Editor’s Highlight: MediBac Clearing for Adult Acne February 2, 2010

So, I took a wonderful class yesterday at the International Dermal Institute about Adult Acne. So many of our clients are dealing with this issue, and the class confirmed that about 1/2 of the US adult population is dealing with acne in some form…shocking! In fact, the median age for acne these days is 26! And it’s different from teenage acne; adults tend to have breakouts along the mouth and jawline (hormonal areas), and tend to get more inflammation. Fun stuff!

So many things are to blame for this acne phenomenon. Ask yourself…are you under a lot of stress? Have you changed any medications recently? A new birth control? Are you washing your pillowcases regularly? Are your phones clean? Sometimes pinpointing a factor can help subdue acne.

If you are one of the many adults dealing with breakouts…have no fear! The Dermalogica MediBac Clearing line for adult acne is the ULTIMATE product line. It addresses the main causes of adult breakouts, and helps to calm inflammation and prevent future breakouts. Whew! Glad to know that we have worthy products to recommend to our clients…acne is so frustrating.

Dermalogica MediBac Skin Kit

I like to get people started with this adult acne skin kit. It has:

• Medicated cleanser
• Clearing Mattifier (to control shine and breakouts during the day)
• Overnight Clearing Gel (to help you wakeup to gorgeous skin!)
• Oil Control Lotion (to give you hydration without feeling greasy)
• Concealing Spot Treatment (conceals breakouts while treating them, too)
• Sebum Clearing Mask (an AWESOME treatment that you can’t miss out on…it won ‘Best Acne Product’ by AOL Health Readers!!!)

The kit is a great way to try the line…our clients always come back for more once they see the results!

Dermalogica Wins “Best Acne Fighter” at AOL Health June 24, 2009

Dermalogica’s MediBac Clearing Adult Acne line was just named #1 by AOL users!

Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque

The Sebum Clearing Masque won top honors, with a 9.5 out of 10 rating. The product won tons of praises…most fans cited the product’s ability ot absorb oil without overdrying the skin.

That’s the beauty of this Dermalogica acne system…it strikes the perfect balance of absorbing oil and keeping skin hydrated. So many acne lines  focus on drying out oil. That gives you initial results, but eventually your body overcompensates for this severe dryness by overproducing even more oil!

Not only does Sebum Clearing Masque help manage oil and prevent future breakouts…it also helps calm irritation that is often present with acne. Skin looks cleaner and healthier!

So, there’s your proof. Don’t listen to what commercials are telling you- listen to what real product users are saying. We love Dermalogica because it’s results-driven, and it loooks like everyone agrees.

Adult Acne…A Rising Concern! February 3, 2009

That’s right…adult acne is very common, ESPECIALLY with  women! In fact, 54% of women over the age of 25 are

Overnight Clearing Gel

dealig with it. Why? Researchers believe that CHRONIC STRESS is the most common factor (no surprise)! Other cuplrits can include: genetics, cosmetics, hormones and the environment (pollution and heat can aggravate the skin).

Adult acne tends to be focused around the chin, jaw line and neck. Unfortunately, it can be accompanied with changes in pigmentation and tends to heal more slowly.

So, what’s a girl to do?! First, check your cosmetics for bad ingredients. Isopropyl Myristate is a big time no-no…the chemicals in it can cause the mirror in make-up compacts to come unglued. Yikes! Also avoid mineral oil, lanolin, S.D. Alcohol and fragrance.

Please do yourself a favor and check out Dermalogica’s MediBac Clearing line for Adult Acne. It is specifically designed to treat adult acne (which requires a completely different regimen than teenage acne)!

And look for these GREAT INGREDIENTS in your products:

• Salicylic Acid (helps dissolve oil and is great for treating whiteheads and blackheads)
• Tea Tree Oil (anti-bacterial)
• Triclosan (anti-microbial)
• Sulfur (absorbs oil)
• Benzyl Peroxide (anti-bacterial)
• Menthol (cooling, anti-inflammatory)
• Witch Hazel (soothes inflammation, a natural astringent)
• Clays like Bentonite, Kaolin, Magnesium (absorb oils)
• Calming Agents like Chamomile, Aloe Vera, Allantoin, Spiraea, Bisabolol, Red Raspberry, Coneflower, Menthol, Balm Mint and Zinc Sulfate
