CONTEST IS OVER! CONGRATS TO sloan shock #50!!!

So, Summer is over, or nearly, and many are ALREADY back at school! Wow, time flies! You have all your school supplies, clothes and shoes, but are you thinking of your skin? For many teens, it is time to think about their skin.

As bodies change and style is of utmost importance, appearance is a huge deal to teenagers.  During this time, any capable mother can feel a little lost about how to handle all the changes their child is going through.  A new study, conducted by Proactiv, reveals these shocking stats:

Did you know?

• 66% of moms would feel worse if their teen had acne for an entire semester than if their teen didn’t have a date to the prom
• 66% of moms think they know more about how their teen feels about school than their looks
• 65% of moms believe their teens know more about algebra than how to prevent or treat their acne
• 52% of moms who have acne-prone teens feel sad or helpless (49%) when their teens breakout
• 49% of moms believe they are better suited to help with their teen’s homework than assist them in dealing with their acne
• 46% of moms who experienced acne as a teen feel worse about their teens inheriting appearance problems than health issues
• 41% of moms would give up an hour of sleep every night for a year to ensure that their teen has eternally clear skin

Dr. Alyson Levine, a dermatologist from Chappaqua, NY, who specializes in treating teenage acne, believes that teens and their moms need some additional schooling when it comes to treating acne.  As you’re planning your back-to-school features, Dr. Levine is available to discuss her acne tips for moms:

o   Know what to look for

o   Start treatment early

o   Don’t minimize acne insecurities

o   Treatment options – including Proactiv

I have been using Proactiv for a few years now. I always have it in my medicene cabinet if I see acne creeping up. I do use other things now too, to prevent acne, but I think that Proactiv will always be something I will use on my face to ward off the dreaded zits. So, I like Proactiv and it really does work.

Nothing like going back to school with clear skin and a great attitude!! So, what are you waiting for? If you or your teen or you know of someone who suffers from acne, check out Proactiv!
