ACNE ANALYSIS AND CONSULTATION
Acne is definitely a four-letter word for people who suffer with it. lt is an inherited disorder of the pores
pores that want to sludge up with dead skin cells much like a clogged drain in your sink. Normal pores
shed about one layer of dead skin cells per day inside the pore. The acne-prone pore sheds up to five
iayers of dead skin cells per day and the body just can't keep up. This forms blackheads or congestion
under the skin; and if bacteria are present {which just loves to feed on the dead skin cells and oil}, you will
get inflamed pimples or pustules.
There are two types of acne (or sometimes a combination of the two). Your esthetician will determine
which type you are:
Acne is a mysterious disorder, but one thing lS for sure - it can be controlled with the right combination ofproducts used in the correct way. Just as in a clogged drain, the pore must be treated with products that
unclog it and kill the acne bacteria. The Face Reality Skin Care system has what you need to do just this.
The Face Reality Skin Care System will have your acne under control in about three to four months
depending on your type of acne. lt combines the power of pharmaceutical-grade homecare products that
are custornized for your type of acne and skin with a series of bi-monthly treatments that facilitate the
clearing of your skin. You will be taught about other aggravating factors that rnake you break out - foods,
medications, cosmetics, stress, and common ingredients in skin care formulations that might be clogging
your pores{even professional and prescription productsl}.
Your progress will be closely monitored by a Face Reality Certified Acne Specialist who will make sure you
have the best regimen for your skin - making adjustments, if necessary, to get your skin healthy and clear
in the fastest way possible.

ACNE TREATMENT AND
As you go through the process of achieving clear skin you will
want to come in every two weeks for treatments and for
homecare adjustments. Treatments do the following:
1. Exfoliate the skin so that home-core product con
penetrate the Pore more eosilY.
2. Hydrate the skin, if needed, so that the skin is receptive
to your home-care regimen. The products also tend to
dry out the skin somewhot as you ore getting used tothem.
i. Extract existing scne impoctions.
4. Kill ocne bacteria inside the pore.
Each treatment has a specific focus for what the skin needs at
the time of treatment. Sometimes the skin will need more
hydration, other times it will need more anti-bacterial action.
Your esthetician will anolyze your skin at the beginning of every
treatment fo sssess which treotment would serve You best,
The other reason for seeing you every two weeks is to assess
your horne care regimen. There will almost always be changes
made to how you use your home care every two weeks to make
sure you stay ahead of your skin's ability to adapt to products.
Your clear skin expert will want to check and make sure that
your home care is not too strong and irritating so you can
achieve that balance between getting you clear as fast as
possible without irritating and dehydrating your skin.
IMPORTANT **lf,far some reoson, you con't mske it to yaur
appointment every two weeks, you will need to call or email us
for your next step in your bomecore regimen. Failing to do so
will impede your progress and you won't get clear ss quickly.

LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT AFFECT ACNE
. Reduce Stress and Get Enough Sleep
Stress stimulates the adrenal gland and in the acne-prone individual, the adrenal gland promotes
oil production which leads to clogged pores.
. No Picking or Squeezing
Instead, rub ice on pustules and pimples for a couple of minutes, twice a day. Try to catch themwhen they are first forming and they most likely will go away.
**IMPORTANT - lf you pick, squeeze and breok the skin, thot scab will leave q red mark that willbe there far months making your skin look WAY worse than if you left it olone.
. Use Fragrance-Free Detergents
fxamples of these are Cheer Free, All Free & Clear, Tide Free, Arm & Hammer Free but there are
many on the market.
r No Fabric Softener
Do not use this in the washer and/or the dryer {no dryer sheets}. The waxy residue gets on your
pillowcases, towels, wash cloths and sheets that have direct contact with the skin. lt will clog
pores on acne-prone individuals. lf you are want somethinB to stop static cling in your dryer,
you can get anti-static balls at Bed Bath and Beyond.
r No Water Softeners
There is some evidence that water softeners can lead to acne, especially those containing high
amounts of potassium chloride.
. Sun Exposure and Acne.
Although sun €xposure causes desirable scaling and drying, it also damages the follicle,
exacerbates hyperpigmentation, causes skin cancer and premature aging
Warm climates with heat and humidity can exacerbate acne.
You will be using a noncomedogenic sunscreen every day, not just to protect your skin from the
sun, but to keep your skin hydrated during the day.
**IMPORTANT - Using it will keep your skin from getting dry from acne products
r No "Lo" Dose Birth Control Pills
Avoid low estrogen birth control pills. "Lo" dose pills are higher in androgen hormones that can
make acne-prone skin worse.
r Other Birth Control and Hormone Repla€ementNorplant, Provera, and Depo-Provera shots, Mirena and Nuvo Rings can cause breakouts.
Also progesterone hormone replacement Premarin can be problematic, lf you have polycystic
ovaries, they will cause hormonal changes and breakout.
e For Swimmers
Swimming pool disinfectants contain lodides and Chlorine, which can remain in the water,
causing skin problems for frequent swimmers. Many swimmers find that the combination of hot
and humid weather, the physical exercise of swimming and the chlorinated pools, can cause
major acne flare-ups.

