Some of us continue to battle with acne when we are well into our thirties and in fact, acne outbreak can occur at any time. Acne can be caused by environmental factors, internal changes in hormonal levels as well as our genetic makeup. It doesn’t seem possible to cure acne once and for all but it is possible to control it. An effective acne control regime is daily facial cleansing and regular exercising. If you are planning on or are already pregnant, it is best to consult with the doctor before using any acne treatment due to the proven cases of birth defects caused by some known acne treatments (refer to my previous blog on acne treatment on pregnancy). For others who are not planning on being pregnant, an effective facial cleanser would be something that has benzoyl peroxide along with a facial cream of salicylic acid. I found this quite effective in both cleansing out and controlling acne breakout. One recommendation is Johnson & Johnson Clean and Clear acne cleanser as well as its acne control lotion.
