Tips for acne-prone skin

Since Jacquie Carter’s training in March about the importance of caring for our largest organ, I have indeed been taking good care of my skin – it has been a rare exception to miss my daily cleanse, tone and moisturise routines (morning and evening) as well as other weekly exfoliating treatments and masks etc.

The results so far are very encouraging – my skin is much clearer and radiant-looking and I have stopped wearing foundation every day which I had done for years to cover up my skin -  I am sure this is helping my skin even further. (Unfortunately years of neglect, sun-damage and acne have left my face scarred and freckled and I don’t think there is much that can be done about that, but we’ll see…)

I recently contacted Jacquie to ask her a few more questions about acne-prone skin and was interested to hear some new tips that she was kind enough to pass on so I’m sharing them with you here, I hope you will find them helpful: Acne can be a genetic issue a hormonal issue, so many different causes….even certain medications can flare up acne. We tend to stress out over breakouts only making them worse. It’s a true catch 22.

Acne is a condition that has so many contributing factors it is hard to determine what to do.  [As well as the Skin Care and Cellular Nutrition] I would suggest including Herbalifeline to get some Omega’s into the system.


• Introduce exfoliating into your routine gradually.  Many breakouts are due to tiny skin particles becoming trapped beneath excess oil and ultimately being pushed into a pore.  The pore becomes clogged and bacteria begins to build beneath the skin resulting in a breakout.  By exfoliating regularly you can remove the skin particles from your face so they don’t get trapped and embedded into your pores.

• Most acne cases can take up to 3 to 4 months to treat.  You have to unclog the pore, control the bacteria and reduce the inflammation.  It can be quite challenging.

• Make sure you wash off your telephones and your cell phone.  Many people get breakouts on one side of their face due to bacteria found on their telephones.  Clean them regularly.

• Make sure your hair is clean.  Our hair is a big transfer area for oil and impurities so you need to make sure it is washed regularly.  If your hair hangs in your face at all try to pull it back while you sleep to avoid any transfer of oil or debris.

• Change your pillow cases frequently.  Any existing bacteria on your skin is being transferred to your pillow case when you sleep so change them regularly to stop the back and forth of bacteria and oils.
