Question

Hi, I'm an African American and I would like to ask how to get rid of blemishes on my face, arms, and legs.

Answer

With darker skin tones, like yours you have to be cautious with what you use because many products pose a risk of pigmentation issues such as hypopigmentation. It is essential if you are treating your skin with any AHAs or salicylic acid that you wear sunscreen daily to prevent pigmentation issues. However AHA's would work well to help treat your acneic issues. I recommend starting out with a kit of products such as PCA Skin Teen Acne System or . SkinCeuticals Acne Care System. I've also noticed good results with SkinMedica Acne System. You can use the cleansers and acne spot treatment products from these kits on the legs and arms as well as the face. Please let me know if you have further questions. Best skin care wishes.

Meagan, Esthetician
