From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

My resolution for this year was to wear sunscreen regularly. (Honestly, it's because I'm starting to see sun damage. ACK!)

I wish I would have worn sunscreen regularly before now. But it's never too late to start!

This week's newsletter is all about sun protection -- and how to choose the right products.

Until next week,

Do I Really Need a Sunscreen?
Even if you don't typically burn, wearing sunscreen daily can do great things for your skin... like staving off aging.

How To Choose a Sunscreen (That Won't Break You Out)
Sunscreen products have come a long way. They aren't all oily and greasy. And some are made specifically for acne-prone skin.

Does Your Acne Medication Cause Sun Sensitivity?
Besides, many acne treatments make the skin more sensitive to the sun. Does yours?

Are you struggling with side effects from your acne treatments, or are the treatments just not working the way you would like? This week's newsletter is for you!

Let's trouble-shoot those acne treatment problems, and help get your treatment back on track.

If you have something specific that isn't covered, feel free to drop by the Acne Forum and post your question.

Benzoyl Peroxide Is Drying Me Out
Benzoyl peroxide is a popular and effective acne treatment. The good news is, you can get it over the counter. The bad news is, it's drying. As in red-peeling-lizard-skin drying.

Retin-A Is Making Me Peel
One of my personal favorites: Retin-A. But even I can't deny the fact that it can burn, sting, and make you peel like crazy.

My Prescription Treatment Isn't Working
But more annoying than a treatment side effect is no effect. What should you do if your prescription medication just isn't doing anything for your skin?


Should I Go Back to the Dermatologist?
If you're treatments aren't working, it's normal to feel a bit frustrated with your dermatologist. After all, your derm is the one who gave you these medications. Before you throw in the towel, here's why you should give your dermatologist another go.
