Acne-Prone
L'ATHENE offers a complete natural skincare regimen... to help calm skin, clean and reduce oil without stimulating inflammation.
Acne-prone skin is a medical condition characterized by excessive and non-resolving breakouts affecting teens and adults. The goal for acne-prone skin is to keep the skin clean and free of contaminates as much as possible and to treat problem areas promptly.
Keep Skin Clean and Clear... and Avoid Skin Irritants
For oil-prone skin, CITRUS FOAM Exfoliating Cleanser is an ideal choice as a non-detergent astringent cleanser that leaves the skin clean and refreshed without stripping the skin. When the acid mantle skin is stripped with standard harsh detergents in cleansers, it can cause potential oil rebound. Also, almost all skincare, including medical skincare brands, contain harsh alcohols, petroleum-derivatives, detergents, and many other potential skin irritating ingredients, that can cause further redness, inflammation or discomfort. This also includes many products that claim they are good for acne-prone skin. Become a label reader. Read more about the ingredients in L'ATHENE products.
Treat Breakouts Promptly
Breakouts need proper attention. Whether you are treating breakouts with a medicated cream from the dermatologist or using CLARIFIQUE Purifying Clay Mask, it is important to treat the breakouts as soon as you feel them coming on. Do not pick, poke, squeeze or push on any breakouts. This can lead to scarring that can be very difficult to treat later.
