To Your Health: Acne

PRINCE GEORGE — Having clear skin is goal that many strive for, but for many acne can take hold of their lives, but it does not have to be this way.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It is most common in teenagers, but for some it can be a lifelong journey.

Dr. Pieter Slabbert, owner of SKIN Prince George, says that a daily skin care regime is needed to make sure that your skin can heal. Going on a daily regime, can mean using just a couple of good, quality products. Slabbert says that some of the products you find on the shelves, may provide only temporary relief.
