Natural Skin Care Products for Acne & Problem Skin
We need to establish healthy habits and daily routines to get the results we desire.
Our skin is a microclimate of ‘good bacteria’ necessary to regulate our skin, fight infection and retain moisture. However, with the increasing use of synthetics, preservatives, parabens and sulphates in traditional skincare, our skin’s natural healing and pH balancing abilities can be dramatically decreased, as good bacteria are stripped, and moisture levels depleted.
Au Natural - Products to Combat Acne & Problem Skin
Dealing with problematic skin can be incredibly frustrating. Hormones, genetics, age and environment are contributors to problem skin that we cannot control. P.acnes (bacteria causing acne) live in hair follicles. When these pores become blocked, the bacteria multiplies and contributes to the inflammation called acne.
Active 16+ Manuka honey and Kanuka honey have unique antibacterial qualities that will balance skin microbiome, reduce redness and help to control sebum and oil flow. With continued use of active 16+ plus Manuka honey, a stronger protective barrier will develop, protecting the skin from external damage, promoting repair and clearing the skin.