LIFESTYLE CHOICES THAT AFFECT ACNE
FOODS
This is a guideline only - you are not being asked to eliminate foods or food groups completely;
these are only suggestions to cut back and moderate some food types. The "Try to Eliminate"
group has been proven to be a problem for rnost acne sufferers. Sorne people have trigger
foodssuchascitrusbutthisisnotacrosstheboard. ltisbestifyoustartnoticinganycauseandeffect with the foods you eat.
Try To Reduce Acceptable Substitute
Also, try to cut back on caffeine and sugar products. Research has shown that high-glycemic
diets can be a problem for the acne-prone,
SUPPLEMENTS
The following supplements have been found to be useful in aiding your recovery from acne.
Your esthetician may make recommendations based on the type of acne you have.
Zinc Monomethionine
The most bioavailable form of zinc that acts directly as an anti-inflammatory. Many people with
acne have low levels of zinc in their body; and supplementing with zinc has been shown toreduce severity of cysts and inflamed lesions.
Omega 3 Fish Oils
These are good fats that also act as an anti-inflammatory in the body. While recomrnended forall acne sufferers, they are particularly beneficial for women whose breakouts are linked toPMS. Omega oils also positively alter sebum production in the skin improving radiance and
resilience of the skin.
Probiotics
Good bacteria that colonize the digestive tract and the skin. They can help people who have
been on long-term antibiotics {both oral and topical). These good bacteria compete with thepathogenic bacteria and can help improve the incidence of breakouts. Good quality yogurts are
a good choice or your esthetician can recommend a good brand available for purchase.

Pore Clogging Ingredients in Skin Care
Do not ever put anything on youf skin or your hair without checking the ingr€dienB first, even if it says "won't clog pores" or "noncomedogenic" on the bottle.
govemment agency oversees this so skincare companies can claim their products promote clear skin and have pore cloggers in their ingredient deck.
**Nctursl oils csn be some of the atorst offenders like cocod butter dnd coconut oil which are found in mdny "organi{ skin care lines.
Other oils such as jojoba, olive and lanolin are mildly comedogenic and can be a problem if formulated with other comedogenic ingredients.
Some prescription products like the cream form of Retin A have pore cloggers. Many over-the-counter acne medications also have pore clogging ingredients.
"Oil-free' products can be comedogenic.
These are all ingredients that can agBravate acne. The higher the number assigned to it, the more propensity it has to clog your pores.
Makeup
The best makeup is one that does not contain comedotenic in8redients. Loose powder, mineral make-up tends to be the safest choice but still should be checked.
Bare Minerals Original Formula loose powder foundation is a safe choice; however the newer Bare Minerals Matte is NOT a safe choice * it contains ActiveSoil
Complex that is causing breakouts for most users.
Any pressed or liquid products also should be checked for pore-clogging ingredients. We do not recommend any of the pressed Bare Minerals blushes, bronzers or
veils.

" Steroids -Topical or oral cortiscosteroids {like Prednisone} are often used to treat asthrna and other chrenic lung diseases
Like cor"tisoi, a natural steroid produced by the body during tinies of intense stress, corticosteroids can stimu ate sebum
production and lead to b emishes. Dexamethasone, prednisoione, betamethasone, cortisone, hydrocortisone, and
trlamcinolonel, and anabolic steroids {danocrine {Danazoi) and stanozoiol iStomba}j corticosieroicis [prednisone,methylprednisone can cause acne.

. Medications containing iodine or bromine - These medications are much less common today than in earlier years, but
some are still in use. ln the United States today, it is probably more likely to see acne-like outbreaks resulting from heavy
consumption of iodine-containing health foods such as kelp. The iodine-caused lesions can occur at any age, they occur
rapidly after the consumptions of large amounts of iodine, they are likely to be widespread on the face and body, and
inflammatory pustules are common.

