your stress levels. Stress causes hormone levels to increase, which can then result in the spread of acne. If your stress levels are high, try yoga or other exercise to bring your stress under control.
