Everyone at one point in their lives (close to 80%!) have experienced and suffered from the embarrassment, low self-esteem and sometimes painful affects of acne, often as a teen but for some in can linger or re-appear in our later years.
I understand how frustrating it can be struggling with acne as I too suffered from it until I determined that in my case it was a result of a food sensitivity. Once removed, my skin cleared right up!
WHAT IS ACNE?
It is a common skin condition caused by a number of internal and external factors where the hair follicles get cloggged with oil, dead skin cells and bacteria resulting in inflammation and results in blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and even cysts. Unfortunatley this also tends to cause emotional stress and low self-esteem.
Common causes and symptoms include:
🌿Food sensitivities
🌿Damaged skin barrier
🌿Using incorrect products
🌿Hormonal imbalances
🌿Nutritional deficiency
🌿Free radicals and oxidative stress
🌿Excess toxins
🌿Digestive issues
and more!
THE GOOD NEWS!
Once you address the root cause rather than cover it up, you too can experience healthy clear skin. It can be frustrating and hard to figure out what the cause is but that is what I am here for.
As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and esthetician, I find that acne responds very well when nutrition and lifestyle factors are addressed and the right products are used! This often results in clients looking and feeling more confident, shedding their embarrassment, and no longer wasting money on products that just don’t work (or even harmful). Meaningful lifestyle changes, carefully selected skin care products and supplements (if needed) go a long way in kicking acne to the curb - for good!
