Acne/Oily/Problem

 

Symptoms

Acne and oily skin usually go hand in hand–however, dry skins can also experience acne symptoms, especially during menopause or hormonal changes. Other types of acne include acne rosacea and cystic acne. 

Redness and inflammation often accompany these conditions, making it more difficult to balance. 

In more advanced cases, thick, coarse skin texture – often waxy in appearance can accompany these conditions. Whiteheads, blackheads and enlarged, clogged pores are common.

 

Acne101

Acne forms when sebum (oil) is trapped within the pore, providing a fertile breeding ground for bacteria.  When the skins surface oxides, the clogged pore oxidizes, turns black and becomes a black head.  Once oils start accumulating in the pore, it enlarges and becomes a whitehead or cyst. Congested skin that harbors bacteria can lead to infection, causing redness and inflammation. 

Because of these challenges, very special care is necessary to bring balance to the skin. Aggressive products often dry the acne, but make the redness and irritation worse. Not to mention the systemic drugs that are often prescribed for this condition. Accutane, antibiotics, birth control pills and steroid drugs are commonly used for these conditions, ultimately creating more problems and imbalances.

Candida (yeast) can then becomes an issue, compounding the initial problem – thus creating the revolving door so may people continuously go through, trying to correct this frustrating condition.  

Botanical extracts, enzymes and antioxidants can have a profound impact on the appearance and clearing of the skin…eliminating blackheads, balancing oil flow, soothing and calming redness and irritation and ultimately restoring a clear, soft complexion.  Without chemicals. Without stripping the skin.  Delivering real results –quickly!


Underlying Issues

  1. Poor/improper skin cleansing techniques
  2. Poorly compounded cosmetics – foundation, blush and sunscreens that contain mineral oil, petroleum and other pore clogging ingredients.
  3. Poor Exfoliation - layers of dead skin cells build up on the surface, blocking the natural flow of sebum and causing pores to clog and further enlarge.
  4. Stress
  5. Poor Diet and Elimination
  6. Digestive Issues

Hormonal Imbalances

The signal that triggers oil production is sent by hormones called androgens. These are male hormones, but are present in both men and women.

Androgens are what cause pores to enlarge and acne problems to start at puberty.

They also cause women to sometimes develop acne problems and hair growth at menopause, and especially pre-menstrual breakouts. These premenstrual flares are theorized to be caused by sudden surges of oil triggered by androgens in the bloodstream. These surges inflame the follicles causing sudden acne flares, most often in the chin and jaw line areas.

Holistic Healing Strategies

Proper skin cleansing is crucial - twice daily.  First thing upon arising and always before bed. Never go to bed with make up on!

Avoid skin irritants such as petrochemicals (including: paraffin, mineral oil, polyethylene glycol, or sodium laureth/lauryl sulphate, parabens), genetically modified ingredients, synthetic or artificial coloring, fragrances and synthetic preservatives. In addition to the irritation these can produce, many are also comedogenic and may cause whiteheads and breakouts.

Clean Your Colon –  A little “internal house cleaning” is a vital part of an effective acne treatment program. Treating acne “from the inside out” is the holistic way for fast and lasting results.  Drink lots of water!

Change your pillowcases daily to prevent bacteria and dust from aggravating the condition.

Choose powdered mineral make up and avoid liquid and cream based products.
