If you need a really good acne treatment, you may want to try Cane + Austin Miracle Pads. They come in different formulations based on what your skin needs. With consistent use, they provide intensive an glycolic facial treatment clinically proven to exfoliate, even skintone, support natural collagen, and visibly reduce the appearance of age spots.

Cell phone use is something that no one can avoid. In the fast paced, communication driven world we are talking, texting and having lunch in the same hour. But if you notice that after talking on your cell that are you experiencing breakouts along your temples, cheeks or chin, you should be aware that these breakouts could be caused by oil buildup and bacteria transfers from your cell phone?s screen, computer keyboard or iPad.

Adult acne, typically found on the lower half of the face and not limited to the cheek and chin, is often caused by the transfer of bacteria from mobile devices to the face. Want to keep your complexion clear of these unsightly breakouts? It?s time to go from tech savvy to tech-sani, by sanitizing your tech devices.

Keep your tech devices bacteria and oil free with Tech Cleaning wipes, Wireless Wipes for your phone screen. Wireless Wipes are the only known sanitizer designed specifically to clean mobile phones, PDA’s, and laptop computer screens. They are fast drying to prevent moisture damage, non-streaking, non-corrosive, and come in three scents: green tea cucumber, rosemary peppermint and pomegranate citrus.

Another fun option is the Moshi Moshi POP Phone that keeps your hands totally off of your face and on the call. These brightly colored retro style phone handsets are designed by French designer David Turpin. Designed in the style of the 1950s Bakelite telephone, Moshi Moshi phones are available in blue, purple, yellow, green and pink. All of the handsets are finished off with a ?soft touch?, and take you back to being a teen – but not with the skin to go with! Oh and PS, if you love to Skype for phone calls, you can also connect your headset by a USB adaptor.

In addition to using a clean cell phone or the Moshi Moshi alternative, avoid using finger-tips to touch your face throughout the day and instead, use the back of your hands whenever possible. This might feel odd but, the natural oils from finger-tips creates congestion in the pores causing breakouts and irritation when reintroduced to your skin?s surface.

Idle hands are the skin?s worst enemy. Picking and fidgeting with breakouts can cause inflammation and further irritation resulting in scaring and long lasting dark blemishes on the skin. If you are battling acne scars try Clinique?s Even Better Spot Corrector, Malin+Gotez Acne Treatment or Neutrogena’s On-The-Spot Acne Treatment to reduce long-term darkness, redness and scarring.

While working on your tech-sani phone cleansing and skin regimen, your tech-sani routine off with Dermablend Makeup Cover-up, Inglot Concealer or Makeup For Ever HD Foundation with a clean makeup applicator for a long lasting cover-up to disguise your blemishes. Cover imperfections with HD Invisible Cover Foundation to invisibly camouflage flaws while nourishing the skin and protecting it from dryness.

Beauty is only skin deep, but people see the outside first! Remember, stay tech-sani and chic to keep your complexion clear!
