You’ve tried all the acne products in the world, and nothing
cures the angry eruptions.  Here
are three low-cost bacteria busters to incorporate into your routine. Do this
religiously for about a month—they will make a difference.

• Give the bathroom towel a break from your face. Keep a roll
  of paper towels   handy and
  use them to blot your wet face. 
  Using the same towel over and over again spreads bacteria back onto your
  freshly washed face. 
• Change your pillowcase nightly, or cover your pillow with
  clean paper towels before you go to sleep. While you are sleeping, bacteria
  from your face rubs off on your pillowcase, causing acne to spread to other
  areas.
• Use disposable cotton balls to apply your makeup.  OK, this one may cost a few bucks
  because you will need to replace your old makeup. When you apply makeup to your
  face, and then dip the same applicator back into the makeup, you are also
  applying acne bacteria back into the product, which then gets spread onto your
  face the next time you use it. Use a clean cotton ball to apply makeup and do
  not double dip.  Get new cotton if
  you need to apply more pigment.
