Managing Sensitive Skin: Acne

Acne is the bane of youths and grownups, wouldn't you agree?  Rhonda Allison, the formulator of the awesome skin care line we carry here at Balanced Beauty, lists seven basic causes of acne:

•     drying  

Typically, acne occurs when there is an over-production of the sebaceous glands coupled with a slow down in the natural exfoliation process that occurs at the stratum corneum level of the skin.  The resultant clogging leads to comedomes, whiteheads, blackheads, cysts, papules, nodules, and postules. It's a complex condition that requires a complex treatment approach. Treatment must address all of the factors driving the condition such as the build up of bacteria, fatty acids, and dead skin cells.  After reducing the congestion, impacted pores are softened, circulation must be improved and the skin must be calmed and healed.  Facials, peels, and in-home care work to prevent recurrences.  The Italian Herbal Detox Rx Facial works to reduce skin congestion and increase circulation to address blemish issues.  Save 20% this month.

I've had good success helping people manage stress, develop a healthy diet, and improve overall health which goes a long way in improving skin problems.  Please call me for an evaluation or to discuss  a  customized treatment protocol (acupuncture and non-needle approaches) to address your health concerns.
