BACTERIA CONDITIONS​
​
​
​
Acne is a disorder in which the skin follicle (attached to the hair) becomes clogged. This is responsible for the redness and inflammation associated with breakouts. This type of bacteria is anaerobic which means it cannot survive in the presence of oxygen. Papules (pimples) have no pus. Pustules (pimples with pus) contain white blood cells that have arrived to fight the infection and died.
When there is too much dead skin build-up, bacteria gets trapped under these layers. This process can cause blackheads. Exfoliation is crucial for exposing this bacteria to oxygen, killing it. We recommend the Papaya + Pineapple Enzyme Mask.
Exfoliation should be performed at least three times a week. In addition avoid products with fragrance, comedogenic (pore-clogging) ingredients and that do not support a balanced pH. Through this, you can balance oil production and reduce inflammation of the skin.
Balancing skin to the proper pH secures the acid mantle to ensure healthy skin. Producing too little or too much oil disrupts the acid mantle. Avoid imbalanced skin by using a pH spray and a gel moisturizer day and night. We recommend the Cucumber + Cranberry Weightless Gel Moisturizer.
