Step
1: Fruit Acid Treatments
Professional salicylic (AHA) and glycolic (BHA) acid peels followed
by microdermabrasion remove several of the uppermost layers of the epidermis,
leaving it cleaner and smoother while creating an opening through which
impurities can be removed.
Glycolic
Acid (AHA):
Glycolic acid works by gently dissolving the bonds that hold dead skin
cells of the stratum cornium together, allowing these cells to be removed,
thus uncovering the smoother, clearer cells underneath.
Salicylic
Acid (BHA):
Salicylic acid is an excellent deep cleanser that dissolves oil, and penetrates
clogged pores, softening impurities and facilitating extraction.
It also removes layers of epidermal skin, stripping away the dirt and debris
clinging to the surface, and making your skin immediately cleaner, smoother
and softer.
Furthermore,
Fruit Acid has been clinically proven to promote faster cell turnover,
and decrease the production of sebum, making your skin clearer and more
luminous, and shrinking pores by eliminating blackheads and other impurities.
However, fruit acid exfoliation is just Step 1 of the process.
Step
2: Microdermabrasion
This procedures mechanically removes layers of epidermal skin to produce
immediate smoothing results. It is a non surgical treatment to resurface
your skin. It works great on reducing fine lines, uneven skin tones,
sun damage, acne scars, and injury scars.
Imagine having the dull, clogged upper layers of your skin first loosened,
then sanded away to reveal the smoother, more refined surface beneath.
Microdermabrasion, performed in conjunction with a salicylic acid wash
and glycolic acid exfoliation will leave your skin totally cleansed and
noticeably smoother. It will also open an escape route to allow extraction
of impurities that are the cause of blemishes.
Immediately, from the first peel you will notice smoother clearer skin
because the dull dead, clogged, coarse, scaly layers of your epidermis
will be softened and blasted away to reveal the clearer, smoother surface
underneath. You will immediately see and feel a smoother, more refined
surface.
Fruit Acid peel and microdermabrasion treatments, along with a good home
care regimen will improve the overall appearance and quality of your skin.
With continued home use of Alpha and Beta-Hydroxy Acids, enlarged pores
will diminish, acne scars will be less evident, and your skin will glow
clean and luminous.

What
is Acne?
Acne is a condition affecting the sebaceous glands found in hair follicles.
Acne is caused by hormonal changes during puberty or other times that lead to increased
production of sebum and keratin. In some individuals, an excess buildup
of sebum and keratin clogs the opening of hair follicles, encouraging formation
of bacteria that leads to inflammation and pimples. Pimples appear
as raised red, sometimes pus-filled bumps when the clogged follicles become
inflamed. If the impurities have no escape route a cyst may form
and these can spread.
The good news is that in most cases, the outward sings of Acne can be prevented
or successfully treated topically. In every case, acne, no matter how severe
of longstanding, will respond to some form of treatment with either topical
treatments or a combination of topical treatments and therapeutic products
in conjunction with medical intervention.
Bottom Line:
Acne is NOT something you need to live with or accept.

Visine &
Toothpaste:
The same stuff you use to clean your teeth and take the red out of eyes
will also help reduce the redness of a pimple. You may have already
known about dabbing a small dot of toothpaste on a blemish to help dry
it up, but if you make a paste using a white toothpaste and Visine, then
apply it to the blemish, it will reduce the redness. Leave it on
for about 15 minutes.
A 2% Cortisone
Preparation:
Sold over the counter, this will also help lessen the redness by reducing
the inflammation of a blemish. Avoid petroleum-based (listed as petrolatum)
ointments. these may clog pores.
Avoid Products
that Dry the Skin:
Contrary to what you may think, these will only exacerbate your Acne problem
by stripping the skin's acid mantle, the skin's natural defense against,
among other things, invading bacteria and other irritants and impurities
that are a cause of acne.
