acne
what is it?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. This can lead to the development of pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, and other lesions. Acne can affect people of all ages, but it's most common during adolescence.
What causes/TRIGGERS it?
There are several factors that can lead to acne:
GENETIC PREDISPOSITION
Genetic predisposition is the one and only CAUSE of Acne, Acne genetics determine how your immune system responds to P. acnes bacteria.
GUT HEALTH
Gut imbalance is a trigger for acne, as it is being found at the center of many diseases, immune disorders and more.
This is no different with acne.
STRESS
Stress is a trigger for acne. Stress can affect a person's hormonal balance and the skin's immune function. When a person is stressed, the body releases cortisol. Leading to a worsening of acne.
HORMONES
Hormones can also trigger acne. Acne is caused by clogged pores. Hormonal acne develops when hormonal changes increase the amount of oil your skin produces. This oil interacts with bacteria on the pores of your skin where hair grows (hair follicles) and results in acne.
HOW WE TREAT IT?
It is important to note that acne is an umbrella term, and there are many types of acne that fall under that umbrella. Not all acne is treated the same, which is why it is important to see a professional who can deter your specific type of acne and create a customized treatment plan.
At Nourish Lifestyle Spa, our Face Reality Bootcamp utilizes Clear Skin Peels as a cornerstone of our acne treatment program. These peels are meticulously formulated with a blend of TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, and lactic acid to specifically target acne and improve overall skin texture.
The combination of these exfoliating agents works to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and reduce inflammation. By addressing these core issues, our Clear Skin Peels help diminish active breakouts, fade post-acne marks, and enhance the clarity and smoothness of your skin. This targeted approach, part of our comprehensive Face Reality Bootcamp, is designed to deliver visible improvements and support your journey toward clearer, healthier skin.
We customize each guest's Face Reality skincare regimen to effectively manage and improve your acne. During our Face Reality Bootcamp, we start by assessing your unique skin and acne type to create a tailored routine. This regimen typically includes a combination of cleansers, exfoliants, treatment serums, and moisturizers that specifically address your acne issues. Key products may include mandelic acid cleansers to exfoliate and lighten hyperpigmentation, benzoyl peroxide treatments to target acne-causing bacteria, and retinoids to promote cell turnover and reduce blockages.
We continuously adjust your skincare routine based on your progress and feedback to ensure ongoing improvement. By closely monitoring your skin's response, we fine-tune your regimen as needed, helping you achieve clearer skin within 3-4 months. This personalized approach ensures that your at-home care complements the in-spa treatments, providing a comprehensive solution to manage and control acne effectively.
