Occasionally, even over the counter skincare products for acne can be harsh on skin.

Finding an effective acne regimen is made easier with an understanding of what each of the tools in your toolbox provide, how to properly use them, while mindfully providing a balance in the skin barrier. Moisturizers MUST BE oil free and non-comedogenic or the rest of your regimen will not work. It’s important to become an expert in reading labels, just as we do for nutritional purposes to understand and be selective of what is going in and on our bodies. The same principles apply to sunblock, with the caveat that mineral blocks not only provide more protection, but less irritation and comedogenicity.
