Many of us have suffered from acne at one time or another, but there are many different variants, each with a different cause and treatment. It is therefore important to find out which form of acne is disturbing your sleep, that way you can best get to the root of the problem and choose the right approach for you.
What are all the different types of acne?
There are quite a few. Here is a list. In our upcoming blog on Acne: how to get rid of it you can read about what you can do about it.
Most types of acne are caused by hormonal fluctuations. So it is important to keep your hormones in balance.

Acne makes you feel insecure
Acne is especially bothersome and makes many people insecure about their appearance. MOTHR EARTH PROOF® skin care prevents and soothes most forms of acne very well. The only kind where you cannot use oil-based products are the fairly rare yeast pimples or yeast acne. This form of acne grows as soon as oil is involved.
All our products are non-comedogenic and prevent acne and outbreaks them and treat impurities and reduce inflammation. Oily skin comes back into balance and through our approach the skin starts to produce less sebum as sebum production comes to rest.
