A Holistic Approach to Acne using Dr. Hauschka products is the fourth and final post in a series of posts on acne that I have written as an introduction to my new program “The Beautiful Skin Solution for Acne”. These posts have given a comprehensive look at understanding acne and I am ending by giving a holistic protocol for blemished skin conditions.
A safe and successful treatment plan for anyone with an acneic skin includes skin care treatments, modifications of diet and lifestyle, and topical preparations to help correct imbalances in the skin. Today, I am going to talk about the Dr. Hauschka products that can help transform your skin. Clearly, acne is a multi-faceted condition that deserves a multi-faceted treatment. A customized, holistic approach supports safe, long-term healing of troubled skin.
The use of Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream in the morning and evening accomplishes several important tasks. Almond meal provides a gentle, daily exfoliation to keep dead skin cells out of the pores while retaining the natural balance of the skin’s hydrolipid mantle (protective layer of oil). Cleansing Cream assists the skin’s own cleansing process and reduces blackhead formation. In the realm of cleansers, this product is unusual in that it contains no soap or detergent. It is important to avoid stripping surface oil in cases of active or blemished skin, as this has a stimulating effect on the sebaceous glands.
In the morning, follow Cleansing Cream with Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner. The therapeutic plant ingredients in Clarifying Toner support the healing of blemishes and regulate the production of oil. Daily use tones the pores and prevents congestion.
After toning, apply Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Day Oil. a light, protective composition that calms the sebaceous glands and improves the elasticity of pores. It may seem odd to treat blemished skin with more oil, but Clarifying Day Oil works on the homeopathic principal “like cures like”. Overproduction of sebum is moderated with regular use of this luxurious blend of oily plant extracts.
Dr. Hauschka Translucent Bronzing Tint is a unique product with both curative and decorative indications. This lightweight preparation containing natural mineral pigments can be blended with Clarifying Day Oil and applied to neutralize redness and to nourish and calm the skin.
Dr. Hauschka Renewing Night Conditioner is an oil-free night care preparation that harmonizes the many functions of the skin over a month-long period. It normalizes the activity of the sebaceous glands and encourages healthy skin regeneration. it is especially helpful during the first month of using Dr. Hauschka Skin Care products or to aid the skin in times of transition, including puberty.
Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Clay Mask and Clarifying Steam Bath join forces to offer a weekly deep cleaning that is particularly beneficial to oily or congested skin. Clarifying Steam Bath is a highly concentrated blend of plant extracts, which activates circulation and elimination. Add Clarifying Steam Bath to a bowl of steaming water and let the healing vapors disinfect and loosen congestion in pores. Follow with Clarifying Clay Mask to pull impurities out of hiding and absorb excess oil.
Dr. Hauschka Revitalizing Mask is a blissful balm for inflamed skin. Weekly treatments clarify and refine pores, calm irritated skin and help to soften scar tissue. Revitalizing Mask may be used 2-3 times a week to treat serious acne or scarring.
In addition to a regimen that supports the skin’s healthy functioning, be good to yourself. Though pimple proportions can range from tiny to titanic, it is important to let the process play itself out without squeezing, picking or probing the pesky spots. Tempting as it may be, attempting surgery in front of the bathroom mirror often makes matters worse and can result in scarring. Be compassionate when you look in the mirror.
Make sure you are getting adequate rest, balancing work and play and drinking enough water. Fresh air and exercise work wonders for both skin and spirit. A diet of whole foods gives the digestive processes a nourishing rest and assists the healing of troubled skin. Emphasize vegetables, lean protein and whole grains and minimize foods high in fat and sugar. Eliminate junk foods. Most importantly, be patient and persistent in your treatment, and take comfort in the remarkable self-healing abilities of the human body.
