Brooke and Jason were studying the lymphatic system today and I was having a listen in. It is such a cool system. It is a major detox system of your body and plays a big part in keeping hormones balanced, keeping you healthy and fighting off infection. This interesting point came up. When we exercise and start getting breakouts we link it with sweating a lot. But the acne can be linked to the hormones that are stored in fat which are released into our bloodstream when we lose the fat. From the bloodstream the hormones are leaked into the body and into the lymphatic system and into our skin cells. So this can be the leading cause to your acne. It is temporary until you body stops losing weight. We can definately help balance the amount of hormones flooding your skin cells and help with the healing reducing scarring whilst you are on your weight loss journey.

The truth behind skincare. Marketing hype is on overdrive in our industry unfortunately. Walking through coles on my shopping trip today i came across some masks and thought i would do a product breakdown and show you that a lot of products do not live up to their claims.  Do you know what is in your products? Do you know if they are working how you need them to? Are they just giving surface hydration? Does your skin feel soft on the surface, but still a tight feeling underneath? Do you know that they aren't contributing to your breakouts?  To read the full blog visit our link in bio or visit our website. What I am looking at today is: Nutrogena youthful boost  100% hydrogel mask Claim: This unique hydrogel mask contains 2 types of hyaluronic acid, which helps to improve the smoothness and elasticity of the skin. The formula also contains adenosine which helps to reduce the signs of ageing.  Truth: -The 2 types of hyaluronic acid are 14 and 19 out of 21 ingredients. (In australia it is the law that ingredients are listed in the highest amount to the least amount)  -All main ingredients are after fragrance. (Due to the high irritation factor of fragrance this is normally in minimal qualities, therefore anything after it must be in very minimal amounts as well) In conclusion This isn't a bad product, it isn't going to cause breakouts, the chance of an allergic reaction in normal skin is very minimal. But..... the ingredients don't lie, it isn't going to make changes in your skin. The amount of the active products are too small of an amount to give long lasting results. Instead this mask will give a surface hydration feeling, an instant feeling of hydration that will disappear quickly. Book in for a consultation to find out. We go through all your product ingredients in our consultations and get you on the road to great skin.  #shineskinandbody#skinclinicmelbourne #acnetreatment #acnetreatmentmelbourne #skinclinicrichmond #beautysalonrichmond #beautysalonmelbourne #skinspecialists #blackheads #acne #facialrichmond #facial #beautysalonrichmond #blackheadremoval #skin #skinsolutions #clearacne #facial #acnefacial #personalisedskincare #skincare
