Thank you to everyone who helped me collect donations for Chris Dugan's 1st winter warm up drive for the homeless community of Sheboygan! Lots of coats, blankets and boots. I'm sure all of it will be very helpful! 🖤

Such an interesting post! Diet matters!!!

17% of the calories in the typical U.S. diet come from refined vegetable oil (seed oils). These foods are the major sources of omega-6 fatty acids in our diet & are the primary reason why the western diet causes a pro-inflammatory profile that adversely influences the cytokines involved in acne.

Refined vegetable oils contain too much omega 6 fats & too little omega-3 fats, thereby promoting excess inflammation through an inflammatory hormone called IL-1 alpha, which can cause skin cells to stick together & block the pore.

Eating processed seed oils like soybean oil, canola oil, shortening (Crisco), hydrogenated oils, corn oil, margarine, sunflower oil, & safflower oil, will cause clogged pores.

Most of these vegetable oils are in processed foods, margarines, spreads, & cooking oils.

The average omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acid balance in the U.S. diet is 10:1 - too high in inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids which compete with anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids. The ideal ratio is about 2:1.

A "healthy" person has about 2% of PUFA (omega 6) in their body fat on average, however, people eating a SAD standard American diet may contain as much as 30% of PUFA in their body fat.

Higher than normal levels of PUFAs can lead to bodily inflammation & reduced energy, which, in turn, can contribute to clogged pores among other things.

If you do not get enough omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon or other fatty fish, your diet will be more pro-inflammatory than anti-inflammatory.

Vegan diets, paleo diets, & even simple "health-conscious" diets consisting of chicken & salads with vegetable oils can be high in omega 6s.

Poultry products have become the main source of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), the omega 6 type. Most grain-fed chickens contain a high percentage of omega 6 fatty acids. All chickens are fed grain. Even the ones allowed access to pasture are supplemented with grain. Chicken meat has a higher PUFA content in comparison to beef.

And that's why you wash your face in the morning and not just at night.

Two Demodex species live on human faces: one in hair follicles, the other in oil glands.

They spread early in life, thrive with age or oily skin, and while mostly harmless, overgrowth links to conditions like rosacea and blepharitis.

I'm not a regular Esthetician... I'm a cool Esthetician. 😎 Does your esty have games for you to play while you mask?! I do!

Have you ever had an Esthetician spend 3 hours with you at your first appointment? Probably not. At Origin Skin Studio your Diagnostic Facial (which is your first appointment) is extremely thorough. We'll spend 3 hours going over your lifestyle, habits, diet, beauty products and more. We'll even do a mini facial to analyze the skin and get you started. Acne isn't just an external issue. It's also internal. It matters what you're putting ON your skin and IN your body. That's why I take the time to analyze every possible trigger at your very first appointment. You'll go home with a new client kit that includes your first week of barrier repair skincare and a facial towel. You'll feel empowered instead of overwhelmed. Let's tackle this together.
