Acne in adult men is a more common problem than many people think. Stress, not enough sleep and unhealthy eating habits all contribute to acne in adults. As you age, your skin requires more maintenance in order to be healthy and clear of blemishes. Preventing acne before it starts is the best treatment. Take a few extra minutes each day to properly clean, tone and moisturize your skin so you can enjoy the confidence that smooth, healthy skin brings.

Cleanse your skin thoroughly with an oil-free cleanser. Noncomedogenic cleansers will also not aggravate the skin and will clean it thoroughly. If you have dry or sensitive skin, choose a gentle cleanser. If you have oily skin, choose a cleanser that combats excess oil. Pat your skin dry gently with a clean, dry towel. Do not rub it.

Apply an oil-free, alcohol-free toner to your skin with a cotton pad or cotton ball. Oil-free toner rehydrates your face without clogging pores and causing acne. For extremely dry or sensitive skin, alcohol-free toner will remove impurities from your skin without drying it out.

Moisturize your skin with an oil-free moisturizer. Look for a product that describes your skin, whether it is dry, sensitive or prone to oil. If you have existing acne, a moisturizer with benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid will nourish your skin while combating your acne. Benzoyl peroxide destroys the pore-clogging bacteria on your skin, and salicylic acid helps unclog pores. Use it daily for the most effect.
