Acne. It's the dreaded condition that affects almost everyone at some point in their life. Sometimes it can be controlled by changing your skin care regime, and other times you may require the use of prescription medications to keep your skin clear. We have some tips to help you keep your skin looking clear and beautiful in the New Year.

Preventative measures:

• Wash your pillowcases and facecloths often. Bacteria can build up on these items and clog your pores, causing or aggravating acne.
  
  
• Keep your hair away from your face. Oils and hair products can coat your skin and block your pores.
  
  
• Remove your make-up and wash your face before bed time. If you leave your make-up on day and night, your skin will never have the chance to "breathe" properly.
  
  
• Wash your face right after a workout. Sweat can trap the bacteria and dirt on your face, so the sooner you wash it off, the less amount of impact it will have on your skin.
  
  

• Certain face washes contain acne fighting formulas. Astringents can be used to help prevent the formation of blackheads.
  
  
• Taking birth control pills can regulate hormones and improve your complexion.
  
  
• For moderate to severe acne, prescription medication may be the answer. It would be a good idea to consult with a doctor to see if antibiotics, or other prescription medications such as Tazorac are right for you.
  
  

At Westcoastskin we have a wide variety of products to keep your skin looking beautiful. If you have moderate to severe acne, talk to your physician about your skincare concerns to see if prescription products are the right treatment option for you. Acne doesn't have to be a dreaded word anymore, with the right treatment it can be a thing of the past!
