Problem Skin
The subject of acne is a sensitive one. No one likes to think about it -- especially those of us who struggle with it. Although it is more prevalent during the teenage years, acne can persist even up to the 60’s for some adults. The most common causative factors are genetics, hormones and stress.
Here are a few steps to help keep it all under control:
1. A regular cleansing routine is crucial. Gently cleanse your face no more than twice daily.

2. Clarify! Follow regular cleansing with an astringent/toner.

3. Moisturize.

Not one of these products will make miracles happen overnight. We highly recommend consulting with a dermatologist. Sometimes acne is caused solely by hormonal shifts and stress. In these cases, often an antibiotic is necessary to keep the problem under control.
