trying to clear acne blemishes - Skin Revision Brisbane

Skin Care Products guaranteed to cause breakouts.

Most cosmetics have ingredients in their bases that cause acne and make it worse.

  • isopropyl myristate
  • isopropyl palmitate
  • C13-14 Isoparaffin

    • Natural Oils that that cause breakouts

  • Almond oil
  • Rosehip oil
  • Apricot Oil

    • All of these natural oils are high in oleic acid which is an Omega 9 essential fatty acid. Omega 9 essential fatty acids are great for the inside of your body but not for your skin if you are prone to acne.

    The facts behind oleic acid producing acne.

    Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid that is normally found with sebum in the sebaceous glands; this creates a liquid quality to the sebum and allows it to flow out onto and sooth the skin.

    In the absence of linoleic acid in the sebaceous glands it is replaced with oleic acid. The combination of oleic acid and sebum is less viscous and promotes formation of plugs: blackheads and whiteheads and increases susceptibility to acne infection.

    Adding oleic acid to your skin in the form of skin care products may not be a wise idea.

    Linoleic acid

    Linoleic acid is found in flax seed, evening primrose oil, fish oil, safflower oil, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, sesame seeds, avocados and wheat germ oil. Modern foods lack these essential oils. Instead they contain trans-fatty acids that may break down the body’s supply of essential fatty acids.

    Dietary tip to avoiding acne.

    People with very dry skin and continual follicle blockage that lead to blackheads, whiteheads and acne - may benefit from increasing their consumption of foods rich in linoleic acid or taking supplements such as flax seed oil.
