In reply to A. Please check the brand list, this is very product dependent and not all are safe. There are many already listed in there that are safe.

Thank you for the encouragement! And I just read your post on Bonding over Beauty--my library doesn't carry it, so I'm going to buy the e-book this evening! What a fantastic resource. Thanks again, Christine!

APE- that can be a hard talk! I HATED whenever it was brought up with me when I was a teen, though part of that might have been because it was my dad who brought it up (he's a pediatrician) and he was prescribing me things that I hated. (I had Gentamycin pads for my face, they made is super dry and tight, though they got rid of the pimples)

Anyways, you might want to check out Bonding over Beauty, it will help you navigate some of those tricky things over the next few years!

Thank you for the great info on acne! I've noticed that my 13-year-old daughter is developing acne on her forehead and back. I want to help her but I don't know how to talk to her about it–she is super sensitive about many things and I'm worried she will shut me out even though I'm trying to help (I do speak lovingly & gently to her). Wish me luck 🙂

Wonderful post thanks – so helpful! I LOVE using lavender and tea tree oil in acne washes and moisturizers (even have a really nice non greasy recipe for acne serum thats antibacterial) and like your ideas on calming iinflammation Cheers

This is excellent! I have had acne for 50 year (amazing but truly I've had it since I was 10 and am soon turning 60)and you have covered everything that they know today about acne. One the biggest lessons I learned was the need to always moisterize no matter how oily your face seemed. Like you explained so well, all those dry flakey cells are the devil when it comes to zit formation!

This is such great advice! I was prescribed Lymecyline antibiotics for my mild acne, and combined with a good ol' face wash every morning and night, my face has never been so clear!
Another great post!
