From sweet 16 to fabulous 40 and beyond, acne is a condition that affects almost everyone at some time in their lives.
It’s important to remember that acne has both internal and external causes,However, there are some basic precautions you can take to help prevent breakouts.”
•Don’t pick, pop or squeeze, or otherwise mess with your skin. Squeezing blemishes or whiteheads can lead to infection or scarring. It almost always makes the acne you have worse.
•Wash your pillowcase often and always use clean face towels. Dirty towels and pillowcases can harbor bacteria and germs that can make acne worse.
•Be sure to pull your hair away from your skin when you sleep.
•Try to shower as soon as possible after your workout since sweat combined with skin oils can trap dirt and bacteria in your pores.
•Don’t go to bed with makeup on. It can clog your pores and lead to breakouts.
•Make sure to clean cosmetic brushes regularly in soapy water and throw out old, contaminated makeup.
•Use topical treatments,anywhere that you tend to get breakouts -- don't just spot-treat existing pimples. The pore-clogging process happens two to three weeks before any blemish becomes visible on the skin.
Because acne is caused by a combination of factors, including internal triggers that can cause imbalances inside the body, and an overproduction of oil and trapped bacteria on the outside, the most effective way to treat it is by addressing both areas
•Exercising regularly can help reduce stress and it increases blood circulation and oxygen penetration to the skin, which may help to prevent acne.
•Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day to help "detoxify" the body from the inside out.
By taking these simple precautions, most people can reduce the occurrence of acne. There are also a variety of products available to help in healing or preventing breakouts. However, consumers should be careful about what they choose to use.

Important facts!
Mandelic acid
has a long history of use in the medical community as an antibacterial.It has also been used as an oral antibiotic. In skin care, it is also an alternative to glycolic acid in skin care products. Mandelic acid is also advantageous in that it possesses antibacterial properties, whereas glycolic acid does not. Its use as a skincare modality was pioneered by Dr James E. Fulton, who developed vitamin A acid (tretinoin, Retin A)in 1969.On the basis of this research, dermatologists now suggest mandelic acid for a wide variety of skin concerns, from acne to wrinkles; it is especially good in the treatment of adult acne as it addresses both of these concerns. Mandelic acid is also recommended is a pre- and post-laser treatment, reducing the amount and length of irritation caused by laser resurfacing.
What Results To Expect From Power Peel Microdermabrasion Unit?
Some specialists who have used the Power Peel microdermabrasion machine say that the Power Peel equipment does work on fine lines, wrinkles and pigmentation, seborrhea and psoriasis, dull and blemished skin. They also say that the system can be used successfully on the whole body.
We found a preliminary Power Peel report, written by dr. Steven B. Hopping illustrating results from a case study carried out in Philadelphia, in November 1996. Four patients were treated for blotchy skin, mild to moderate wrinkles, acne scarring, and enlarged pores.
The clinical results showed:
More uniform skin tone
Fewer wrinkles, especially around the mouth and eyes
Scars were less noticeable
Pores were less prominent
The skin was overall softer and smoother
