The fight against acne is becoming mobile

For anyone suffering from terrible acne and skin care problems, the best resource is available online. While our friends and family members offer helpful advice, the truth is that they mostly just perpetuate many of the myths about why acne breakouts occur. Sometimes their treatment suggestions are just as bad as the acne problem itself!

For anyone desperate for the right acne treatment product or skin care system, it's best to understand your skin type. Once you understand what skin type you have, you'll be better prepared to see the connection between your skin's natural response to pimples and blemishes and how to best combat their appearance.

Sometimes the best information a person can discover is that they can treat their acne or skin breakouts organically. In fact, organic products may be the only thing that finally provides relief for many acne sufferers, especially those who are highly sensitive to additives, medicated ingredients, and perfumes commonly found in over-the-counter acne treatments.

And it's not just about acne. With a growing demand for healthier and natural products and a more holistic approach, treating rosacea, acne scars and eczema has never been easier.

If you thought acne, pimples and blemishes were just a teenager's affliction, then it's time to re-educate yourself. Far too many men and women still struggle with acne due to hormonal imbalances, stress, poor diet, and daily face and body washing practices.

Did you know that when you shower and scrub your skin and then use shampoo, you open the pores of the skin and make it vulnerable to residue and additives from the shampoo product? This simple habit could be responsible for the majority of your body's acne breakouts.

And what about makeup? Ladies, we all use it, but do you really know your makeup's expiration dates and how simply changing out a few of your brushes/applicators can make such a difference in reducing bacteria commonly found in your makeup supplies!

And guys, have you ever thought about how you shave? Shaving opens your pores and irritates the skin and can promote a breakout of red spots along with an itchy stubborn rash. Do you know what you should do to prevent this? It's simple: after shaving, you should rinse your face and neck area with cold water to close the pores and reduce inflammation caused by shaving.

When treating acne, would a premenopausal woman need the same acne treatment as a 15-year-old woman with cystic acne? The answer is most likely not.

In fact, there are so many customizable options and products on the market that finding the right information can sometimes be a bit daunting. But with a simple push of a button or the use of your smartphone, the confusion and your skin can be eliminated.
