Acne-not just a concern for adolescents!

Did you know it's estimated that acne affects 25% of men and 50% of women during their adult years? I am sure most of us went through our adolescent years with minor to severe acne but we all thought as we entered into our 20's and 30's it would eventually clear up, leaving us with the beautiful skin we all see in magazines and on TV. For many of you, it just didn't quite happen that way.

Here at Herbana, one of our biggest complaints we hear when we ask clients, "What is the one thing you would like to improve about your skin" is their acne. We see it in teens who are tired of being given such harsh products from the dermatologist, as well as many adults who feel they have tried just about everything to no avail. We listen to what each client is telling us and then are able to create a treatment plan as well as an at home skin care regime to use in between treatments, all customized to their specific needs.

Acne is a tough skin issue to tackle but with the right line of defense it is possible to see vast improvements in your skin whether your 16 or 40! Its important to know the causes behind your acne, as there are many reasons your skin could be deciding to act up. Based on what our highly trained estheticians find by talking to you, asking questions, and evaluating your skin, different products can be recommended so that you can begin to feel like yourself again!

We are always adding new products from our two top rated skin care lines and this past week we added a new fabulous all in one treatment kit just for those of you who suffer from acne! It is the Anti-Blemish Kit from Eminence Organics and it comes with all the products you need to knock out troublesome acne! It includes a full months supply of products saving you from the large expense of buying all the full sized products individually and gives your skin the amount of time it needs to start seeing amazing results! The serum is full sized and should last 4-6 months. Serums and masks are considered "treatment" products and are your most potent products to give you the best results. The anti-Blemish kit retails for only $62- the full size serum that comes in it retails for $43 so its a HUGE savings and also great for traveling!

The kit includes:

Mineral Cleansing Concentrate- a fabulous deep cleansing gel wash for daily use that is good for oily, acne, problematic, and sensitive skin. It contains a natural ingredient called ichitol that helps calm skin, and lavender oil to help kick start the healing process.

Pear and Poppy Seed Microderm Polisher- A gentle exfoliant made from poppy seeds and fine pieces of walnut. Uses pear and apple pulp to boost your skin with bioflavonoids and lots of antioxidants. Use once-twice a week to keep skin fresh and new!

Hungarian Herbal Mud Treatment- A spicy mask with a yummy hint of cinnamon to help clarify and detoxify all skin types. It will open pores and allow for detoxification by eliminating toxins, and increasing circulation. Includes cinnamon for anti-bacterial properties, ivy for high doses of vitamin C, sage helps to heal the skin, and natural paprika stimulates and provides antioxidants. Apply in the shower once-twice a week and let the steam open your pores to better take in the product.

Tomato Oil Control-A wonderful daily moisturizer in the form of a gel just for oily/acne skin types! One of the lightest moisturizers they make so you don't feel like your wearing a heavy cream. The odorless garlic is a great way to fight off acne with its anti-bacterial properties, and tomatoes are vitamin rich! Also includes hawthorn berries with help to calm inflammation seen with acne.

and...

a FULL Size Herbal Spot Serum (retails for $43 by itself!)- a daily serum to be used as your last step before moisturizing each day. Reduces swelling and redness associated with acne and includes active herbs like horsetail and fennel. Can be used a single spot treatment for breakouts, or all over the face and neck.
