Facing Teen Angst

The Bite:

Break out. Whether you're dealing with just the occasional zit or an everyday issue, there's no need for harsh chems. Instead, try products made with body- and eco-friendlier ingredients, whether you're still in your emo phase or not.

The Benefits: 
  • Not feeling alienated by your peers (or pores). A clear face means one less thing to worry about.
  • Less fodder for eco-tormented diary entries. Ingredients will ultimately end up in nature, so the fewer synethetics we use, the better.
  • Fewer chems to moan about. The cosmetics industry has only screened about 11% of the 10,500 ingredients in personal care products for safety, so opt for less questionable ingredients.
Personally Speaking: 

Toshio thought he was stuck using paraben-laden ProActiv forever. Thankfully, Daniel Kern came out with a comparable product with fewer bad chems.

Wanna Try: 

Cocktail Fact

Diddy (aka P. Diddy, aka Puff Daddy, aka Puffy) endorses ProActiv, noting that it "helps me moisturize my situation and preserve my sexy."

Bang For The Bite

If 10,000 Biters opt for a 2-ounce bottle of eco-acne zapper instead of conventional stuff, we'll avert the weight of eight zitty teens in potentially bad chems.
