Proactiv Spokesperson Katy Perry’s Acne Flare Up

Sometimes celebs want to be “seen,” other times, not so much. Singer Katy Perry was definitely not ready for her photo-op, when a photographer recently took an extreme close up of her, while she happened to be having an acne flare up.

Not good for Katy, especially sense she’s a spokesperson for Proactiv’s skin care line - and let’s assume that she’s actually using the products.


Katy’s an example of an adult that appears to have an ongoing acne problem. She attributes her flare ups to stress.

Generally speaking when a person on an acne program has a flare up it’s either because they haven’t been following the program consistently or the program isn’t a good fit for that person’s skin.

It doesn’t matter how good the product is, if you don’t use it consistently be ready for the occasional flare up. This is something I try to reinforce with my clients. Acne programs are meant to clear up current breakouts and prevent future flare ups. This means, don’t stop using your products just because your acne "goes away." Also, if you do follow a program religiously and still have breakouts, it’s time to try something else. 

Fortunately most people with acne aren’t being stalked by photographers with high-powered lenses when this happens. Nevertheless, it’s always nice to be ready for your close up.
