Do you have some tips to correct “bacne”? I always get it when I start working out on a more regular basis.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Since breakouts are related to workouts and not usual for you, the following tips can be incorporated into your routine to keep skin clean and clear.
- Protect your skin: Place a towel over the back of the weight machines so you don’t pick up what someone else left behind.
- Don’t stew in your sweat: Shower immediately after exercising. Use the ENHANCEMENTS Body Micro-Dermabrasion to exfoliate, clean and condition skin in one invigorating step for all-over renewal, revealing smooth, touchable, youthful-looking skin.
- Prevent with Skincare: Three times a week apply the UNBLEMISH Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash as a 15-minute mask because sulfur clears pores by shedding dead skin cells and helps to heal pre-existing blackheads and whiteheads. It also provides an immediate benefit by reducing acne’s telltale redness and swelling. Rinse and pat dry.
In winter months, my eye lids become dry and irritated … help!
Because your eye area is so delicate, it is more susceptible to weather changes and you will need to make subtle changes to avoid irritation. Here’s what we recommend:
- Use Rodan + Fields® ANTI-AGE Eye Cloths to gently remove eye makeup while simultaneously providing the sensitive eye area with powerful overnight anti-aging and restorative benefits without any residue or stinging, leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed.
- Use ANTI-AGE Multi-Function Eye Cream twice daily. This formula contains powerful collagen-stimulating and anti-inflammatory peptides to reduce irritation, minimize the appearance of crow’s feet, help reduce puffiness, and diminish dark under eye circles while special optical diffusers instantly brighten the eye area.
- Stay away from glittery frosty eye shadow as mica can irritate delicate skin.
- Wear sunglasses to reduce sun damage and wear sun goggles when skiing to reduce tearing and windburn.
Never Had Acne As a Teenager—I don’t understand why I am getting it now at 45?
During their reproductive years, women have a natural balance between the masculinizing androgenic hormones such as progesterone and the feminizing hormone estrogen. Beginning in our thirties, a natural reduction in estrogen causes the ratio of estrogens to androgens to decrease. In other words, our feminine hormones begin disappearing, and our masculine ones may be increasing. So the scale tips in favor of the masculinizing androgens. As a result, our sebaceous glands secrete thicker sebum, which clogs the pores and produces acne in some adult women. Start on UNBLEMISH Regimen as directed and begin to manage your breakouts. Every pore has pimple potential so treat the entire face with the full regimen for best results.
