From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

I consider my skin fairly sensitive, so I carefully watch what I put on it. This makes it doubly hard when treating acne, though. Acne treatment products and medications don't typically play nice with sensitive skin types.

So what's a sensitive-skinned person to do? This week's newsletter will give you some tips!

Treating Acne in Sensitive Skin
You can get your acne under control without overly irritating your skin. You just have to pay extra attention to what you're putting on your skin (and how you're using it). These 5 tips will show you how.

Am I Allergic To Benzoyl Peroxide?
Benzoyl peroxide is probably the most popular go-to acne treatment. But for sensitive skin types, it can be troublesome. How can you tell if you're having normal side effects or if you're actually allergic?

Treating Acne In Dry Skin
Sometimes our skin reacts to products simply because it's too dry. How can you up the moisture level while still fighting breakouts?

Review: Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisture for Sensitive Skin
Here's a product that might be perfect for you. It's formulated just for sensitive skin types, and it's oil-free so it won't clog your pores. It's become one of my favorite moisturizers.

From Angela Palmer, your Guide to Acne

Warm weather makes my normally "normal" skin turn into an oil slick. So, during the hot weather months I become addicted to my astringent.

I figured many of you probably have the same problem. So, I'm dying to share with you some of the newest astringents I've tried. (You'll also get some tips on how to deal with oily skin.)

On a brighter note -- did you know oily skin doesn't wrinkle as easily as dry skin? Score one point for us!

Review: Neutrogena Stress Control Triple Action Toner
I already have a ton of Neutrogena products on my bathroom shelf, but it's the first time I've tried this particular toner. Find out what I thought of it.

Review: Alba Botanica Natural Acnedote Deep Clean Astringent
And, because I'm a sucker for eco-friendly skin care products, this astringent jumped off the shelf at me. Was it worth the price?

Does Rubbing Alcohol Make a Good Toner?
Many people use rubbing alcohol as an astringent. After all, it kills germs, removes oil, and is super cheap. But what is it really doing to your skin?

Do I Really Need a Toner?
At this point you may be wondering what the fuss is all about. Do you really need to use a toner anyway? Surprisingly, no.

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,

~ Angela


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?

What's Your Favorite Facial Sunscreen?
Readers respond! Have you found the perfect facial sunscreen? Tell us which brands you love, and why it's the best.
