August is back to school month!  This year there is a lot of stress with the changes to the school routine.  You and your child should not have to worry about skin maintenance too.

Acne affects more than 80% of people from ages 12-24, so you are not alone in this struggle. We encourage preventative measures by implementing a good skincare routine.

To help you be proactive in your skincare journey, we want to introduce a few of our loved products:

NoLIO Foaming Cleanser

This cleanser provides a superior lather to remove makeup, dirt, spf, and excess oil. Its strong cleansing ability is paired with stearic acid, an important component for a strong skin barrier.

Element 47 Skin Fortifying Mist

Element 47 Skin Fortifying Mist is designed to preserve and enhance the skins function by preventing water loss and maintaining the naturally antimicrobial properties of the skins surface. Safe for skin on the face and body, Skin Fortifying Mist can be sprayed on hard-to-reach spots such as the back, or used with a cotton ball or pad as a toner. Refreshing and soothing for all skin types, Skin Fortifying Mist removes dirt, makeup and sunscreen left behind after cleansing without stripping the skin of its natural oils.

Skincare Tips

• Even if your skin is clear now, acne flare-ups can happen. It is important to maintain your skin through a continuous, daily regimen.
• The life-cycle of an acne flare-up is roughly eight weeks. During this time, avoid picking at the spots or touching your face to reduce the inflammation.
• Applying pressure to (or “popping”) a pimple that does not have a central collection of pus can likely cause a cyst.
• Although it may be difficult, reducing or eliminating dairy and sugar from your diet will decrease your risk of breakouts.
• Keep a bottle of Element 47 Skin Fortifying Mist handy for easy on-the-go cleansing to help avoid future breakouts.
• Stress is a leading cause of acne. Reduce your risk of breakouts by participating in stress relieving activities, such as meditation and yoga.
