1. Make sure to always (and we do mean always) remove your makeup before going to bed. Your skin needs to breathe at night. Makeup prevents this by clogging your pores, which can lead to blemishes and/or blackheads. Don't have any makeup remover? Simply put a little olive oil on a cotton pad and gently massage the oil over your face to remove makeup and dirt.

2. Apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 that blocks UVA and UVB rays. Since a lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots, and other skin problems, you need to protect your skin from the sun. Make sure the label says "non-comedogenic" or "non-acnegenic" so that the product doesn't tend to clog pores.  Don't: skip the sunscreen, even if it's cloudy or cold outside (no excuses). If you are going to the beach or near reflective surfaces like snow or ice, lather your skin with a sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
