Acne Cleanser Q & A for Your Loved Ones
Q: My pre-teen daughter is really self-conscious about her acne. She uses so many products to get rid of pimples, but I'm worried all of those chemicals will hurt her young skin. Is there an acne cleanser that isn't as harsh?
A: Being a pre-teen is hard, especially when the hormones kick in. Hormones are a major cause of acne, and it's a good idea to use an acne cleanser during this period. You're right to be worried about harsh chemicals damaging her young skin. Using a natural face cleanser will provide nourishing and beneficial results as well as oil production balance which will keep her pores from getting clogged. There are natural antiseptics like neem oil and turmeric that will fight breakout-causing bacteria, as well as soothe her sensitive skin.
Q: My best friend has really oily skin, and she uses a facial cleanser to try and keep her face from getting greasy. It works, but a little too well, because now her skin is dry and flaky. Is there something that can keep oil at bay, but not dehydrate her face?
A: This is a common occurrence when using an over-the-counter facial cleanser. Alcohols can zap zits, but ultimately leave sensitive skin irritated. You should recommend a natural face cleanser that has ingredients like geranium extract, which will help the skin's natural oil balance, and eucalyptus, which is well known for getting rid of that shiny T-zone and preventing a greasy complexion. A natural face cleanser is full of essential oils that will hydrate the skin so your friend's sebum gland will produce the right amount of oil to keep her skin healthy, not greasy.
Q: My mom is way past the years of acne, but every once in a while gets the occasional blemish. Should I recommend her an acne cleanser?
A: Blemishes happen at all ages. They can be caused by oil build up, bacteria, and environmental factors. To keep your mom's complexion breakout free, you should recommend an acne cleanser for combination skin. This will moisturize and nourish while getting rid of dirt and impurities and preventing clogged pores. Try Aspara's Herbal Face Cleanser for combination skin. This acne cleanser is full of neem oil and eucalyptus to prevent blemishes and hydrate the skin.
