The 30 Day Skincare Challenge

What Causes Acne?

Menstruation - Just before your period starts the levels of the hormones oestrogen and progesterone drop. This causes a hormone imbalance, that will cause inflammation and more sebum to be produced which leads to clogged pores, more bacteria being produced and leading to breakouts, blackheads and acne.

Genetics - Unfortunately this is passed down to you from your parents and ancestors. This plays a huge part but knowing this information will help to prepare for this.

Medications - There are certain medications that are known to cause acne such as bromides, halogens, B12, anti depressants, steroids etc, this is due to their effect on the immune system.

Gastro intestinal disorders - This can have a huge impact on acne, problems such as gastric reflux, diarrhoea, constipation, sifo, sibo and bloating, they show up as a gut dysbiosis that impacts health overall. Diet is key here, as certain foods such as sugars, processed foods, complex carbohydrates that impact on the problems of the gut are inflammatory which can lead to acne.

Stress - Although stress does not directly cause acne, it does have an impact as the stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. During periods of stress, these hormones rise causing more sebum to be produced which in turn blocks pores and creates a build up of oils and debris causing bacteria and acne.

Hormones - Hormone fluctuation is a huge contributory to acne. Wether it’s puberty, peri menopause, menopause or pregnancy, fluctuating hormones that move from low to high, high to low levels cause untold issues on our skin. Low levels of estrogen and progesterone can result in high androgen levels which will cause insulin levels to spike and more sebum to be produced. When it comes to hormones they are like Goldilocks and the three bears, everything has to be just right.

High GI Index Food - A western diet which is high in diary, gluten, sugar, complex carbs, processed foods and drinks play havoc with not only our health but our skin too. These food types will inflame the body causing inflammation and excess sebum leading to both skin and health issues.

Overactive Oil Glands - This condition is caused by all of the above causes causes, the causes, stress, hormone imbalance, gastrointestinal problems, medications, genetics, all of these conditions cause the sebaceous gland to produce too much sebum leading to the perfect conditions for acne to breakout.

Introducing our Acne Care Set

What does the Acne Care Set Do?

The creams has been formulated to repair and renew your skin's barrier function which is there to protect your skin from every skin condition you can possibly think of.

If your barrier function has been impaired or compromised it will show as irritated skin in various forms such as acne, dermatitis, rosacea, dryness and many more such problems.

If we can repair the skins barrier function then we can give it a fighting chance.

When the skincare barrier function is working efficiently it will remain hydrated and retain sufficient lipids. This means harmful toxins and bacteria are unable to penetrate the skin.

Cranberries are a natural source of flavonoids (an antioxidant) and salicylic acid (a beta hydroxy acid or BHA). Each of these ingredients has astringent and antiseptic properties that reduce sebum, clear pores and minimise the look of pimples.

Cranberries have trace minerals of potassium, manganese, and anti-inflammatory properties, which help prevent collagen break down and can blunt breakouts for those prone to adult acne. Cranberries have properties that help minimise the look of acne and blemishes and, the fruit has a rich amount of Vitamin C which helps scars and dark marks fade.

Lime is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which can be beneficial to the skin. When used topically, lime can dissolve excess oil.
