Acne is a skin condition that develops when pores become clogged with dirt and oil. It can happen at all stages of life, but is most prevalent during the teen years when hormones throw everything out of balance. Even the occasional breakout can have emotionally devastating results, and when the condition is severe, it can lead to permanent scarring. The key to treating acne is to hit it where it begins – deep within the pores and the best time to treat it is now.

During the summer months, acne tends to improve, especially with the help of a good skincare regimen. Daily cleansing, weekly exfoliating, and proper sunscreen protection help improve acne dramatically. If you don't already have a regular acne treatment routine in place, or even if you do, it's time to ramp up the attack with quality acne-fighting products and take advantage of what summer has to offer.

Treat acne effectively and quickly with products that contain acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and glycolic acid. These types of ingredients loosen the debris that clogs pores. With regular use, and the help of Mother Nature's warmest season, pores clear and appear smaller, and acne breakouts lessen or even disappear. Once you begin seeing clearer skin with a regular acne-fighting routine, keeping acne at bay is easy.

Astonishing Skincare carries a large selection of acne products designed to help you treat your acne and prevent future breakouts. Products like Dermalogica Clearing Skin Wash and La Roche-Posay Effaclar K Acne Treatment contain active acne-fighting ingredients that clear pores and leave skin blemish free and in better shape than before.

While treating your acne, you may want something that covers well. Jane Iredale Glow Time Full Coverage Mineral BB Cream is perfect because it provides superior coverage of blemishes, large pores, and wrinkles for a smooth, flawless finish.

If acne is a problem for you, begin a targeted skincare routine now. Summer isn't going to last forever, but you can begin to see clearer, brighter skin before fall, thanks to Mother Nature and Astonishing Skincare.
