For nearly a decade, Hummelstown resident Emily Watson-Grubb struggled with a severe case of acne. Although she only had the occasional pimple as a teenager, Watson-Grubb noticed the breakouts getting progressively worse at age 30, three years after the birth of her second child.

While women in their 20s face a myriad of skin issues, from acne to the first signs of aging, one of the most important things is to stick to a regimen.

Once those practices are set in place you can ensure much younger-looking skin in the years ahead.
6. If you’re still experiencing breakouts, spot treat pimples with salicylic acid. Murad Acne Spot Treatment is fantastic at healing blemishes quickly. 7. Incorporate retinol into your routine. Vitamin-A (which is what retinol is derived from) fights wrinkles and helps to prevent breakouts. For beginners, use RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Night Cream. Graduate to prescription-strength Retin-A once your skin has acclimated.
