Stubborn Acne Around the Chin and Mouth
As an
Esthetician specializing in Adult Acne and Sensitivity, acne in pores where oil
glands are larger due to being located in the “T-Zone” but where pore sizes are
smaller due to facial contours, is the most common problem I see in my clients,
both in the salon and in my online adult acne coaching service across the nation. Excess oil from all kinds of hormonal changes
rush into pores causing inflammation of pore linings, resulting in swelling,
redness and pain.

Wedding Prep for Adult Acne
In the
20+ years that I have been specializing in Adult Acne, I’ve had people contact me just a few weeks
before their wedding (a few people, even just 2 weeks ahead), to book a facial
to get rid of their breakouts.
If someone tells me her breakouts are very recent from stress, that’s one thing. In that instance I tell her a facial will exfoliate, calm and hydrate her skin to prep for better makeup application, but when it comes to clearing her breakout, I tell her it’s actually best to treat it at home with my Ice Therapy technique twice a day.

Enjoy Your Chocolate This Valentine's Day!
I wrote about the connection between various foods and Adult Acne breakouts. Naturally, the time around Valentine's Day brings up questions about the chocolate-breakout connection. Dermatologists have long poo-pooed the idea that there is a connection between the two, and I think it's because the focus was always on the chocolate -- that is, the cocoa. There's more here than meets the eye!
Think about this: when are you most likely to eat chocolate? Around your period! And when do you break out the most? You get the idea...

However, and this is a big however, with mounting evidence that there is indeed a connection between dairy and some acne conditions, and between sugar and increased inflammation in the body leading to worsening of existing acne conditions, chocolate is starting to be seen under a new light.
