Identifying Acne & Treatments With Long-Lasting Results
Being 13 or 30, having acne can really impact your self esteem. So many people are frustrated, overwhelmed, and feeling hopeless with the process of trying to get rid of their acne. They are tired of trying various topical and oral prescriptions that leave their skin feeling tight and irritated, trying over the counter products that don’t deliver results: that’s why we’re here! Understanding acne, what causes it and how to prevent it, can deliver the clear skin results that you are looking for!
The main goals of long-lasting acne treatments
As you are most likely aware, there are many products that claim to provide solutions to acne available on the market, but what causes some products to work and not others? To start, we’re going to go over what causes acne and how some of these products and treatments approach outbreaks.
Inhibiting sebum production and creating a clean slate to work with
On the microscopic level, acne is an inherited condition of the pores. All healthy skin sheds skin cells. Acne prone clients skin sheds these dead skin cells quicker than normal and those dead skin cells get trapped inside the pore. This causes congestion in the skin and leads to various forms of acne. In order to prevent this from happening, the most effective treatments attempt to focus on clearing the pores from the inside out to treat and prevent acne.
Limiting bacterial growth to rid the skin of impurities
Another large factor in the formation of acne is bacteria. Believe it or not, every one of us has acne-causing bacteria on our skin. It’s simply the variety of bacteria and the amount of it that influences outbreaks of acne.
Regeneration of new skin cells
Insufficient cell turnover also results in breakouts. When your skin cells do not regenerate appropriately, the dead skin remains intact on your face, resulting in clogged follicles. In order to combat this, ingredients that clean the pore from the inside out, such as benzoyl peroxide, are utilized in the more effective acne treatments.
Types of acne you may encounter as your body changes
In addition to the physical causation of acne, we also have different types of breakouts that can affect you as your body changes. Acne is more than just those annoying white heads that you’ve had since puberty.
A mixture of classic whiteheads and blackheads
Everyone has had experience with these breakouts. Both whiteheads and blackheads affect individuals regardless of age, race, or gender and are arguably the most sought after for treatment.
Pimples: the classic breakout that you remember from high school
Pimples, similar to whiteheads, result in the same congestion of your pore, but are a little different in terms of size and color. The main difference is the lack of white bacteria that shows through on the surface of your skin. If you have a breakout that consists of a cluster of red bumps, you most likely have a breakout of pimples.
Nodules and cysts, one of the more challenging acne conditions
Did you know that cysts are considered acne? So are nodules! Both of these conditions pose a challenge to get rid of. Topically, these two formations may appear similar, but a cyst contains liquid beneath the surface of the skin, whereas nodules are more likely to be filled with solid matter. These types of acne may require treatment from a dermatologist to remove and are likely to cause scarring.
How Acne Bootcamp and regular facials can help alleviate painful acne while preventing and treating scarring
Thankfully, if you struggle with any of these skin conditions, there are options! Not only are amazing home care products available that can treat and prevent acne, but your esthetician can map out a series of facials or chemical peels to keep your skin happy, blemish free, and reduce the risk of scarring.
A regimen with products specifically formulated for your skin and acne type

A professional esthetician can analyze your skin and create a regimen of products specifically designed to tackle the root causes of your acne outbreak. These products will be formulated for your skin and acne type, getting rid of the need to try countless products hoping one will eventually work and feeling overwhelmed and defeated in the process.
