From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

This week, I've put together a few articles to help you keep your skin happy throughout the cold winter months. Plus, there are some pieces on how to remember your treatments during the holidays, and what to say when someone makes "helpful" (yeah, right!) comments about your skin.

Keep up with your treatments!

~ Angela


Cold Weather Skin Care Tips
Winter officially starts the 21st, but nature doesn't take time to look at a calender. It's already cold. My skin knows it. Acne treatments that don't typically bother me are really making my skin dry. What about yours?

Video: Tips for Moisturizing Acne-Prone Skin
The best thing to do to combat dry skin -- moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. But you might be hesitant to put anything on your skin, especially a heavy cream. Moisturizing properly won't break you out, though. This video shows you how.

Remember Your Treatments (Even When You're Super Busy)
This time of year, you're probably always on the go: gifts to buy, parties to attend, friends and family visiting. It's easy to forget to use your acne treatments. Here's how to keep your treatment schedule on track.

Dealing With Unwanted Skin Care "Advice"
You'll be seeing many far-flung friends and relatives this holiday season. It's fabulous, until they start trying to "help" you clear up your acne with lots of well-meaning (but totally unwanted) skin care advice. Here's how you can respond.

Skin Care



From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

There is only one thing I hate more than acne -- acne scars. Unfortunately, I scar easily (something my children seem to have inherited from me). Even a relatively small pimple can cause a depressed scar. Ugh!

If you're dealing with residual scars (or are hoping to prevent them) this week's newsletter is for you.

Keep up with those treatments this week!

What Causes Scarring?
I'm a reformed (usually) pimple-popper. I really used to go nuts picking and squeezing at my skin. But I've noticed that even pimples I've never touched can cause a scar. Why?

Acne Scar Treatments
As of yet, we don't have any 100% perfect scar treatment techniques. That's the bad news. The good news is, there are treatments that can greatly improve scarring.

Acne Scar Types
Acne scars can be raised, depressed, pitted, or simply discoloration. The type of scarring dictates the type of treatment needed.

How To Prevent Scarring
Of course, we never want to develop scarring in the first place. While we might not be able to prevent all scarring, there are definitely steps we can take to minimize it.

From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

My acne wasn't widespread -- it tended to be centralized on my cheeks and jawline. But the breakouts weren't tiny. They were red, inflamed and obvious.

If this sounds like your skin, you probably have moderate acne. My moderate acne cleared up and yours can too, with the right treatment.

Until next week,

~ Angela


What Is Moderate Acne?
Maybe you're asking yourself is my acne moderate, mild, or severe? Knowing the grade of your acne is the first step in treating it.

Inflamed Blemish Types
One thing that separates moderate acne from more mild breakouts is the amount of inflammation. Who knew there are actually different types of inflammatory breakouts?

Treatment Options for Moderate Acne
Moderate acne can be treated very successfully. Here are some of the best treatment options, and where you can get them.

Video: How To Treat Moderate Acne
You'll also want to take a look at this video. In it, Dr. Debra Jaliman describes how moderate acne is treated, both at-home and in-office.
