Tween & Teen Clear Skin Tips

Here's the reality – there is no cure for acne. There's no silver bullet, no magic cream that can make it disappear forever.

Focusing on personal habits, I recommend this clear skin regimen for tweens and teens to treat and help keep acne at bay.

Amazing Skin Tip: Cleanse morning and night.

At night, wash away oil, dirt, pollution, makeup and more from the day. In the morning, wash away excess oil, hair products, and more that came from your pillowcase and sheets. When your skin is clean, it is prepped to get the best from your serum and moisturizer.

For great skin, think beyond skin care.

If your skin is giving you fits, be sure you think beyond your daily skin care. Sometimes the primary cause may be something relatively unrelated to your skin care regimen, like hair products, laundry detergent, certain foods, etc.
