Being Proactive Can Effectively
Prevent Acne Outbreaks

Why?

Stop and assess your skin care needs in order to develop an effective plan. . .

You can't beat that as a great side effect of a good skin rejuvenation regimen!

The hallmark of any effective anti-aging skin care routine incorporates gentle cleansing, exfoliation, skin hydration, rejuvenation treatments that encourage healthy skin cell growth and sun screen to protect the skin from future damage.

• Thorough yet gentle skin cleansing every day
  
  
• Toning with an antioxidant, vitamin A or AHA, BHA ingredient to remove any remaining oils or dirt from the surface of the skin
  
  
• Exfoliating away dead skin cells with an AHA, glycolic acid of 8% to 15% or BHA, salicylic acid of 1% to 2% along with a weekly microdermabrasion scrub.
  
  
• Keep skin well hydrated with rich moisturizer containing an antioxidant such as vitamin C as well as a vitamin A, (retinol) ingredient.
  
  
• Spot treat any emerging blemishes with an over-the-counter acne treatment that has benzoyl peroxide as an active acne fighting ingredient 
  
  
• Use the new Zeno Acne Clearing Device or the ThermaClear Acne Device: watch "how to" video at
  the end of this page.
  
  
• If necessary, gently swap the facial skin occasionally throughout the day with a toner to ensure a clean skin surface then re-apply your anti-aging antioxidant or vitamin A moisturizer
  
  
• For stubborn outbreaks turn to the more professional products such as Proactiv Solutions. (Although it does have a tendency to dry out the skin, especially aging skin, it does work wonders rather quickly).
  
  
• Steaming your skin a few times a week with a facial steamer or over warm water in the sink will open the pores for an extra deep cleansing.
  
  
• Use sunscreen each morning and re-apply throughout the day as necessary.

It will only take a few weeks for you to not only notice that your acne outbreaks have diminished significantly but that your overall skin tone has improved, in some case quite dramatically.
