My recommendations: natural skin care for acne

Even though I believe that a great skin care routine is only 25% of the total acne picture, I still talk about it all the time in my blog posts. Unfortunately, there is no miracle skin care treatment for acne BUT using a non-toxic, gentle routine can help calm inflammation and help speed up skin healing. As many of you regularly ask my recommendations for natural skin care for acne so I thought it was about time I compiled a huge resource of my favourite products in the US and UK for natural acne healing. Most of the recommendations below are products that I have used myself and high recommend, I always avoid hormone disruptors and other unnecessary ingredients as possible and always opt for the most effective ingredients that have been proven to have great results against acne.
