The acne or pimples occur when oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells clog hair follicles.  The people with oily skin are more prone to get pimples but if you can break some bad habits, you can prevent pimples.  Here are some of the bad habits which can cause pimples and you can avoid them.

• Washing your skin very often :  It is important to keep your skin clean, but washing it too often will only make the acne worse.  Instead of that you can just wash your face in the morning when you wake up and  at night before sleeping./
• Scrubbing your skin vigorously : Scrubbing your skin vigorously with a wash cloth will cause significant irritation — and may worsen your acne-prone skin.  To prevent acne, always wash with only lukewarm water and a gentle cleanser.
• Picking at your skin and popping your pimples : Some times it may be irresistible to pick or pop pimples,  this behavior can cause increased redness from squeezing the pus deeper into the skin and sometimes even scarring. Instead, keep your hands off your face and let pimples go back down to size with the help of an anti-acne lotion or cream.
• Not cleaning sweaty skin :  Your skin will be covered with sweat after having a tough work or have been outside in the sun.  Please do not allow the sweat to dry on the skin.  Instead, always  bathe or wash your skin promptly after sweating.
• Skipping the shampoo : If you have oily hair, that oil can seep down to your face and can cause pimples. So you make sure that you wash your hair each day to keep excess oil off your forehead.  
• Getting hair products on your face :  It is very important to keep hair spray, gel, or other hair products away from your face to prevent them from clogging up your pores.  You should cover up your face when applying these hair products on your hair and off your skin.
• Eating greasy food : Greasy foods can make acne-prone skin worse because of the excess oil and grease that can get on to the skin from the food itself.  So have a healthy diet without greasy and fried food to spare your skin. 
• Using cosmetics containing oil :  If you have acne-prone skin, you should avoid using oily skin products.  Look for oil-free options labeled with the terms "non-acnegenic" or "non-comedogenic" to help prevent acne.
