There are 2 types of acne which range from grades 1-4
NON-INFLAMED & INFLAMED ACNE 🔴

FACT: Acne prone skin sheds 5 layers of cellular turnover per day which is why the pores get clogged vs non-acne prone skin which sheds 1 layer a day 🤯

NON-INFLAMED ACNE
-Consist of whiteheads/blackheads
Grade 1 (mild)

This type of acne can take longer to clear so be patient.

🔑 ingredients to kill p. Acne bacteria: mandelic, salicylic acid, vitamin A, zinc and or a physical exfoliating cleanser.

INFLAMED ACNE 🧊 🧊 BABY!

-consist of the following:
Papule-pimple with no pus just clear liquid
Pustule-pus inside the poor (White blood cells)
Cystic/Nodules- deeper inside the poor (bunch of pustules underneath the skin that form to one)

This type of acne can be painful and could cause scarring from the impact of inflammation.

Resting and recharging this weekend 🔋

This morning I was reflecting on the days when I worked 7 days a week and didn’t know what a weekend truly was 🥴 overworked and burned out was an understatement! I didn’t realize how imperative it was to set boundaries which allowed me to rest and not feel constantly burned out 🥵

Moral of the story is take some time for yourself and focus on the present moment. Enjoy the little things in life ☀️🌸🐾

5 common skin care myths 😮

1) “Dermatologist Tested” is not an official certification, it’s just a marketing slogan. Legally, this should mean that at least one dermatologist did test the product, it doesn’t mean the FDA, the American Academy of Dermatology, or any other organization endorses the product. Be wary of this claim if you can’t identify the source of the endorsement 🔑

2) Many products (not just sunscreen) have SPF protection. However, not all products protect for both UVA and UVB rays. Many make-up products for example, offer only protect for UVA. If you’re going to be in the sun, make sure any exposed area is protected from both types of damaging rays.

3) This is a common misconception that I tend to hear often. Retinol will NOT thin your skin. I repeat… 🗣
Now, you can over exfoliate your skin if using a RX retinoid too often but it will not thin your skin.

4) Eating chocolate is not the only culprit that is causing breakouts. Although, consuming too much sugar in your diet is not good for your skin and can perpetuate conditions such as acne. Try to reduce your intake and consume dark chocolate or cacao 🍫

5) Just because you have oily skin does NOT mean you don’t need a moisturizer. In fact, your skin will over produce oils for the lack moisture. People with oily skin should look for a non-comedogenic moisturizer and avoid products with cocoa butter and mineral oil.

I LOVE seeing progress pics!

This client recently broke out from an OTC skincare line which resulted in PIE (post inflammatory erythema). We completed a series of microneedling using @theskinpen and the results speak for themself 🧚‍♂️

Have you recently suffered from a breakout after months of having clear skin?! This could be why 😲

B-12 shots 💉

One particular study from UCLA found that vitamin B12 actually changed the gene expression of skin bacteria, which could potentially lead to acne-promoting inflammation 😲

Everyone needs to get a minimum amount of vitamin B12 but taking too much B12 can make your acne worse, and even trigger breakouts when you have clear skin!

STRESS 😰

Stress drives inflammation! adrenal glands which produces cortisol is the stress hormone that increases androgens - causing increased inflammation and making the system more acidic.

TIPS to reduce stress 🔑
-walk in nature
-exercise
-laugh
-deep breathing
-journal
-surround yourself with friends/family

IMPROPER SKIN CARE 🧴

Make sure you’re using non-comedogenic skin care to combat inflammation and kill p. Acne bacteria. Our go to is @facerealityskincare skin line 🧴

DIET 🥘 🥛 🍦

When we’re stressed we tend to turn to foods like dairy, sugar and gluten. Too much of these food groups can lead to increase sebum production, bacteria overload and inflammation.

TIPS 🔑

Incorporate dairy alternative milk such as cashew milk, almond milk or oat milk.
Reduce gluten where you can and limit sugar to once a week instead of binging on chocolate every night 🥲

HORMONAL FLUCTUATIONS

Getting off BC pills can make produce more estrogen as it’s tricking your body to think your pregnant. This can take a few months to resolve! Be patient 💞

Menopause- Some women experience acne during menopause. This is likely due to a drop in estrogen levels or an increase in androgen hormones like testosterone. You may still experience menopausal acne even if you're using hormone replacement therapies (HRTs) to ease your menopause symptoms.

Pregnant - Many women experience acne during pregnancy. It's most common during the 1st/2nd trimesters. An increase in hormones called androgens can cause the glands in your skin to grow and produce more sebum — This oil can clog pores and lead to bacteria, inflammation, and breakouts.

We create healthy skin 🧚‍♂️

This transformation took us about 90 days to accomplish by repairing the skins barrier, with @isclinical products and working on hyperpigmentation with our oxygeneo facial and the Enlighten peel @revepeel_reveskin

Be patient with your skin, transformations don’t happen in one treatment! 🔑 ...

Acne, by far, is one of the most common—albeit confusing, frustrating, and mysterious—skin conditions out there. It's highly personal, and there is hardly a practical, one-size-fits-all approach for treating breakouts! This is why we get down to the root cause of acne.

Supplements are essential to reduce inflammation, promote good flora bacteria in the gut and speed up recovery. Here’s our triple threat that we HIGHLY encourage all of our acne prone clients to incorporate.

🦠 Probiotics: Calms internal and external inflammation, restores skin barrier function, offers protection from harmful environmental particles, inhibits bacteria growth.

🐟 EFA’s (essential fatty acids): A powerful group of essential fatty acids 3,6,7 and 9, derived from evening primrose and sea buckthorn oils. DMK efa’s are required for the structure of all membranes in the body. DMK efa’s “waterproof” the skin, maintaining the barrier of the skin impermeable. DMK efa+ only uses the purest raw materials that are compounded in the USA with our FDA registered lab. DMK efa+ is designed for a wide variety of skin conditions to repair the cell membranes and help to rebuild stronger, healthier, and better functioning skin. It’s particularly useful for acne, inflamed or reactive skin, pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and aging complexions! Need I say more?!😅

🌿Zinc: Helps fight viruses and bacteria. Although most people get the zinc they need through their diet, some people may find temporary supplementation beneficial. Zinc also has anti-inflammatory properties. This may help relieve some of the redness and irritation associated with moderate-to-severe acne.

It can take 30 days to see a difference so stick with it! If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, please consult your OBGYN.
