Sugar – Insulin spikes trigger the release of excess oil in the skin which can clog pores.
Eggs – Did you know that eggs are high in progesterone? It’s a hormone that triggers acne, is hard to digest and can cause inflammation in the gut.
Alcohol and Caffeine – both of these stimulants can also cause inflammation
Be aware! Gut inflammation = Skin inflammation!
Fight Acne with Food!
Many clients tell us that their acne reduces during the summer months. This is due to the higher exposure of UV rays. You can get these type of benefits throughout the year by enjoying an LED facial at Bella or using an at-home LED facial device. We highly recommend blue or green LED to calm redness and kill acne bacteria. One thing you really need to avoid is heat. It is inflammatory to the skin, can trigger excess oil, swelling in the glands and clogging pores.
There are a number of simple acne checks you can do at home and with us at Bella:
TCA Cross: One of Bella’s miracle treatments to repair collagen and skin tissue in even the deepest of acne scars.
Ouchless Acne Laser Treatment: Ouchless is in the name because this treatment works without causing discomfort to clear, heal and prevent acne from the deep dermal layer to the outermost layer of skin.
IPL Photofacial: The IPL Photofacial is our “no makeup laser treatment” for a reason – it leaves skin spotless! The medical-grade, non-invasive treatment helps you regain an even skin tone reducing freckles, brown pigmentation and more.
