Acne
101: Today's Treatments are Spot On!  Whether
enduring an occasional flare up or an intense case of cystic acne, reportedly
85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 suffer from acne. Still, many
people don't completely recover from this "disorder" until they reach their thirties.
Even if you don't consider an occasional that-time-of-the-month breakout to be
acne (your dermatologist probably would), chances are zits are something you could
do without. Help is on the way...
Banish the Blemish
If pimples
are more of an occasional annoyance, we've got tips on how to cure and conceal
these little complexion crashers. First up, whiteheads; based on everything every
other expert on the earth says, we should be telling you not pop these pesky pimples
but we can't think of anything less realistic. Plus, anyone who has ever tried
to conceal a whitehead knows that it is basically impossible. So, while we do
not want to discuss pimple popping techniques, suffice it to say that if you MUST,
cleanliness is king: clean face, clean hands, clean everything to avoid spreading
bacteria and worsening your condition. When it comes to whiteheads, prevention
is key, opt for a mild cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Blackheads
are a bit more difficult and for our money, they are best left to be exiled by
an experienced esthetician. Preventing blackheads is tough, but with regular maintenance
you can keep skin mostly blackhead free. Expert Help: When you really
need help, turn to an expert. Here are our picks for the best acne treatments
