Origin Skin Studio Holistic Acne Clinic

Does your skin look like this? Are you seeing small white/flesh toned bumps that feel like gravel when you run your fingers over them? These are incredibly common in acneic clients and most people don't have any idea what they are. These are called closed comedones. They are breakouts in the stage before something turns into an inflamed comedone of some kind (pustule, papule, cyst, nodule). The stage before this is called a micro comedone and you can't see them because they're underneath the skin. Sometimes closed comedones can be extracted but you should really leave extracting these up to your esthetician because they require the skin being prepped appropriately and they're a little difficult to deal with ....and also really hard to see what you're doing with them when they're on your own skin. When you have a lot of them within a fairly small area they're often being caused by using non acne safe (comedogenic) products whether it's your skincare, makeup, or even hair care. They can take a few...sometimes several months to completely be cleared so trusting the process and trusting your esthetician is imperative.

Healing is almost never linear. There's ups and downs to the extreme when clearing acne. It's exhausting. It's hard. I won't lie, I've had a few give up during the process. It can be so draining, but it's worth it to have long term results and clear skin. Thank you to my clients who have trusted me with their skin. Those who trusted my knowledge and experience. Those who trusted the process and stuck with it. I can promise every client 95% clearance of their acne. Everyone's timeline is different but we'll get you there. 🖤

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.
