Under normal circumstances, the oils produced by the body reach the outer surface helping to lubricate the skin and thereby providing a barrier against environmental factors such as extreme weather. However, if any form of imbalance is experienced in the body due to puberty or monthly cycles, the excess oil causes dead skin cells to clog up the oil releasing follicle, limiting the amount of available oxygen: under these coditions, the bacterium thrive leading to acne.
Managing the excess oil on the skin surface is a careful balancing act - extreme measures can result in an unsatisfactory outcome with the condition deteriorating further as the body reacts. Engaging a professional Dermalogica-qualified therapist is an important first step in understanding the problem followed by a targeted approach which will ensure the use of appropriate products and treatments.
To determine which Dermalogica products will suit your condition, we would advise that you consult your Dermalogica skin therapist for a full home care regimen.
