Are you Battling With Breakouts?
We understand first-hand how frustrating and frankly, debilitating it is to be dealing with constant breakouts.
At The Facialist we take a unique approach to solving problematic skin issues. Our number one focus is getting the skin back into a state of perfect health. When the skin is hydrated it is healthy and happy; inflammation is reduced, oil flow balances out and skin can function optimally again.
Your skin is simply a reflection of what’s happening in your body. If your skin is breaking out, this is your bodies way of telling you something internally needs to be addressed.
Some of the triggers we need to look at are:
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Diet; Food is directly linked to breakouts. We have written a blog post dedicated to foods to avoid if your breaking out. You can read that HERE
- Gut Health
- Stress
Things to consider:
- Avoid using a cleanser that leaves your skin feeling tight. Stop using harsh or foaming cleansers as these leave your skin unbalanced which will lead to an over production of oil.
- Don’t over-exfoliate; instead if we focus on hydrating your skin, it will be able to renew itself.
- Use a face cloth to cleanse your skin, but make sure you change it daily.
- Wash your pillowcase regularly
- Move your bowels daily
- Take supplements to support gut health
