How to get rid of a blemish without making it look worse.

10/14/2013

0 Comments

 
Blemishes are clogged hair follicles.  Follicles can become clogged for a variety of  reasons ranging from uneven skin pH balance, harsh cleansers, stress, environmental elements and physical blockage (like dead skin cells and makeup).
Your body naturally produces its own oil called sebum to keep the outer layers of skin moisturized and healthy.  Hair follicles become clogged with sebum and other surface impurities to form the blemishes we all know and love.
a simple breakdown...

So here we go....How to get rid of a blemish without making it look worse.

Wash your face and hands with warm water.
Gently Exfoliate with an antibacterial facial scrub or a soft , clean facial towel to remove dead skin cells and debris.

most important to remember...

BLACKHEADS
An open follicle plug of hardened sebum and dead skin cells.  The dark color is from oxidation due to exposure to air.  These blemishes tend to occur in larger pores and must be removed manually.

WHITEHEADS
Another version of a follicle plug, but these pores have a very small opening preventing oxidation and keeping the plug white. 

PIMPLES
Pimples...the pretty red and white bumps...are a bacterial invasion of clogged pores occurring in many different forms ranging from mild to cysts.  Your body can naturally fight these if you have the patience to wait it out.  If not, see the infographic How to Get Rid of a Blemish Without Making it Look Worse.

Consistency is always key!  A simple, quality skin care routine of prevention is much easier than reversing damage.

Antibacterial scrubs help keep skin surface free of dead skin cells, bacteria and debris.  This also encourages formation of new, healthy cells and stimulates blood flow to feed the outer layers of skin.
Certain clays bind with impurities and pull them to the surface of skin for easy removal and are often used as treatments in clay masks. 

Try our invigorating Coffee Bean Scrub and Vitamin C Deep Clean Mask for pure, fresh, naturally beneficial treatments.
