Let's Build the Ultimate Acne Resource!
Acne is one of the most prevalent yet least understood of all the skin diseases in North America. My aim here is to build the best acne information lens so that I can raise a greater awareness of this skin disease and help people of all ages including teens and adults better understand and deal with acne.
How do I plan to do this? With your help of course! I would like to create a list of the top acne information sites, which offer useful easy to understand information. Lens master, webmasters as well as my lens visitors are welcome contact me using the button on the top right of this lens with suggestions on sites which they feel should be included. Please consider linking to this lens to help spread the word, thanks.
The acne sites which make this list must be informative, have original content, and easy to navigate so visitors do not waste time. Please keep in mind that building a "complete information resource" takes time, so be patient and visit this lens often. Also please consider linking to this lens from your blog, your website, or your lenses to help spread the word. Thanks.
