Oddly enough, your hair products could also be to blame. You see, the shampoo and conditioner that we apply on our hair can actually drip down your back and if not washed off properly, it can cause irritation to the skin or clogged pores. Check your hair products to see if they contain pore-clogging ingredients, such as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate and some oils. You may even want to consider switching to an ultra-gentle product such as Noughty Care Taker Scalp Soothing Shampoo, $9.99.

If you're having trouble remembering the last time you changed your sheets, chances are it's been too long. Sweat, dirt and other nasty stuff can build up on your sheets — and just as dirty pillowcases are a known culprit for facial breakouts, so are dirty bedsheets when it comes to bacne flare-ups. Regularly changing your sheets can make a big difference.

P.S. You might want to check your towel too.
