Head Back to School With Clear Skin
skin wisdom from philosophy
don’t let time stop you from the best skin of your life

With school back in session, teens are starting to worry more about the appearance of their skin. It’s common for teenagers to experience acne and breakouts because they are at an age when the oil glands in the body produce more oil. When oil and skin cells plug up the hair follicles, bacteria gets trapped and the hair follicles swell, causing red bumps or pimples.

Common causes of acne and things that make it worse include:

• Hormonal changes associated with puberty
• Menstruation in women
• Stress and anxiety
• Wearing oil-based makeup, sunscreen or hair products
• Squeezing at pimples
• Scrubbing the skin harshly

For those who are young and fighting off blemishes, philosophy’s on a clear day super wash for oily skin is the cleanser of choice. This effective treatment wash for problem skin is formulated with colloidal sulfur, which is a natural antiseptic and oil absorber, and with camphor, which helps decongest pores. Using on a clear day super wash helps prevent pores from clogging by minimizing oil and wiping away dirt and grime while soothing and calming the skin. It does not remove makeup, so if you are wearing any, start by using a daily cleanser (try purity made simple) to completely dissolve makeup. Follow up with on a clear day super wash to completely wipe away dirt and oil until skin feels squeaky clean.

philosophy also has a treatment cream for any skin type that is experiencing breakouts. on a clear day h2o2 is a lightweight, hydrogen peroxide cream that treats the skin morning and night by deep cleaning the skin and reducing surface bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is a great disinfectant that helps create an environment in which bacteria cannot thrive and helps minimize breakouts, keeping skin looking clear without irritation. It's great for those who seek a gentler alternative to benzoyl peroxide. Simply cleanse the skin first in the a.m. or p.m. and then apply a light layer of on a clear day h2o2 cream all over the face and blend in until smooth. The lightweight formula will penetrate quickly, leaving the skin looking brighter and feeling refreshed.

You can find both the on a clear day super wash and the on a clear day h2o2 cream where ever philosophy products are sold.
