Stress And Acne – What To Do About It
Imagine waking up from your morning slumber and knowing that you have that school prom, that date, or a special event later that evening. You head to the mirror and see the zit on your chin.

Myths about acne treatment and make up

Many of you have probably heard claims from commercials, friends and family about miracle acne treatments that work overnight. Then there’s the grandma advise to avoid makeup altogether if you are prone to acne and use your inner beauty to dazzle the world….

How do you know when your foundation is harmful to your skin?

Foundation, considered one of the most important steps in most women’s makeup routine can cause or exacerbate pre-existing skin conditions such as acne.

Contouring is a technique that has long been hailed as the makeup technique to use if you want a more defined chiseled look. So why opt for reverse contouring and what is the difference between the two? More and more people are beginning to realize they can achieve a chiseled look while maintaining the natural feel with reverse contouring.

I want to stop taking the contraceptive pill, will AcnEase help to decrease new acne breakouts?
When you stop taking the contraceptive pill, you will create or increase a hormonal change and often at least temporary hormonal imbalance.

Oral contraceptive is a hormonal medicine and affects your hormonal balance not only when you take it but also for a while after you stop.

How to Lower Your Risk of Having More Breakouts after the Summer

It’s common knowledge for any Summer enthusiast that during this particular season, the risks of a breakout are especially high. While attending sunny picnics, summer barbeques, and other seasonal activities, we expose ourselves to considerable amounts of UV light (sun). We tend to dehydrate ourselves, overexert ourselves, eat to many deserts  and drink to alcohol ; all causes of acne. That’s why, during the summer, many of us take extra care into controlling breakouts.

Once summer ends, however, our guard drops. We think that just because the season has ended, so have the chances of acne appearing. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The risk of having a breakout is still present after summer has passed.
