Zits Are For Kids

When you graduated from high school, you probably were looking forward to a life free of bitchy gossip, immature boys and acne.

Talk about a letdown. Turns out college life is cursed with all the same problems. Okay, so you can deal with the catty chitchat and unreciprocated crushes but the breakouts? Absolutely not. Aside from your yearbook photo, this is one reminder of adolescence you can and must do something about!

Ditch all the other pads, spot treatments and at-home remedies. It is time for some outer peace.

Aveda introduces Outer Peace Acne Relief Skincare. A skincare line that uses all your favorite plant-derived ingredients and the first naturally derived, salicylic acid to fight (and prevent) mean ole’ acne. In four easy steps, you will unclog pores (blackheads be gone), control excess oil (goodbye shine) and calm irritated skin (aghhh).

STEP 1: Outer Peace Foaming Cleanser

A mild, nonirritating cleanser that cleans deep into pores, removing oil, makeup and other impurities without overdrying.

STEP 2: Outer Peace Acne Relief Pads

Gentle exfoliating pads deliver medicine to instantly unclog pores and help eliminate the formation of blackheads, keeping skin clear and preventing future breakouts.

STEP 3: Outer Peace Spot Relief

A powerful spot treatment that works to eliminate breakouts and helps prevent future blemishes. It also helps reduce the appearance of redness and swelling.

STEP 4: Outer Peace Acne Relief Lotion

A lightweight, moisture-balancing lotion that helps clear blemishes, control oil and minimize the appearance of pores&#8217while also protecting skin from dryness.

All done.

It is worth a try. You can’t hide your face behind oversized sunglasses forever.

Available in Aveda salons, spas, stores and online at aveda.com (on July 1st). Products range between $24-$38.
