Do you frequently reach for your Blume Meltdown oil to treat blemishes? Stop and read this! 👉

It is a common misconception that essential oils, because they are perceived as being more "natural", are a gentler and more effective solution to treating acne.

Unfortunately, this is false!

While some essential oils, such as tea tree oil, CAN be effective for reducing acne-causing bacteria, there are much better options for treating acne.

Because essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences, they can cause skin irritation and damage, even leading to dermatitis. 👎

While diluting in a carrier oil can reduce the risk of irritation, many carrier oils can also be comedogenic and worsen acne!

It is best to stick to BHAs (like salicylic acid), AHAs (lactic acid, glycolic acid), benzoyl peroxide, and retinols to treat acne the most effectively. ✅

The final step of every good AM skin care routine should always be your sunscreen! ☀️

Many people believe that sunscreen is only necessary on bright, sunny days. The truth is that the UV rays from the sun can pe*****te through clouds and even glass, making it important to wear sunscreen every day, regardless of the weather.

New evidence even suggests that blue light emitted from phone, computer or TV screen can damage skin cells and lead to wrinkles and other signs of aging. Additionally, blue light has been shown to suppress the production of collagen and elastin, which are important for maintaining skin elasticity.

Our favourite sunscreen is ZO's Daily Sheer Broad Spectrum which provides UVA/UVB, HEV and IR-A protection.

All about SALICYLIC ACID 🌟

What is Salicylic Acid?

Salicylic acid is a type of beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is derived from willow bark. It's a powerful exfoliant that works to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and help reduce the appearance of acne. Unlike other exfoliants that only work on the surface of the skin, salicylic acid is able to pe*****te deep into the pores, making it an effective treatment for acne and other skin concerns. ✅

Benefits of Salicylic Acid for Skin Care:

✨ Clearing up acne: Salicylic acid is a well-known treatment for acne, as it helps to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and reduce the appearance of breakouts.

✨ Brightening skin: Salicylic acid can help to brighten the skin, giving it a more radiant and youthful appearance.

✨ Improving skin texture: By removing dead skin cells, salicylic acid can help to improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin.

✨ Regulating oil production: Salicylic acid helps to regulate oil production, which can help to prevent future breakouts.

WHEN TO USE: Salicylic acid can be used as a spot treatment for acne, in a cleanser, or in a toner or serum. If you're looking to get the most benefit out of salicylic acid, we recommend its use in a toner or serum. Use salicylic acid as part of your skin routine after you cleanse and typically before you moisturize.

If also using a retinol in your routine, be sure to alternate nightly to avoid skin irritation!

OUR RECOMMENDATION: ZO Skin Health Complexion Clearing Pads - contains both salicylic acid + glycolic acid for maximum smoothing, brightening and de-congesting!

Do you struggle with acne-prone skin? 🙋‍♀️

First a tiny bit about acne....

Acne occurs when your pores become blocked by dead skin cells, sebum, and/or bacteria. It is often due to a combination of 4 main causes:

1) Excessive sebum production
2) Bacteria
3) Skin cells clogging pores
4) Inflammation

Acne is often considered a chronic skin disorder and requires patience, realistic expectations, and long-term maintenance therapy.

So what can you do?

👉 Avoid picking acne, as it can exacerbate acne and worsen inflammation

👉 Avoid aggressive scrubbing

👉 Use a gentle cleanser

👉 Opt for noncomedogenic products

👉 Integrate a topical retinoid, benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid into your skin care routine

👉 Use a skin care redimen that is targeted for acne treatment, such as the ZO Complexion Clearing Program, which features a cleanser, exfoliator, sulfur mask, and glycolic acid + salicylic acid pads!

👉 Message us for a complimentary consultation where we can talk about your skin care needs and make recommendations. In some cases, prescription topicals may be necessary to get acne under control!

For many people, under eye circles are a frequent concern!

Many medical spas offer two options to address under eye circles: PRP & dermal filler 💉

At Her Health Co, we tend to try other modalities first before jumping to under eye filler. This is because filler under the eyes, also called "tear trough filler", can look really great immediately but over time can migrate, clump, or "bulge" in areas. Of course this is not the case with many clients, but it is significant enough that we often avoid this area!

Before opting for tear trough filler, we often will first try cheek filler, as this can help provide support to the under eyes and reduce the appearance of dark circles. Cheek filler is generally considered a safer area of the face to inject compared to the tear troughs, with less risk of adverse outcome.

We also LOVE PRP injections for under eye rejuvenation! It takes about three sessions to see full results, but PRP can brighten the tear trough area and reduce fine lines and wrinkles by increasing collagen production.

We hope you find this post helpful in differentiating under eye PRP from dermal filler. ✅

DM is if you have any questions!

Are you new to B O T O X? 💉

That's totally okay! We are here to clear up the air...

Here are some basic facts:

☑️ Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Nuceiva are all
essentially the same medication. They are derived from botulinum toxin, which is a neuromodulating chemical produced by a type of bacteria! Currently, HHC offers the former three.

☑️ These medications all work by interfering with
muscle activity and relaxing the facial muscles temporarily.

☑️ Since wrinkles are caused by repetitive muscle
activity in the face, the result is a reduced appearance
of wrinkles after Botox!

☑️ Treatment is quick and easy with minimal pain -
clients describe it as a feeling like tiny "bee stings" or
"pinpricks."

☑️ There is minimal downtime and usually no bruising
or swelling - you just need to avoid lying flat,
exercising, or rubbing the area for 4 hours after
treatment.

☑️ Botox is SAFE AND EFFECTIVE - it is considered a
medication that must be prescribed by a physician or
nurse practitioner. Apart from cosmetic uses, Botox
can also be used for several health & wellness
concerns!

☑️ We offer Botox for wrinkle relaxation, chronic
migraine management, TMJ pain, hyperhidrosis, and
more!
