  2. There is a close relationship between acne and diet. Adopting a healthy diet can really work wonders on your skin.

    However, this doesn't mean that a proper daily skin routine must be ignored. Once you eat the right foods and take good care of your skin, you'll beat acne.

    A good skin care routine is made up of cleansing, toning, exfoliating and moisturizing.

    Always becareful of the products you choose for your skin.
