3-Step Teen Acne Solution

     

First Homecoming makeup trial

Dreaded pimples. They ruin everything! I can't even say that this post relates to teens only because I'm in my mid-thirties and still break out occasionally. In fact, I went through a tough situation in my mid-twenties that caused my hormones to run rampant. My face went crazy. Talk about embarrassing. I even had someone say to me, "What happened to your face?" True story! Do me a favor. Don't ever ask someone that. ;)

I've been helping Grace get prepared for her Homecoming dance which is coming up in two short weeks. She needed a new skin care regimen and this was the perfect opportunity for me to share what I learned about skin all those years ago. During that ordeal, I had done so much research on acne. I had gone to the doctor. I had even ordered and tried Proactive. Why didn't any of it work?

I wish I could remember the website that saved my skin. I tried to find it, but couldn't. I am not a dermatologist and I do not claim to have answers for everyone. All I know is that this worked for me and it's working for Grace. Maybe try this before you spend tons of money on prescriptions and expensive products. It's super affordable and works for guys or gals!

ONCE A DAY 3-STEP ACNE SOLUTION

1. Wash your face(preferably at night) with a VERY gentle hypoallergenic cleanser like Johnson & Johnson PURPOSE from Walgreens. ($5.79)

2. Follow with an acne spot treatment with 10% Benzoyl Peroxide like PersaGel 10 by Clean & Clear. Only apply it to existing breakout areas. ($5.99)



3. Finish with a fragrance-free hypoallergenic moisturizer like Cetaphil. Moisturizing is so important! I know it seems counter-intuitive but it is an essential clear skin product! ($13.49)



Follow these three steps once a day, that's it. I can't even tell you the science behind it. Maybe it has to do with the fact that these products have less chemicals. Maybe it's the washing once a day. I don't know, but give it a try! Grace's forehead cleared up almost completely in two weeks!

I'll leave you with this scripture from Proverbs 31:30 NIV: "Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."

Remember one thing. Beauty comes from the inside out.
