The reality of speaking to customers who suffer from adult acne is that you get to see a lot of damaged skin, and what caused that damage to occur. I would say the most common skincare concern from people with acne prone skin is scarring, inflammation, open pores, blackheads and nutrient deficient skin.
Most of the time, this is caused from an initial small breakout, that is then treated with harsh topical products that strip important layers of sebum, oil and damage the top layer of skin flora and skin barrier.
Along with picking spots that creates redness and scarring, the end result is worse than whose most people usually start off with.
The Radiance Powder is our daily food supplement.
Our new topical range is made for the skin's surface.
If your skin is new to our range, try the new launches alongside the Radiance Powder for 30 days to begin with.
Read on for our explanation of why we chose an organic cold pressed oil as the format for an SPF50.
WHY AN SPF50 OIL MAY SUIT YOUR SKIN
Adult acne is different from pubescent acne as it is often associated with an imbalance - be it hormonal, digestive, mental through stress, or even due to a physical irritation on skin's surface. Either way it causes a breakout.
STEP 1 is always to look at what is going on underneath, not just at the surface.
IN THE MEANTIME, the Radiance Powder is your daily food supplement and the SPF50 your daily sun protection.
Our SPF50 oil protects the sebaceous glands on your skin, which are part of the body's exocrine system, sebum being a vital part of the skin's natural oil.
Removing these natural oils by using drying or stripping skincare not only reduces the build up of oil that may cause acne, but actually ages skin, leaves it more susceptible to scarring, pigmentation, premature wrinkles, sun burn, dryness, the list goes on.
This is the problem with quick fixes when it comes to acne - they often lead to worse long term results. Sebum is a vital component of normal, healthy skin and our SPF50 Oil has been created to protect the healthy sebum production skin needs to flourish topically.
Sebum is also the body's built-in moisturizer, responsible for locking in hydration. It is integral to the acid mantle, a thin layer of skin barrier that helps neutralize invading pathogens and stabilize the skin's PH levels.
Sebum is part of the skin's own barrier.
This is the main reason why we created Glow Screen SPF 50 in oil format. It is a multi-purpose product that nourishes and protects simultaneously and due to cold pressed oil offering a far larger botanical concentration than a moisturizer ever could, you are getting more benefit per drop.
This formula has taken us 2 years to complete, and is the reason we decided to go with an organic cold-pressed oil vs a moisturizer.
When you apply oil based products on oily skin, they can actually help reduce excess oil production and breakouts better than other topical products can.
Certain oils actually repair the skin barrier and nourish broken skin rather than drying it out.
This is why we built GlowScreen as an oil: a high sun protection factor in a format that suits blemish-prone skin.
We have included a high percentage of linoleic acid in our new SPF 50 Oil, along with other ingredients like resveratrol and magnolia bark oil. Check out the shop page here.
