Let's talk about acne

 
 
 
 

Acne is a skin concern that doesn’t discriminate by age. It’s a journey we’re all familiar with at some stage in life. And while we might instinctively feel the need to combat breakouts with tough ingredients, we see acne treatment as a need to nurture your skin, honour its needs, and embrace every inch of yourself with kindness.

 

Unpacking acne triggers

Acne springs from the depths of clogged pores, a rebellion of oil, dead cells, and bacteria against your skin. The culprits? Hormonal dances, gut health, stress levels, genetic blueprints, and, yes, sometimes that new foundation you just had to try.

 

Busting myths with gentle truths

Washing your face more won’t banish acne. Adults are in the acne club, too; and while we love blaming chocolate, it’s more about balance. Most importantly, attacking your skin with harsh treatments is not the answer.

Often, acne is a distress signal from skin craving moisture, battling inflammation, and overcompensating with oil. Our mantra? Nourish, don’t strip.

 

Acne-saving products

Here are some of our skincare heroes, all available to purchase in-salon:
