Acne is one of the most common skin conditions experienced by teens…and it doesn’t have to be that way! There are effective treatments available and sometimes even simple steps can make a huge difference - not only to the skin, but to the teen’s self confidence, sense of self worth and happiness.

View from the clinic. Cloudy days and lots of time spent indoors, virtual school, virtual work, can make it difficult for little ones to sleep well at night. Our circadian rhythms are affected by the amount of sunlight we get each day. If your child or teen is having trouble sleeping at night, a daily walk outdoors, in sunlight, might be just what they need. 🌞 Happy March! Spring is just around the corner! 🌸
