Tweet I’m really trying to eliminate coffee from my diet lately. Not only because I load it with creamer, sugar and stevia as an artificial sweetener (I use both real sugar and fake since it helps it taste a little more authentically sweet), but I also, for whatever reason, break out from drinking coffee and not from drinking green tea. They are both caffeinated, I guess it’s just that coffee is a little more intense perhaps on the caffeine content. Another reason I prefer drinking green tea is because it is such a subtle, light flavor, and you don’t...

Get Your Oil Blotters Ready!
Tweet It’s almost summer time, and you know what that means, especially if you’ve had oily skin your whole life (at least after puberty, like I have). It means that your skin will shine like the dickens by midday if you don’t have something handy to blot out the shine and mop up that excess sebum production that shows itself in the form of a shine-arific face. I know this all too well. I can’t tell you how many pictures I’ve looked at of myself, especially outdoors when it’s humid and sticky, in the summer, where I have an...
Press Release on New Laser Skin Treatment
Tweet I got this press release info in my email, so I thought I would share it with all my readers. It’s about a new aesthetic laser treatment for scarring, and you guessed it – acne scarring, so I thought it perfect for you to peruse. Here’s the letter along with the actual press release and product info : My name is Christina with The Jenn Lee Group. I am writing to you regarding a topic of interest that I would like you to consider for Acne Magazine online. Dr. Frankel of Rejuvaderm MediSpa in Cranston, Rhode Island...
Is Dairy Really Bad for Your Skin?
Tweet I just read an interesting article about Alanis Morisette, written by her, about her struggles with two eating disorders when she was younger – bulimia and anorexia. While eating right and exercising was the main focus of her article, she also brought up a fact that I remember hearing and even bandying about in my mind when I was younger. The theory (I shouldn’t have said fact, I don’t believe it’s been medically proven, although it may be true for some people), is that milk and dairy products actually are bad for your skin and can cause and...
Acne Masks at Home
Tweet I wrote an article that was recently published that I thought you might enjoy reading. It’s about a simple way to make at-home acne masks that help to soothe, exfoliate and infuse your skin with radiant glowiness. Best part is they’re dirt cheap. I also just recently added two new pages to AcneMag. One is about natural acne masks, and the other is about acne fighting moisturizers, because I believe your moisturizer is one of the most important parts of your acne skin care routine. Here is the article : There are so many great home made and...
Gotta Love the “Cyclops Zit”
Tweet Sometimes you just have to laugh at the irony of life. You know, the events that tend to happen exactly when you don’t want them to, like getting sick on the one day you really didn’t want to at school, when there was the cool field trip that you were looking forward to in grade school? Or maybe when you get a huge pay raise right before you were going to tell your bosses that you were moving out of state. You know, that kind of stuff, or along that vain of thinking. The Cyclops Zit, as I...
Getting a Sample of InviCible Scars Treatment to Try Out
Tweet I am soon going to be getting a sample of the new scarring treatment product that was created in part by a plastic reconstructive surgeon called InviCible Scar to try out. I was told by a rep for the company, who offered to send me a free sample in exchange for an honest review of their product, that the product works well on scars that are not as old, but it can still also lighten older scars that may be pigmented deeper than the rest of your skin. I thought it might be useful for this blog, as...
Going off the Pill and Getting Bad Acne?
Tweet I noticed an interesting short article – well actually a Q&A where a reader asks a qualified doctor a question, on one of the news sites I frequent the other day. This one of course caught my eye because it was about acne, more specifically it was about acne in a woman who was probably in her forties or late thirties, somewhere thereabout. You’ll see why I came to that conclusion when you read what it was about. Many women have experienced the improvement that being on certain birth control pills can provide in their acne problems. A...
Dry Air Can Wreck Havoc on Your Skin
Tweet Boy oh boy, was the point of dry frigid air not being good for your skin hammered home for me today. My husband and I decided to go to our alma mater where we both went to college, Kent State University, to the ice arena and go ice skating. Yes, neither of us is very good at it, and haven’t been in a while, so we though it would be fun to see if we could still do it. Well, to make a long story short to that end, he ended up falling on his bum several times,...
Acne Wins Top Spot for Skin Disorders
Tweet Oh, lucky us who have had acne for years and years, at least we know we are in abundant company, since acne has won (again) the top spot for the most common of all skin disorders. I supposed the silver lining to that fact is that it is also the least hazardous skin condition, it’s just one of the most embarrassing and pervasive since it usually occurs on the face, our body part that is exposed to the world every day, by which we are judged and scrutinized by some. Acne, out of the top five skin disorders,...
