      About the Author

      Introduction

      I love skincare. But I don’t get a facial every month (or even every year!) and I can't remember the last time I used a facemask. I love skincare because I've experienced the transformative effect it can have on your skin, and your confidence, when you find the right routine. 

      I have one goal for this book – to get you to use skincare products that are not for acne-prone skin. Since this book is called Skincare for Acne-Prone Skin that probably seems odd. Let me explain.

      Skincare products targeting acne-prone skin are often very harsh. And if all of your skincare products are formulated to treat acne, it’s like a daily assault on your delicate skin. You would be angry, inflamed and irritable too if someone kept whacking you in the face morning and night.

      This will be hard for some of you to hear. Those products are the only thing keeping your skin from getting worse, right? Actually, probably not. There’s a good chance they’re making your skin worse.

      I suffered with acne for a decade before I figured out how to use skincare to help. When you have acne, skincare isn’t a pleasure. It’s a chore. It’s something you do every day, even though it doesn’t seem to make a difference. At least that was my experience. And it’s the experience I now see others having.

      I write about skincare at www.thelifestylecircle.com and in my book, Eating Habits for Healthy Skin. My acne cleared significantly once I began practicing the habits in that book. Skincare was the final piece of the puzzle that took me from hating my skin to truly appreciating what it needed to get and stay healthy.

      Acne has both internal and external causes. Addressing the internal by looking at my eating habits transformed both my skin and my life in so many ways. I went from having aggressive and painful acne over every part of my face to clusters of spots on only three or four key areas, including my forehead and chin. This was brilliant, and it never occurred to me that my skin could be better than that. It was only by chance I discovered the power of skincare.

      When I changed how I approached skincare, and the products I used, my skin found its way back to a more balanced state. Achieving that balance healed my skin completely to give me a fresh, healthy complexion that I didn’t think was possible for me.

      You can find that balance too. And the first step is to stop using skincare for acne-prone skin.

      If you’re freaking out a bit, don’t worry. In this book, you will learn:

      Why skincare products for acne-prone skin are not helping your skin and often make the issue worse.

      The difference between skin type and skin condition, and why that’s such an important distinction when you have acne.

      What acne is and what causes it.

      Why balancing your skin is so important, what balanced skin feels like and how to get the right balance.

      The skincare ingredients to avoid.

      The products that are essential to achieving your best skin, plus a few optional extras you might want to consider.

      I want to show you the beauty of skincare when the right products are matched with the right skin type. You can improve your skin. It will take a few changes in your life, but when you see and feel the difference, it will be worth it.

      My story

      I struggled with acne for ten years. I attribute it to an issue with my gut, thanks to monthly doses of antibiotics to deal with recurring tonsillitis in my teenage years. The steps I took to get my gut in better shape are the subject of my book Eating Habits for Healthy Skin. Making a few simple tweaks to what and how I ate had a dramatic effect on my skin.

      The right skincare routine cleared my skin completely, and it started with a hotel facial.

      I was on holiday and the package included a facial. I went along at my allotted time for my first-ever facial. In my initial consultation, I told the therapist about my oily skin and the trouble I had with acne. A few minutes into my facial, the therapist told me that my skin wasn't oily, it was dry. 

      Honestly, I was pretty dismissive about this. I had spent many years dealing with oily skin. All my skincare products were for acne-prone skin. I carried blotting papers with me everywhere to soak up the extra oil on my face and had to touch up my makeup several times throughout the day. I enjoyed the facial but changed nothing about my skincare routine afterwards.

      On my next holiday, the hotel we were staying in had a spa. I went for a facial – my second ever. Although I had dismissed the comments from my previous facial about my skin being dry, they stayed with me and I was keen to see what another therapist would say. 

      Again at the pre-treatment consultation, I
