Figuring out how to treat your Acne can be a frustrating challenge. It leads us to start zapping away at blemishes, over-washing skin, and applying a routine that feels more like a chore. What we've realized since we built the first product in 2007, is that less is more. 

Acne causes range from diet & hormones to bacteria & irritants. Over-producing sebaceous glands cause black & white heads and an oily feel before evolving into pimples and inflammation. Instead of trying to solve only symptomatic effects, the Acne line helps your skin return to it's natural balance,  restoring the protective barrier while replenishing your skin with Acne fighting nutrition.

Remember, your skin is already best suited to eliminate your Acne. Trust your skin and it will love you back. 

Some things to keep in mind to help your Acne skin return to it's normal beauty:

Dry skin is the #1 reason Acne can't be treated effectively. The first thing anyone should do is simplify the routine. Using too many products, and the wrong products too often, strips the protective barrier, dries out skin, and leaves it vulnerable to damage. Washing until your skin it 'feels' squeaky clean can cause sebum to overproduce (which makes your skin feel oily when it's actually severely dehydrated).

It should feel breathable and smooth to the touch, rather than tight and dry. 

Pro Tip: If you have dry skin & acne USE OIL. Oils like Tamanu, Rosehip Seed, & Pumpkin Seed do wonders replenishing lipids, detoxing and regenerating your skin with immune boosting unsaturated fatty acids. 

Diet also plays a large role in Acne. High-glycemic foods, too much dairy, and sugar can cause your insulin levels to rise. These release (androgen) hormones that cause gloopy & irregular sebum production.

Pro Tip: Eating more antioxidants and less of the foods above will go long long way! It doesn't take long to start seeing the effects of better nutrition.

Be consistent & patient. We all would love a magical cream or serum that zaps away blemishes while also keeping your skin feeling great. The reality of it is that ONLY your skin can do exactly that.

Pro Tip: Allowing your skin time to repair itself while also feeding it the nutrition it needs is imperative for long lasting success. 

Q: What's my skin type?

A: Identifying your skin type can be hard if you're struggling with Acne. Here are some signs of
Oily Skin: Have large obvious pores, oily slick feeling across your entire face, shiny/greasy appearance, & persistent pimples & clogged pores.
Dry Skin: Oily feeling despite the constant washing/cleaning (this is sebum over producing due to dehydrated skin). Struggle with acne but are prone to dryness in the T-zone along with other areas of the face. 
Combination Skin: Oily around the T-zone but dry everywhere else. Typically breakout around the T-zone area but have dry flaky skin around the cheeks.

Q: Why is my skin so sensitive?

A: Sensitivity is on a spectrum. Some are naturally more sensitive that others, and you can sensitive to specific ingredients. However, most of the time when we are dealing with "sensitive skin" we are actually trying to fix damaged skin. Damaged skin is more reactive, tender, and vulnerable to more irritation.

Q: How important is SPF to Acne?

A: Your skin is the only one who can solve your acne, when you don't wear spf your skin gets damaged and can't heal itself properly. Wearing sun protection is a must for solving an acne condition.

Q: I can't tell if I have bad Acne or Rosacea? How can I tell?

A: Acne and Papulopustular Rosacea can sometimes be hard to tell apart. Both cause redness, sensitivity, and "pimples." However Acne redness only surround affected areas, centering around the pimples. Rosacea is red and possibly inflamed over a large area, not just the papulopustular pimples.
