Treat the whole face
Treat the whole face Once you do have a treatment plan in place, it's important to address the whole face, not just the areas where you're prone to breakouts. Why do you need to treat the parts of your face that are (thankfully) blemish-free? "Your face is made of thousands of 'pipes' connecting oil glands to the surface of the skin. In acne, we know that each of these is somewhat clogged, but we have no way of predicting which will become fully blocked and lead to a pimple," explains Zeichner. Instead of playing catch-up and trying to eliminate pimples once they've developed, try to prevent cystic acne before it begins by using your acne treatment on your full face. As they say, the best offense is a good defense.
