The hot, humid months of summer have just begun - aka 'acne season.' While you're making your summer va-kay plans, don't let anything 'pop up' to ruin your trip. Here are some great skin care habits that will treat acne prone skin to prevent an acne breakout.

Keep skin clean by washing each day with a gentle liquid cleanser, preferably one containing pore clearing Salicylic Acid. Constant washing depletes skin’s moisture level increases oil production and irritates acne.

For acne-prone skin, follow the use of your daily face wash with an application of Advanced Face Tonic, a toner that removes organic buildup and dissolves dead skin cells and pore-clogging, oily residues.

Acne treatment products that contain Benzoyl Peroxide reduce acne-causing bacteria; so, after the acne breakout has been controlled, get rid of acne by daily applying a medicated acne lotion.

Cover your skin with an ultralight, oil free sunscreen whenever you go outside. Sun exposure can provoke greater pore-clogging oil production, and redden or darken existing acne marks and lines, causing acne scarring.

Never pop or pick at blackheads, whiteheads and pimples. You might think you're clearing pores, but you're actually spreading bacteria and irritating the skin, worsening the acne.

Our new acne treatment regimen applies these simple guidelines to help you and prevent and control your acne outbreaks – year round.
