Welcome to the first of Mirabella’s monthly
e-newsletters!
Each month I’ll be discussing a topic that focuses on
Skin Care and/or Massage and Wellness in general. In addition,
Facial
Treatments, Products, and Resources that relate to
each month’s topic will be covered.
This month I want to address adult acne and how it can be
treated and
prevented. I will present some myths and facts and will introduce
you
to an exciting new tool that offers the most effective, thorough
cleansing and leaves skin feeling and looking younger and smoother!
Thank you for taking the time to read though the information. As
a
practitioner who is passionate about skin care I am committed to
helping you better understand your skin and to help your skin look and
feel its best!
FOCUS ON: ADULT ACNE
Usually between the ages of 18 to 20 teenage acne begins to
clear.
However, according to the International Dermal Institute and the
American Academy of Dermatology, 40 to 55% of adults from age 20 to 40
still suffer from – or develop - acne type breakouts!
In fact 54% of women over age 25 report developing acne for
the first
time.
Use Professional Skin Care
to Treat, Clear, and
Prevent Adult Acne
To successfully treat, clear and prevent acne, the cascade of events
leading to acne development must be addressed: we must regulate the oil
glands, promote exfoliation to help shed dead skin cells, kill bacteria
and soothe inflammation.
Fortunately, skin care formulations used to treat these conditions have
improved enormously. Important ingredients to look for include ...
