Teen acne is not only a problem which affects our social life. It also affects the way we feel inside. Whether an acne problem is serious or non serious, acne sufferers all feel self conscious about the way they look. This often leads to anxiety and can affect our self esteem in the long run.

For teens there is nothing more important then their social life. Having a healthy social life early on can hep build a foundation for a happier adult life. 

I remember the way I felt when I suffered from acne when I was in high school. I was horrified every morning to wake up and get ready for school. There were days I lied and told my mother I felt too sick to go to school.

I was scared to wake up because I didn't want to look at my face in the mirror to find new pimples growing on my face. My mom had to console me and tell me it wasn't that bad. The sad reality is that I know now today that it really wasn't that bad.

But when I was at that age and moment in time, a little bit of acne might as well be a lot of acne. If you are in your early to late teens and suffer from acne now then you know exactly what I am writing about.

I am sure you've searched far and wide on the Internet for serious acne cures. But I hate to break this to you but if you do not know this by now; there is no such thing as a cure for acne. If you see products or information with such hocu pocus claims then avoid them like the plague.

Like you, I have fallen for such claims before and have spent a lot of my hard earned money on false hopes. I have even tried many over the counter type acne creams and lotions but they did not work at all.

You see, everyone's face is different. We all have different face compositions. So in order for us to treat acne, we must find solutions that work for our specific skin condition.

I have used Mario Badescu's products before. What I like about their products is that they create skin lotions and creams that work for a variety of skin conditions. All we have to do is mix and match which types of products work for our skin conditions specifically.

My younger sister is a freshman in college and she asked me to help her figure out an acne treatment regimen. She did not really have a serious acne problem until the stress of acclimating to a new school and meeting new people caused her to break out.

To the left you will see pictures of each products I recommended my sister to use for her acne treatment regimen. To purchase these same acne treatment products here is their link Mario Badescu's Website.

1. First use Botanical Facial Gel to gently clean and exfoliate dead cells on the surface of your skin.
2. Mario Badescu's Special Cucumber Lotion is formulated to dry up existing blemishes and prevent new ones from forming. This lotion will also fight acne breakouts that is non drying and irritating.
3. Next use an oil free moisturizer. Skin needs to be re-moisturized after you have stripped away the bad oils. But you need to replace some moisture so use an Oil Free Moisturizer. There moisturizers will not clog your pores.
4. Use Cucumber Tonic Mask 2 to 3 times a week to draw out any extra impurities from your face.
5. Glycolic Foaming Cleanser is formulated with extracts for soothing benefits. With glycolic acid as an ingredient in this cleanser it will break down build ups from your skins surface. It also reduces minor discolorations and leaves your skin radiant and smooth.
