How To Clear Your Acne at Home
Everyone is always surprised when I tell them 80 percent of how we are going to treat their acne is going to be at home and only when they get their chemical peels or acne bootcamp is when they need to see me every 2-4 weeks. Other than that 4-6 weeks for maintenance and a consistent home care is all we need.
Why?
Because what you do daily to your skin matters. Its the same reason why I get you on stronger exfoliants like retinol and glycolic acid cleansers before I give you a chemical peel.
Consistent use of aftercare treats and heals your skin. Lets take acne for example. The reason why Cerve and Tiktok trends aren’t clearing your skin is because its not for you. You are applying acids and combining ingredients that are causing adverse reactions in the skin its not going to be treated correctly or heal. Then you add in instant gratification and companies not being able to add in strong percentages of ingredients in fear of being sued. So the chemical peel you get at Ulta is not the same as the chemical peel I use in the treatment room because its not safe and companies don’t want to harm you and get sued. Mostly the latter hahaha.
This goes for cleansers and moisturizers as well. Im able to prescribe you stronger ingredients because I’m licensed by the state. I also love skincare and decided to go to school to not only learn about the skin and its disorders . Over the years Ive been able to clear acne and pigmentation off of product recommendations alone working at a waxing salon, my education and real world experience makes me confident to clear your acne. Now how does this relate to treating your acne at home?
From your virtual consult I prescribe you a skincare routine that fits your lifestyle, genetic history and your skin care goals.
The main line I carry is Skinscript. I absolutely love skinscript because I can give you a solid skincare routine without having 50 different products. Unless you like that because then we can through a couple mask in but less is more.
Skinscript has a variety of skincare products that contain different percentages of acids. Clients on my acne bootcamp get started with the green tea cleanser, retinol or Mandelic acid, moisturizer and sunscreen. You have something to cleanse, treat and heal the skin without over-boarding it.
If you have acne your skin cant shed dead skin cells properly so the natural accumlation blends with sweat, oil and debri that gets trapped in the skin. Using active ingredients like Retina A, mandelic acid, glycolic acid help with this because it exfoliants the skin to keep it clear of these deadskin cells.
If the acid is too harsh your skin gets dry and irritated, if you see no results its not strong enough. My virtual consultation eliminates the guessing game. Even knowing this helps you stay better informed on what your skin needs. This is why you should be surprised that a good home care routine is all you need. If there is no build up their wont be anything to treat and do these aggressive treatments on. Treatments speed up the acne cycle without damaging the pore then treat any corrections like scarring or hyperpigmentation that has occurred over the years.
