"Acne Anxiety"

You've dreamed of clear skin. But day after day you find acne staring back at you in the mirror. You're not alone. Women of all ages suffer from persistent acne. Why? And what can be done about it. First, you need to understand what causes acne and what doesn't. Poor hygiene, oily skin, eating chocolate or fried, greasy foods - none of these common misconceptions cause acne.
