ABOUT SKINACEA

Skinacea.com is a free website (no e-book selling gimmicks, I promise!) with all the information I've learned about acne and skin throughout the years to hopefully help someone beautify and clear their own skin. The name Skinacea comes from skin + panacea.....a little cheesy, I know, but it's grown on me!

Most of the information I've written on Skinacea comes from personal experience or whatever I've picked up about skin while trying to treat my acne. While I think acne can be a curse, there is a silver lining. If I never had acne, I would never have known about all the skincare things that I know today! And that includes anti-aging, sunscreen, retinoids, and even homemade recipes. So Skinacea isn't just a site for acne, but a site for all sorts of skincare concerns.

I really hope everyone is able to enjoy and utilize all the information here! It's taken me a lot of time to write everything down and actually build this website (formerly computer-illiterate here!) so please enjoy! It's not perfect, but I will try to improve the site whenever I have time.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

I am not affiliated with any of the products mentioned on Skinacea. These products are simply ones I've found that are well-tolerated by most people and get pretty good reviews.

I, by no means, am a dermatologist, so information on Skinacea should not be considered medical advice, nor should it replace consultation by a qualified dermatologist.

*Sending good skin vibes to everyone out there!*
