I have always had really good skin but I suddenly keep breaking out on mostly my forehead and chin. I also have really sensitive skin, and was wondering what acne solutions I should use??? I have tried pro active, clean n clear, and nutrigena and am out of ideas! Thank you!!!!!

Hi Donna

The first thing to do when treating acne is to have a plan, the one I would suggest is a 5 point plan as follows:

1. Cleanse your skin at least 3 times a day as follows: use soap and water but make sure the soap is very gentle and does not contain detergents or mineral oil. You can find one at various Natural or Organic skin stores. Blot your face dry with a towel don't rub it.

2.Exfoliate your skin using a facial polish - this helps to normalize oil production and improves the skin surface. Do this twice a week

3. Use a skin toner - this helps to remove and prevent blackheads by removing soap residues, impurities and make up residues, it also helps to restore the correct Ph value. You can use a spritzer or cotton wool buds to apply it.

4. Use a day and night acne cream which kills and prevents bacteria and at the same time moisturizes your skin.

5. Finally - Make-Up - try not to use make-up in the period when you are treating your skin. I know this will be difficult but it will pay off. If you must use make-up - use a make-up without mineral oil - use instead a dry mineral, natural ingredient based make-up.

All the above products can be found on the internet by searching for Natural or Organic Acne Treatment Products - but don't just go for the first ones you find, really search for products which comply with the steps I've shown above.
