What Exactly is Acne
There are a lot of different forms of acne that comes out in the skin. We have- blackheads, whiteheads, cystic, papules, pustules, fungal and more…. The list can actually seem endless.

Now it’s important to understand, treating acne typically needs medical attention. You will need medical grade products along with procedures to see a difference in your skin and help your breakouts from coming back.
Lets Beat Those Pimples
Another crucial part of controlling acne breakouts is understanding that your skin still needs moisture! If you strip your skin down with common over the counter products or alcohol and astringent based toners chances are you’re actually making your acne a lot worse!
Seeing your local esthetician can quickly get you on the right track to clearing your skin up. If you’re suffering with acne breakouts of any sort, it’s recommended to receive facials regularly, at least once every four weeks, to help exfoliate your skin.
Even with oily skin, you should be applying a lightweight non-comedogenic moisturizer at least once a day so you’re skin doesn’t try to overproduce oil, creating more sebum to clog your pores.
