When you think of acne, you might conjure up images of a pimply faced teenage kid working behind the counter at a fast food joint, but the truth is that acne can strike anyone at any age. Teenagers, pregnant and hormonal ladies, and even middle aged people can be inflicted with active acne. As a new esthetician, how do you treat these special clients? Start with a lot of sympathy and compassion because if you have ever had an outbreak of acne you know you just want to run for cover, the last thing you want is for the world to see your red, inflammed skin! So, be kind, be patient and help your client zap zits.
(1) Use high quality acne reducing products ( I love Image Clear Cell Medicated) & recommend your client uses it at home, on as needed basis. Not a good idea to use these products on surrounding skin that is not afflicted with acne...it can cause irritation to stable skin.
(2) Electric Facials
(3) Clay Masks ( I love Bioelements-this dries out those pesky zits!)
(4) Microdermabrasion (manual or organic)-sand blast those clogged pores! If you do organic ( I highly recommend Eminence Pear Microderm)
(5) Vitamin C is another great anti-inflammation product.
(6) Any product containing oatmeal will also help with inflammation.
