In fact, it is possible that that adult - now affecting about 20 percent of the population and climbing - is caused by years of using harsh skin care treatment products that eventually result in dry skin, which then leads to acne. treatment products then further dry the skin and youre off into the vicious cycle of the cure becoming the cause. How do you handle this? As always, prevention is the easiest route - best done by choosing skin care treatment products that dont cause dry skin or other damage - but, no matter what your skin type, if you understand what causes acne, you will find it much easier to prevent, and cure.

In fact, youve actually added another problem: because dry skin is easily creased and develops fine lines and wrinkles, youve also accelerated the aging process. Blotting the excess oil may be just as effective and doesnt make the situation worse. Truthfully, if we simply stopped using harsh, chemical cleansing and other skin products, the incidence of would be greatly reduced. Switch to mild skin care treatment products that dont damage the skin and you could save yourself or your teenager the discomfort and embarrassment of
