Your acne skin care routine will make or break how successful you are at treating it. To understand how best care for your acne prone skin, it helps to know what acne is in the first place. Simply put, acne is a condition where clogged pores become irritated and inflamed and cause bumps and pimples. This often occurs when dirt, oil, and dead skin clog the pores.

The best acne skin care routine is one that cleanses the skin by removing dirt and oil and also helps control excess oil. It also includes a weekly exfoliation regimen as well as moisturizing and protecting the skin from the sun and the environment. Each skin care program should include

• A good cleanser

• Toner, a product that restores the PH balance after washing

• An effective exfoliation product

• Moisturizer that also contains an SPF of at  least 15

You should wash, tone, and moisturize and protect your skin twice a day. Any more than that and it might encourage your skin to over-produce oil. Most dermatologists recommend exfoliating twice a week with a gentle product.

Each manufacturer has its own products and methods. For example, some companies lump the cleanser and toner in the same product. Others lump the cleanser, toner, and exfoliation product in the same product. Still some leave all three steps as separate products. Each company designs their products to work together. Before you get started buying products it is important to visit with your dermatologist to get advice and the proper diagnosis.

There are two basic types of products – those that contain synthetic and those that don’t. Taking a natural approach for your skin care is preferred especially if a large portion of the ingredients are organic.

However, understand that not every acne skin care product is going to be right for your skin. You may try several brands before settling on the one that gives you the best results. And once you do decide to try one be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for proper use and the advice given to you by your doctor.