ACNE MED (BENZOYL PEROXTDE) TNFORMATTON
Follow the Timetable
Benzoyl Peroxide can be extremely irritating and drying. During the initial weeks, you will experience
some dryness, redness, itching, flaking, tightness or mild peeling. This is temporary and will subside
as your skin adapts to the product. Try to put up with some peeling as it will eventually go away; but
if you get "uncomfortably dry", then let us know.
Not on Eye or Lower Neck
Do not use Acne Med on your neck or eye area as the tissue is too delicate and will irritate the skintoo much.
No Eye Cream
Do not use eye cream or moisturizer around the eyes or neck because the acne Med will migrate
through the cream and cause irritation and possible swelling.
Eye lrritationAllow your Acne Med to dry before going to bed. lf your eyelids get irritated, try changing your
pillowcase more often. When you are wearing acne med all night, it will get on the pillowcase.
Smile Lines
This area tends to be the most sensitive area on the face and will be the first place you see irritation
and dryness. You can put a very thin layer of Vaseline on this area to occlude it for a few days and
then resume product use there.
Not When Working Out
Do not wear Acne Med when you expect to perspire, as in exercising or physical labor or getting hot
in the sun. lf you are wearing it, wash it off or it will irritate your skin.
Will Bleach Fabric
Acne Med will bleach fabric, so we suggest wearing a white shirt or T-shirt when using it. Also, use a
white washcloth when removing from your skin, Use white pillowcases when you start wearing itovernight. Make sure and wash your hands with soap after using it to avoid bleaching towels.
Allergic Reaction
Allergies to benzoyl peroxide are rare but do occur occasionally. Dry skin does not constitute an
allergic reaction; rather an allergy is characterized by itching, swelling or burning associated with a
rash similar to a mild case of poison ivy dermatitis. lf an allergic reaction occurs, stop using Acne Med
and contact us immediatelv.
Use Religiously
lf you skip a day or two or only spot treat, it gives a chance for acne to form. You will never get clear
if you skip your homecare.

Birth control for acne simnlified
Birth control pills are widely used today and prescribed often as a means to control acne. Most pills can have the
potential to cause acne and weight gain in those susceptible. Typically the pills are divided up as estrogen or
progestin dominant and have varying degrees of androgenic (testosterone like) effects. As a general rule of thumb,
pills with the potential for higher androgenic symptoms should be avoided for people prone to acne because they
promote breakouts. As an acne sufferer it is important to speak with your doctor about a selecting a pill that is higher
in estrogen and lower in androgen pot€ncy.
Th€ most commonly prescribed pills in this category are:
Diane 35{Dianette)
Yasmin
Denrulan(Zovia)
Ortho tri cyclen
Nevicon modicon
Ortho evra
Mircette
Desogen(Apri)
It is best to avoid the following pills that are high in androgen activity and low in estrogen. which are some of the following:
Loestrin
Estrotrep Fe
Levlen
Alesse
Ovral
Norestrin
Nuvo ring
Mirena ring
Depoprovera shot
Only you and your doctor can determine what pill is right for you. The above is just a basic Auideline that should be
used to initiate a conversation between you and your physician. If you are considering taking birth control pills, it is
important to know that they are associated with a high risk of blood clots, weight garn, nausea, mood changes,
depression and breasi tenderness. Serious side effects include strokes, digestive issues and embolism.
Finaily, it is entirely possible to treat acne without going on the pill at all. If you have no underlying health issues ihat
require you to be on bifth control and are considering taking birth control pills only to control your acne, please feelfree to talk with one of the estheticians to get some additional perspective on how we can help you with the use of
topical products and treatments.

lmportant Information about Zinc
These supplements can upset your stomach. To prevent nausea, always take OptiZinc with food.
Zinc is an essential trace element for humans and there is evidence that it is similar to antibiotics in
improving the condition of inflamed acne. The effective dosage is not clear. However, most studies indicate
50-100mg {The OptiZinc tablet that we sell are 30MG). We advise you to not take any more than 100mg
because excessive zinc may lead to deficiencies in other vitamins and minerals. One of the reasons that we
like OptiZinc is that it contains copper and copper is one of the minerals that can be depleted by taking zinc
supplements.
We are also recommending that you discontinue taking the zinc once you are completely clear. We are notrecommending this as a preventative.
lf you would like more information to help you make decisions about the benefits, proper dosage and best
formulation of zinc supplements, we highly recommend doing your own resear.h on the internet.
Instructions for takins figh oil capsules for vour acne
Research and anecdotal evidence suggests that many of us who suffer from chronic inflammatory acne rnaybenefit frcm taking relatively higher doses (1000-1700mg) of purified omega- 3 oils present rnostly in wild
ocean fish such as salmon, mackerel, cod and herring.
Omega-3 oils are anti-inflammatory and the body utilizes them in many ways. Of particular relevance toacne sufferers. they may help regulate hormones and in addition help to shorten the intensity of your
breakout. Please note: that although there is no known toxicity associated with using fish oils over long
term, you should check with your physician particularly if you have a chronic underlying illness or are
pregna nt.
We have chosen a high quality fish oil supplement to help with your acne. Our fish oil capsules are of
therapeutic quality and are enteric coated to help assimilate the omega-3's in the most efficient way
possible. In addition they are formulated not to have a fishy after taste and are guaranteed burp free.
Pf ease take 1 capsule/2 capsules with the lightest meal of the day.
