Go bite a bar of soap! How many of us cringe when we wake up in the morning and another little red friend has snuck up on us in our sleep?
The truth of the matter is that Acne affects us through out our entire life. Some of us more when we were teenagers and some of us as adults. There are a variety of reasons each of us has breakouts. From hormones, what's in our diet, to what we are putting on our faces. Most of us feel like there is little we can do without taking a trip to the doc. Sometimes, though only in very serious cases, a trip to the doc can be just the ticket. Between using rubbing alcohol (eek! Don't do that!) as an astringent and an expensive trip to the office, there are many stops along the way. Hmmm...let me think... oh yeah! Like coming in to see me!
The best way to fight acne lesions is EDUCATION! You need to be educated about your skin and how it functions. And NO, the commercials on TV do not count! The more you know about your skin and what types of ingredients in products are best for acne the better off you are to fight, fight, fight! There are two ways we can take these little buggers head on.
Home care It is so important that you are using the correct products at home. The key word there is USING. No, not all products are created equal. If you aren't going to use them at all, then you might as well give up now. What you use at home is super important. Something that isn't strong enough, isn't gonna cut it. Something that is too strong is just gonna make matters worse. So, how do you know what product to use and if it is right for your skin? Easy, it's vital that you have a professional skin care therapist to head you in the right direction.
Clinical Acne Treatments Along with knowing what to do at home you need someone who knows there limits when it coming to "popping that zit". We are going to say extract the acne lesion. Not only does is sound nicer my way, it IS nicer. I know my limits. I won't dig, and dig, and dig until your are bleeding, red, and more swollen than when you started. You might not realize it but you are doing sooo much damage to your delicate skin. Also I have lots of tools at my disposal that you do not. (If you do you had better go and throw them away right now, cause you don't know what the crap you are doing!) When I say "tools" I do not just mean actual implements, but products with ingredients that are specifically designed to use for all aspects of acne.
The bottom line is that Acne is not something to fear. We can take it on! There are so many steps you can take before handing over your face to a doc, or just giving up. The more educated you are the better equipped you will be in having healthy skin. I am the perfect person to help educate you. Plus I love extracting blackheads! I know eewww gross, but don't think I don't know you secretly love it too. Too many of my teen clients have told me about Mom chasing them all over the house with a bobby pin to get the blackhead out! That's right they tattled on you!
Acne Treatments start as low as $35.00, and I promise you will see results. Sometimes it can take a series of treatments to really get a hold of the issue. Every ones skin is different, even from sibling to sibling. Sometimes it is just a matter of staying ahead of it. Call for more info on home care and scheduling. 801.913.6524
