Zap Zits with These Acne-Fighting Tips

I love getting beauty and style advice from real women.  And I recently received an email from Hot Mama Daily reader Djuana M. Daniel of Naperville, Illinois sharing her anti-acne skin care remedies for women of color.

Djuana, a business school administrator, offers the following tips:

“I’m a 45 year old woman of color and have had challenging skin with frequent acne breakouts since my teenage years. 

Over the years, I have tried everything from over the counter products to dermatologist prescriptions and I have finally found products that for the last few years have made a HUGE difference in my skin – Dr. Bronner’s Magic Pure Castile Classic Soaps and Kirk’s Natural Original Coco Castile Soap.  Both are very gentle to the skin, balancing it but not stripping it of natural oils. 

My issue with my skin had always been an overproductive sebaceous gland and these products have done the job for me in controlling the oiliness without creating dryness. Another product that I use faithfully to even out my skin tone is Carol’s Daughter Scar Butter.  I mix it with pure Vitamin E oil and it’s been very effective.”
