 For teens, their social life is one of the most important aspects of their life. Having a bad case of acne breakouts can have serious psychological effects that can put a damper on what would be a normally fun time period of their life. Within the school environment, some teens report being ostracized by their peers for having acne. Many teens with acne problems feel depressed and will shy away from typical teen social gatherings. Feeling alone and insecure, teens do benefit from help given from adults who understand the psychological trauma that having acne causes.
Thankfully there are many different skin care products available to help teens with acne lesions. Store bought products have hit and miss results depending on the severity of the problem that is occurring. The great news is that Skin Gift has several acne products that have proven to be very effective in treating acne.
Teens will benefit from using the Clarisonic Plus Face & Body brush as the first part of their skin cleaning regime. This fantastic brush removes six times more make-up and dirt than manual cleaning does. Using the brush will leave skin feeling clean and fresh. The amazing Obagi Clenziderm MD products have solubilized benzoyl peroxide that will penetrate deep into the follicle for fast and effective acne treatment. You will find these and several other acne products for people of ages, at Skin Gift.

 Continuing from Tuesday…
• Sun tanning will improve acne. Lying in the sun will dry out the skin for a short period of time, but it won’t stop the oil production completely. Ultraviolet rays are strong, but they will not penetrate deep enough into the pores of your skin to kill the bacteria that causes acne. So it may feel like getting a tan is helping improve your acne, but it is an extremely short lived time frame.
• Using sunscreen causes acne breakouts. Like people, not all sunscreens are alike. Some formulas may be more irritating to your skin and some may clog your pores causing breakouts. Using sunscreen is extremely important as it is the only way to protect your skin from the suns dangerous UVA and UVB rays. IS Clinical’s Treatment Sunscreen won’t clog your pores and provides the protection you need.
• Stress causes acne. The verdict is still out on this one. Some studies have shown that stress does affect acne production in some people. To be safe and acne free, it’s important to eat a healthy diet, drink plenty of water, and sleep well. With any luck, living a healthy life style will help you remain acne free!
If you’ve been dealing with acne breakouts for what feels like forever or have a teen that has acne trouble, it’s time to call Skin Gift.

 Some people are under the misconception that acne only occurs during the hormonally charged teen years, when in fact adults are subject to acne breakouts in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s and sometimes even their 50’s. In the early years, acne often presents itself with whiteheads and blackheads which can occur at any location on the face, forehead, nose, back, neck, and the back of the arms. Adult acne typically looks different in that it often has reddish nodules around the mouth and jaw areas. Regardless of when, where, or how it appears, acne lesions can be frustrating to deal with, no matter what age you are.
Acne myths are a confusing maze of information to muddle through for both teens and adults. People often wonder what is causing their acne to appear and if they are personally making choices that will seal their acne fate. Here are some of the common acne myths that you should be aware of…
• Eating chocolate will cause you to have acne. This is one of the most common myths that have been around for what seems like forever! Okay ladies, you can breathe a huge sigh of relief because there is NO concrete evidence that links our beloved chocolate to acne breakouts. There is controversy as to the topic of what you eat and drink versus acne breakouts. Some studies have linked milk products to acne, but drinking milk is essential to good bone health.
Please check back on Thursday for the conclusion.

 You may have heard the term before…the “T-Zone”. Everyone has a T-Zone area and people with oily or combination skin typically struggle with acne, blackheads and oil in this area. On your face the T-Zone is the area which is the most prone to have acne breakouts.
Are you wondering where your T-Zone is? Imagine drawing a line straight across your forehead. Now draw a line from the middle of the sides of your forehead, down your nose, including part of your chin. Add the sides of your nose into your imaginary “T” too, because this is a place that typically becomes very oily and develops clogged pores and acne lesions on many peoples face.
There’s no need to fret about keeping your T-Zone clean and acne free. You can end your frustration by using Obagi’s CLENZIderm M.D. Daily Care Foaming Cleanser. It will remove dirt and excess oil so that your face will feel clean and refreshed. The benzoyl peroxide in Obagi’s CLENZIderm M.D. Pore Therapy will provide deep cleaning into the follicle so acne lesions cannot grow. Moisturizing your face is just as important as cleansing it. Use Obagi’s CLENZIderm Therapeutic Moisturizer to calm and sooth your skin. You’ll find each of these fine skin care products available at Skin Gift.
