    Lack of sleep adds to stress, and stress adds to acne breakouts.

    If you’re looking for accurate acne information, best to see a dermatologist. Some people believe doctors are predisposed to take the easy way to deal with acne… prescription drugs. But, with many, this simplistic answer may not be the appropriate course of action. Some feel that such prescription drugs just treat the symposium and not the underlying cause. But, a local dermatologist is still your best starting point.

    For me personally, I discovered a great informational acne treatment site. Not only is there good information/articles but I got their audio e-book and following it’s advice can now say that my acne is a thing of the past! Keep in mind, were all different and there are various types of acne, so what works for some may not be totally effective for all.

    Bottom line, hang in there, you will get past this! Sincere best wishes and good luck.

    Oh, by the way the site that helped me is:

    Right now my skin is perfectly clear, for the first time in 3 years. It's been about 9 weeks and all my acne is gone. It is such a great feeling to wake up with clear skin.

    I know it does from experience. I started breaking out bad in the hospital when I was learning to take care of my premie twin babies. They would both cry at one time and I would not know how to handle things like which one to go to first. I was feeling so overwhelmed and stressed . I could actually feel little dots of pain on my face all over. I would look in the mirror and be totally broken out and they looked just like acne , not hives.

    I have been taught that acne can be caused by hormonal imbalances...also the harmful chemicals in shampoo, shower gels, toothpaste and any thing else you use on your skin.

    Email me for more help....I know a few people who have got rid of it as well as me.
