I was reading my nephew’s blog earlier this week, and although he’s 24, he was blogging about acne. Join the club, kid. Join the club! I don’t know why I ever thought that acne would magically end once I turned 18, but obviously I was wrong, wrong, wrong! And my oldest, who will be 12 this year, is just experiencing her first breakouts. I don’t know how to tell her it’s going to get way worse, before it will get better. Just like this acne website says, there’s different kinds of acne, and my daughter, my nephew, and myself - well, chances are we’re all experiencing different kinds! The site has some great tips on prevention, as well as acne TREATMENT options, like Proactiv and prescription medications. (I have to say, I think I’ve tried it all at one point or another. The only thing that really worked for me was going on Accutane about 5 years ago. It changed my life! That said, I never tried Proactiv - it wasn’t really as big of a product back then, as it is now.)

Be sure to check out the myths section too. Perhaps you’ll want to read it while eating some chocolate, or after not washing your face. Or while tanning! (You’ll see what I mean when you read it!)
