Juliet asked if a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but would a pimple by any other name be less annoying? No.

You could have a face full of “roses” and it would still be the worst thing-ever.

Thankfully, there are a miriad of products out there to choose from to combat those tiny devils and this week I’ll share my favorites and what I’ve learned along a bumpy road of breakouts…

If you’re starting to break out more frequently then say once a month, carefully consider everything you’re putting on your face.

Primer, for example, can be the clog to your pores. Sometimes that stuff that gets your skin so smooth and foundation ready can be laying the ground work for a very annoying structure errecting (and later errupting) all over your skin.

Thus, if you’re having problems stop using it.

Another good thing to keep in mind, is if you are starting to break out stop using one product at a time that way you can pin point the enabler.
