Choosing the right products for your skin type and concerns is critical to getting maximum results. Let us help! We can prescribe a daily regimen for face and body including expert advice on diet and lifestyle for best results.

Acne:
Acne starts with a blocked oil gland (pore), which is actually an oil chemistry problem. When acne occurs, the oil is too thick or waxy. Instead of flowing, it forms a plug. These are flat blackheads, which are the first stage of acne.

Trapped behind the blocked oil gland is bacteria. Whenever bacteria is trapped behind a waxy, plugged oil gland or pore, it is a perfect situation for bacteria to proliferate. At this stage, acne appears as a pustule (white pus in a bump on skin) or a bump (bacteria underneath skin without visible white on surface).

Avoid pore clogging foundations and switch to a zinc oxide based mineral version, zinc oxide acts as natural sunscreen and is extremely healing on the skin. The award winning Bare Escentuals make-up is free of preservatives, talc, oil, waxes, fragrances, and other chemicals that can irritate skin and cause breakouts. Check out our make up so pure you can sleep in it.

The secret is to “get ahead of acne” and prevent the acne blemish from forming in the first place. The effects on the skin vary depending on the type of acne but most commonly spots, blackheads, redness/scarring, oil, bumpy skin and blocked pores. We recommend:

• Get enough sleep
• Try to reduce stress
• Kick the habit (yes, all of them!)
• Switch to a satin pillowcase
• Exercise regularly
• Limit exposure to extreme temperatures
• Maintain a stable weight
• Avoid alcohol based skin-care products
• Remove makeup before going to bed
• Be gentle to your skin – don’t over exfoliate
• Wear sunscreen – and lots of it
• Follow a healthy diet cutting down on sugar, starchy carbohydrates (bread, pasta, potatoes) and eat food rich in essential fatty acids such as salmon and consider supplements such as zinc and vitamins A,C and E
