Can Women Outgrow Acne?

Watch this video with Paula Begoun to find out.

I think it's interesting (and maddening!) that men CAN "outgrow" acne, but with women's hormones fluctuating throughout life, we never really get to "outgrow" it. I use 5% benzoyl peroxide on my skin daily to PREVENT acne from forming and it works like a charm.

One skin care tidbit I like to tell my clients is that if you're "blessed" with acne late in life... into your 30's and 40's, it's generally true that your wrinkles will start a bit later than those who appear to "outgrow" their acne in their 20's. Fewer acne breakouts in your 30's GENERALLY seem to mean an earlier onset of wrinkle formation.
