Skin Care Tip:
We always tell our clients to keep their skin hydrated, but there's so much more to that advice than just applying a  moisturizer.

If you have acne, you may be tempted to scrub, scrub and scrub some more in an effort to remove the blemishes quickly and permanently. Well, isn't that what cleanliness is about? Not at all! When we over-cleanse, we strip away the skin's natural defenses. Then, the skin tells the oil glands, "hey, I'm dry! Send some oil up here!"  and the oil glands go into overdrive. At the same time, the natural inflammatory response makes the skin red and irritated, and your pores close up. It gets complicated and messy, very quickly, as this vicious cleanse-and-irritate cycle progresses. Meanwhile, your acne looks worse than ever!
