(NC)-The new school year is a time of infinite possibilities - it's a chance to reconnect with friends, flaunt your hip, new fall wardrobe and maybe even learn a thing or two. But along with the excitement comes the jitters about what's in store for the year. Feeling good about your appearance can help you face your classes with confidence.

High school is complicated enough without having to deal with acne, blemishes or blackheads on top of everything else! Emergency breakouts, post-workout predicaments or pre-dance blow-ups can spoil your day. You need the right combo of skin smarts and cleanser know-how to pull off that natural glow without a hitch.

A clear complexion doesn't happen by chance. Noxzema's refreshing line-up of pretty smart products help you get there by deep cleaning skin down to the pores to remove dirt, oil and makeup without over-drying.

"Going back to school can be a nerve-racking experience, but you can help stop blemishes from making an appearance on your skin," says Amy Chan, Noxzema Canada marketing. "All Noxzema products have camphor, menthol and eucalyptus so they smell great, work hard and leave a cooling tingle on the face."

Noxzema features three complete collections - Original, Continuous Clean and Triple Clean - to help your skin get the top grade it deserves! A cool new website, www.noxzema.ca gives you a smart, sassy way to customize the best cleansing regime for your busy life.

Smart Skin Care

Q. How can I get a healthy-looking clear complexion?

A. The first step in a good skin care regimen is deep-cleaning your face. After your face is clean, you can help treat those nasty pimple outbreaks and prevent future ones by using products which help prevent the clogging of pores and strip away dead surface skin cells. For deep cleaning with a citrus twist, try Noxzema Continuous Clean Microbead Cleanser for clear glowing skin.

Q. Are certain foods bad for my skin?

A. Proper nutrition leads to good health, which in turn promotes skin fitness. So eating a balanced diet with lots of water, fruits, and vegetables is good for your body, your mind, and your skin.
