How to take care of your face?

Sometimes, isn't it hard to take care of your face to avoid the grow-up stupid acne? Yea, it sure pressure me alot when there's a lot of stupid pimples growing to my face.
Like ughhh, its NOT like i didnt take care or carelessly taking care of my face. Its just they WILL growing no matter what happen. 
Dushhh stupid pimples. hurm, i knew it ; in my issues, the pimples / acnes are growing to my face because of hormones. Yup! Exactly, but yeah we sure to make a lot of efforts righttt to STILL avoid them to grow happily LEWL x)

**Okay, back to the topic! How to take care of them? So, i've been googling and made a research on "Tips for taking care for your face". Basically here, they telling these tips are for teens, but whatever im still teen i guess? (18 y/o) :O

Okay! These are the ways to prevent and treat common skin problems

  • Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne. Gently massage your face with circular motions. Don't scrub. Overwashing and scrubbing can cause skin to become irritated. After cleansing, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends applying an over-the-counter (no prescription needed) lotion containing benzoyl peroxide. This will decrease oil and bacteria.
  • Don't pop pimples. It's tempting, but here's why you shouldn't: Popping pimples can push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a big event, like the prom, a dermatologist can often treat it for you with less risk of scarring or infection.
  • Avoid touching your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum and skin residue like your phone. Touching your face can spread the bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated. To keep bacteria at bay, wash your hands before applying anything to your face, such as treatment creams or makeup.
  • If you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.
  • If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes. They don't allow skin to breathe and may cause irritation. Scarves, headbands, and caps can collect dirt and oil, too.
  • Remove your makeup before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic" on the label. Throw away old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it.
  • Keep hair clean and out of your face to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.
  • Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan masks acne, but it's only temporary. A tan may worsen your acne, not improve it. Tanning also causes damage to skin that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer.
So yeah, have fun treating it! *wink wink*
