Friends and Their Acne

What do you do when a friend, female or male, has horrid acne but seems unaware or unconcerned? Do you say something? Mind your own business?

Me, I’ve even given out my card to a young kid bagging groceries in a grocery store and told him I’d treat him for free. That’s how much I hate seeing someone stuck with a face full of acne scars later.

My vote is to say something. Or, send them to the Acne Test at SkinTour.com. If they have the more serious forms of it, the test will tell them to see a dermatologist!

Ask Me Something
SkinTour Skincare
One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
