You know, acne is all well and good for teenagers (especially since I'm not one anymore), but adults just shouldn't have to deal with it, don't you agree? Sadly, nature does not, since almost half of adults over 25 have some acne, according to The International Dermal Institute.
So what can we do? I'm so glad you asked. Luckily, there's this handy little guide of everything you need to know about adult acne: what causes it and how you can get rid of it. Check it out in full here, or just look at a few of my favorite pieces of advice below:

In high school, I pretty much cleaned out the acne section of my local drugstore trying to find a cure for my lovely (ha!) zits. Although I'm sure my lack of patience didn't help much (most dermatologists say you should give acne products a solid month of use to see if they're right for you), I felt like I wasted a fortune and was still left applying a mountain of concealer each day. And really, even an amazing concealer like one of these can only do so much for a face full of zits, you know?
If you're living my high school nightmare right now (even if you're out of high school, because let's be honest, I've been out a long time and I still get the odd flare up), listen up: TotalBeauty.com readers have found the drugstore products that actually work! Sure, you could spend a fortune on high-end products or prescription creams, but these will deliver the results you want for way cheaper. Check them out below -- no more clearing out the Walgreen's shelves for you!

I'm so bummed. I've been using my cleanser for ages and I was convinced that it was getting my skin perfectly clean, but it totally wasn't. In retrospect, the near-constant breakouts should have been an indication that something was up, but I don't think I'm the only one who assumed that washing your face automatically gets rid of all the gunk.
Turns out, no, no it doesn't. It totally depends on what cleanser you use and your technique. If you're wondering whether your skin is "really clean" or just "fake clean," check out this quiz (it’s how I discovered my blunder in the first place). Then, check out these tips to keep your skin truly clean:

Sure, that second (er, fifth, whatever) margarita out by the pool seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I've got a lovely sunburn to show for it (not to mention the hangover, luckily this video can fix that).

I reluctantly put up with breakouts in high school (ever notice how they always popped up right before picture day, prom, any remotely-important social event?) but now that I'm a bit (OK, more than a bit) older, I've had enough. I'm tired of the pms-related breakouts, the stress-induced pimples, and the regular old zits that feel the need to visit from time to time.
I've decided to kick acne's butt -- and I have the products to do it. All of these gave TotalBeauty.com readers clear skin, and I'm determined to join their ranks. Need a little help in the acne department too? Click on any of these products below to see what they can do for you.
