Drivers of Acne …

We know that many of the primary drivers of acne stem from deep within the body. The main drivers we see affecting our patients' skin include: having an over-burdened liver, hormonal imbalances, opportunistic pathogen overgrowth (bacteria, fungi, parasites) and gut permeability.

While it's imperative that we take care of these internal factors when working towards optimal skin health - it's also important to note the importance of our skin's delicate microbiome.

Our skin's unique microbiome keeps our skin barrier healthy - maintaining the hydration within, and ensuring pollutants and bacteria stay out. A majority of the products on the market including make up, creams, soaps, cleansers, wipes, sunscreens etc. contain harmful ingredients that disrupt the skin microbiome.

The skin absorbs what we put on it - including chemicals, so choose wisely!
