Skin Care Solutions for Acne

Condition overview

  • Acne symptoms include plugged pores (blackheads and whiteheads), inflamed pimples, cysts and deep bumps known as nodules.
  • Caused by fluctuating hormones, bacteria levels, certain medications and even heredity.
  • Although most often associated with teenagers, adult acne is very common and can be linked to hormones from ovulation, menstruation, childbirth or menopause.
  • The overproduction of sebum (oil), irregular shedding of dead skin cells and a buildup of bacteria all contribute to the formation of acne.
  • Over cleansing or scrubbing your skin can aggravate the condition, making acne worse.
  • Although it mostly occurs on the face, acne can also be found on the chest, back and shoulders.
Acne Despite the myths, acne is not caused by dirt and very rarely by foods.

Key ingredient to look for

  • Tea Tree Oil

    Tea Tree Oil

    A powerful essential oil, tea tree oil is thought to have antimicrobial properties to heal and prevent acne without the dryness and irritation associated with conventional products such as benzoyl peroxide. Pure tea tree oil, available from Primavera, should only be directly applied when diluted appropriately with water or aloe vera. Mix one-part oil with nine parts water or pure aloe vera gel.

  • Aloe Vera

    Aloe Vera

    Long used for its anti-inflammatory qualities, aloe vera helps rebuild scarred or damaged skin. It soothes skin and can help reduce swelling and redness in current acne while the mild astringent qualities prevent further outbreaks.

  • Calendula

    Calendula

    Extremely gentle, yet ideal for promoting healing, calendula has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. Used for centuries to treat everything from insect bites and burns to cuts and scrapes, it also helps calm and soothe eczema, acne and psoriasis.

  • Honey

    Honey

    Full of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, honey helps heal acne while simultaneously soothing skin. It's also non-irritating and non-drying. Manuka honey from New Zealand, found in many Living Nature products, is specifically known for its healing and repairing benefits for skin conditions ranging from acne and eczema to burns and infections.

Alternative recommendations

  • Look for products with a pH of 5.5 or less, as acne-contributing bacteria are minimally present at this level.
  • Wash and dry your skin softly and use gentle products that won't irritate or dry out skin.
  • To prevent bacteria from building up, avoid touching your face often with your hands.
  • Clean your phone often, as oil can build up on the objects that touch your face and cause pores to become clogged.
  • Don't try to pick at or squeeze your blemishes, as it can push the bacteria deeper into your skin and could also cause scarring.
