Controling the Acne Cycle

Acne starts when keratinized skin cells with in the hair follicles clump together and form a plug at the follicle’s opening where sebum from the sebaceous gland travels to the surface of the skin. The mixture of the “stuck” skin cells and the increased sebum feed bacteria called P.acne in the plugged follicle causing inflammation.

In other words – Clogged follicles feed bacteria, making a tiny infection and causing redness, swelling and discomfort in the form of a pimple!

FOUR STEPS THAT HELP CONTROL THE ACNE CYCLE:

1. Gently exfoliate – Ingredients that help to break down those keratinized skin clump include salicylic acid, sulfur and benzyl peroxide. Because they can break down the clumps, that makes them a great  acne fighter. At Aesthetic Solutions we can help you to find the perfect “clump buster” for your skin!

2.Control the Sebum Production – It’s all about having balance. It’s really important to remember that over drying your skin (even if it’s really oily) will cause more sebum to be triggered and then you just end up with dry breakouts. The best way to keep a good balance is to use a toner or astringent. Your Aesthetic Solutions Consultant can help you choose the right one for your skin.

3.Decrease the p.acne Bacteria – Killing the bacteria is destroying acne at the root. At Aesthetic Solutions we can help you to do just that by the use of a topical antibacterial, by prescription medication should the trouble be systemic, or even by recommending Blu-U treatment to stop that “P” bacteria.

4. Protect from both UV rays and other inflammatory stimulants - inflammation is both a cause and the result of acne, so getting that inflammation under control is important. sunscreen always plays an important role in skin care, and even more so when trying to control inflammation, especially when controlling acne with active ingredients. UV rays complicate acne and cause more inflammation! Using a good sunscreen will keep that in check as well as taking care of sensitivity due to acne treatments. Aesthetic Solutions carries a great variety of sunscreens that won’t clog pores and are perfect for acne prone skin.

A Repost …but great information

Here are some tips to help prevent breakouts and clear them up as fast as possible:

  • Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne. Vivier Hexam or the Skin TX 2 step program are both great! Gently message your face with circular motions. Don’t scrub. Overwashing and scrubbing can cause the skin to become irritated. After cleansing, the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) recommends applying a lotion containing benzoyl peroxide. (Skin TX 2 Step program does include exactly that!) This will decrease oil and bacteria.
  • Don’t pop pimples. It’s tempting, but here’s why you shouldn’t: Popping pimples can push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring. If you notice a pimple coming before a big event, like the prom, a doctor can often treat it for you with less risk of scarring or infection.
  • Avoid touching your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum and skin residue like your phone. Touching your face can spread the bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated. To keep bacteria at bay, wash your hands before applying anything to your face, such as treatment creams or makeup.
  • If you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.
  • If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes, that don’t allow the skin to breathe and may cause irritation. Scarves, headbands, and caps can collect dirt and oil, too.
  • Remove your makeup before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say “noncomedogenic” or “nonacnegenic” on the label. Throw away old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it. It’s a very good idea to use makeup that is suited to your skin, We recommend the Glo Mineral Makeup line. Glo Mineral is makeup that is actually good for your skin.
  • Keep hair clean and out of your face to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.
  • Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan masks acne, but it’s only temporary. A tan may worsen your acne, not improve it. Tanning also causes damage to skin that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer.

If you’re concerned about acne, talk to a doctor that can help you with your skin here at Aesthetic Solutions. We offer a range of treatments that help to prevent acne and acne scars and can help you find the treatment method that’s best for you and  give you lots of useful tips for dealing with acne and caring for your skin type.

Getting Your Best Aesthetic Results!

Aesthetic Procedures such as Botox, Fillers, Lasers, Peels and Microderms continue to rise in popularity. Now more than ever patients are looking for treatments that offer fast results with little or no down time.

Since our expectations continue to rise the need for good pharmaceutical skin care, to maximise the treatment results has never been more important.

Think of your skin as if it were an artist’s canvas. When an artist begins with poor quality canvas and uses poor quality paint, it will make the results of his work unpredictable at best. Starting with a fresh, flawless canvas will certainly achieve a much more predictable result.

This holds true with our skin as well, be it acne, fine lines or difficult scarring. Getting your skin and your skin care regime under control first will give you a much more predictable Aesthetic result. By using pharmaceutical quality products you skin will heal faster, you will experience less down time, and you will achieve longer lasting results.

The same can be said for physical training. A client that is in top physical condition is more likely to recover faster from an operation, have more predictable results and less down time.

If your skin is not in a healthy condition you may not get the results that you hope for from your aesthetic procedure. Getting your skin to be as healthy as possible is the first step in any aesthetic treatment.

Once your skin has been treated by a skin care professional or physician you will want to protect your investment by maintaining your results.

As you continue to be exposed to pollution, sunlight, and daily stresses, you will continue to age naturally and experience hormonal changes, your skin will continue to experience damage. Much of this damage can be slowed or even prevented by using a combination of medical grade skin care products in addition to a broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection daily.

Treating your skin will always be a process and can be compared to going to the dentist. You see your dentist every six months, but you still brush and floss in between. The same is true with treating your skin.

See our Doctors periodically throughout the year; maintain your beautiful skin with great skin care in between.

Aesthetic Solutions is proud to carry VivierSkin, Skin TX, Celazome,  Elta MD and GloMineral products.

Deciding what is best for you and your skin is easier than you might think since consultations are always free and without obligation.  Having the time to make an informed decision is important to us, that is just one of the ways that we are here for you.

The Benefit of Caffeine!

Caffeine has been used for years in dermatology, but new studies show the protective benefits it has on human skin cells.Caffeine actually inhibits UV-induced damage by doubling the frequency of “apoptosis”, or cell death in DNA damaged cells.

The addition of caffeine to sunscreens and product for the face is for this superior protective effect.

Brand New and Limited…at Aesthetic Solutions!

Ok I have to admit I am obsessed with any kit that Glo Minerals comes out with.  Each season we all eagerly anticipate the arrival of the new kits, and this year they didn’t disappoint.  We just received the new Deluxe Holiday Kit and I feel like Christmas came early.

The jeweled eye pencils and high intensity eyeshadow quad are going to be great for those special events coming up.  Here is a list of what is included:

Limited Edition Eye Shadow Quad in glam
Sheer Tint Base illuminator
Mini Bronze in sunlight
Jeweled Eye Pencils in bejeweled bronze and sterling silver
Sharpener
Blush Duo in bare/hibiscus
Mini Gloss in nude and poppy
Mini Water Resistant Mascara in black

The bag is big and sturdy enough for all of my makeup when traveling with a cool removable clear makeup case with a velcro attachment.
