What should you advise a client with acne regarding their skin?

To apply heavy makeup to cover it
To use a scrub every day
To not pick at their skin
To expose their skin to sunlight regularly

The correct answer is: To not pick at their skin

Advising a client with acne to avoid picking at their skin is important because this behavior can lead to exacerbation of the condition. Picking at acne can introduce bacteria, irritate the skin further, and potentially lead to scarring or dark spots. It can also cause inflammation and increase the risk of infection, which may result in more breakouts. Encouraging clients to resist this habit empowers them to take better care of their skin and supports the healing process. In contrast, applying heavy makeup might clog pores and worsen the acne, while using a scrub daily can strip the skin of its natural oils and cause irritation. Regular exposure to sunlight can lead to additional skin damage and may not be a safe or effective treatment for acne, making it less than ideal advice for managing the condition. Advising clients towards gentle skincare practices, like refraining from picking, is crucial in helping them achieve clearer skin.
