Skin Emergencies: Acne

May 11th, 2010

“I woke up with a big red pimple!”

Acne has many causes, incl genetics, hormonal changes, overactive sebaceous glands and the buildup of dead skin cells.  A pimple forms when sebum becomes trapped in the hair follicle and mixes w/ dead skin cells.

At Home Treatment: For acne, follow a regular at-home skin regime with cleansing, treatment serums and hydration. For example, IS Clinical Cleansing Complex, Active Serum, and Moisturizing Complex.
