Wash your face with a pH balanced face wash, preferably a one containing 1-2% salicylic acid. Avoid cosmetic creams on your face. Avoid too much oil on your scalp. Diet is important. Avoid milk and milk products like cheese, chocolates, sweets, sugary foods and drinks. Eat a lot of fruits rich in vitamin A and drink plenty of water.
