I use these basic steps:

-wash my face with lukewarm water ( it opens up your pores)
-gently using cleanser on my face ( i use clean n clear as it is the mildest on face, doesn't harm like other products)
- wash your face with normal water as it will close the pores
- pat dry
- Don't forget to moisturize with a good moisturizer ( i use Loreal for Men Moisturizer)
-If u are dealing outside with the sun, do use sunblock, at least SPF 15 to protect from the harmful rays
- take omega 3,6,9 supplements everyday, it improves your skin from the inside out
- take zinc tabs at least 3 times a week, some doctors recommend it, no harm trying

P/S: My skin is quite clear from pimples, i do get breakouts once a while but with the proper care i have listed, it goes away with minimal marks Hope it helps!!
