Acne can strike at any age, although it’s more common among teenagers and sometimes in women going through menopause.
Acne surfaces during times of hormonal imbalance. When glands produce more oil than normal, skin pores get clogged, allowing bacteria and pimples to grow.
Some of the contributing factors in acne can be a deficiency or excess of minerals, such as copper and zinc. Women in general will find that their acne will act up right before their menstrual period due to increase in estrogen levels. When estrogen elevates, so to does copper. Copper and zinc are antagonistic to each other and when copper rises zinc becomes depleted. This imbalance promotes acne along with moodiness, anxiety and depression. Stress exacerbates acne due to an increased level of cortisol, which contributes to excess sebum production. Lack of sleep is another contributing factor.
Most people suffering from acne are found to have low levels of Zinc in their diet, also those who have low levels of vitamin C, E and Selenium are also more at risk.
There are a number of methods for reducing acne and when done correctly will produce great results. We start with a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis to determine the current metabolic status. With this information we can use the appropriate WellvilleSpa Nutrition Plan along with targeted supplements to balance biochemistry of the body. This is not an overnight process however will also improve other issues within the body.
In addition to the WellvilleSpa Nutrition Program there are a number of other supportive therapies that we would recommend.
Infrared sauna therapy helps to remove toxic heavy metals from the body, kill bacteria, eliminate infections and improve the appearance of the skin.
Regular facials using the appropriate Keyano Aromatics Skin Care Products is highly recommended. The Keyano Aromatics Alpha Beta Exfoliating Cleanser, Marine Plasma, Mud Mask and Balancing Cream work very well to improve acneic skin.
Oil Pulling
Your mouth is the gateway to a healthy mind and body. The mouth is a breeding ground for germs that can migrate to other parts of the body leading to many degenerative conditions. Oil pulling is incredibly effective in reducing acne, dandruff, brightening teeth, healing gums, preventing bad breath, quenching inflammation, and healing oral infections and skin disorders. It is also effective in treating many systemic conditions throughout the body. Clarity Pulling Oil provides a dual therapeutic function by improving oral health through swishing the oil in your mouth as well as drawing impurities from the body through topical dermal application.
Oil pulling works by removing disease causing microorganisms from the mouth and skin. Most microorganisms that inhibit the mouth and skin are single celled and have a lipid outer membrane. This lipid or fatty membrane is attracted to oil like a magnet and when the oil is swished in your mouth or applied to the skin, bacteria and viruses are drawn from between the teeth and pores and eliminated. With a reduced bacterial and toxic load, the body is able to divert its energy to self-healing.
