OILY/COMBO - TEENAGERS - WHAT TO USE?

Blemishes and breakouts.  People with these problems need to be diligent about their daily cleansing routine.  The hardest group to teach this to is teenagers. It's just so hard to remember to take care of your face before bed (or anytime). In the long run, a little effort at this juncture will pay off in high dividends. Take Joe. He is 17 and has very problem skin at times. He is heavy into sports and just can't get into the low dairy - low sugar -low fat thing).  However, he is now very diligent about cleansing with a light exfoliating cleanser (AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser) and using Herbal Astringent (when he remembers).To get him to use a separate exfoliating product was impossible, so the use of an exfoliating cleanser works well. Even though he has combo skin, his skin can feel dry at times so Sage and Citrus Moisturizer does the trick. Sage and Citrus is very light and oil free. The sage, watercress and lemon bioflavonoids help to purify his skin. Boys and men tend to like the smell of this moisturizer and feel it's for "them" (but actually it's for anyone). The Roll-on Blemish Treatment stick makes it easy for quick application to his breakouts. It's transparent and rides in his pocket. So, kudos to Joe.  You're looking great!!
 (Joe:  Over-the-counter SPF can make people break out.  Try our oil-free Advanced Protection SPF 30 instead.)
