Acne can be frustrating, stubborn, and unpredictable. If you are constantly battling breakouts, you have probably tried countless skincare products and treatments, hoping to find the one that works.
But with so much conflicting advice, it’s hard to know what actually helps. One promising solution? Facials designed specifically for acne-prone skin, like the AquaFirme XS – The Ultimate Hydrating Facial.
We offer the Aquafirm XS Hydrating Facial as well as other restorative treatments at our wellness clinic in Tempe, AZ.
What Causes Acne?
Acne is not simply caused by oily skin or forgetting to wash your face. Multiple factors contribute to breakouts, including:
- Excess oil production: When your sebaceous glands produce too much oil, it can clog pores.
- Dead skin buildup: Without proper exfoliation, dead skin cells can block pores and lead to breakouts.
- Bacteria: Acne-causing bacteria, Propionibacterium acnes, thrive in clogged pores and trigger inflammation.
- Hormonal imbalances: Fluctuating hormones (especially during puberty, menstruation, or stress) can cause excessive oil production.
- Diet and lifestyle factors: High-glycemic foods, dairy, stress, and poor sleep can all contribute to acne flare-ups.
Myths About Acne Treatments
There are a lot of misconceptions about acne care. Let’s clear up some common myths:
- Only teenagers get acne. Acne can affect anyone at any age, including adults.
- Drying out your skin will stop acne. Over-drying leads to more oil production, making acne worse.
- Popping pimples helps them heal faster. It actually increases inflammation and can lead to scarring.
- Facials make acne worse. Not true! When done correctly, facials can deeply cleanse and hydrate the skin without irritation.
Do Facials Help Acne?
Yes—when you choose the right facial. Traditional facials that use harsh exfoliants or heavy oils may worsen breakouts, but hydrating and detoxifying facials can help remove impurities, balance oil production, and reduce inflammation.
AquaFirme XS: The Ultimate Hydrating Facial for Acne-Prone Skin
Unlike traditional facials, AquaFirme XS uses advanced technology to gently cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse the skin with hydrating serums.
This advanced technology uses a combination of conical extraction and micro-cupping to effectively lift impurities from the skin, while gentle vibrating massage enhances blood circulation.
Together, these techniques provide a deep-cleansing, exfoliating, and revitalizing experience that promotes a clearer, healthier complexion.
Here’s why it’s a great choice for acne-prone skin:
- Deep pore cleansing: Removes excess oil, dead skin, and debris that cause breakouts.
- Hydration without clogging pores: Keeps the skin balanced and reduces irritation.
- Infusion of skin-boosting nutrients: Delivers antioxidants, peptides, and hydration to support healing.
- Gentle exfoliation: Improves skin texture without triggering inflammation
Beyond Skincare: Health Optimization for Clear Skin
Your skin reflects what is happening inside your body. Addressing acne requires more than just external treatments; internal health plays a crucial role as well. At Pure Body Health, our health optimization services focus on:
- Hormone balance: Addressing imbalances that may contribute to acne.
- Gut health: Supporting digestion and reducing inflammation that can manifest as skin issues.
- Nutritional guidance: Identifying foods that trigger breakouts and promoting skin-friendly nutrition.
- Stress management: Chronic stress increases cortisol levels, leading to breakouts.
