Got acne? The culprit may be hormones, which ebb and flow throughout a woman's life rather than stabilize as they do in men. Also to blame: stress, which raises hormone levels. One thing you needn't stress about is controlling the condition. New remedies make it easier to get the clear skin you've always wanted. For starters, cleanse daily using a facial wash with salicylic acid. And avoid gel cleansers and granulated scrubs, which strip the skin of oil, making it overcompensate and produce more. If you have a blemish, dab on a spot corrector with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which kills surface bacteria and dries oil. And don’t forget to apply a moisturizer with SPF 15 or higher.
