While no one has perfect skin per se, you can achieve skin perfection with the right products. Eminence Garlic and Tomato Masque is designed to treat problematic skin that's oily, acne-prone, and blemished. By treating acne at the source, it balances oil production and keeps your pores clear.

When you mix oil and bacteria in a clogged pore, you have the recipe for acne but the good news is by targeting each of the elements that contribute to pimples you can prevent them and enjoy a clearer complexion.

Clogged pores,oil and bacteria are the three main causes of acne. Each person who has acne is unique and should not be treated the same. 3 people with acne could come to Le Reve for a Deep Clarifying facial and all 3 could have completely different products used and receive a completely different approach and recommendations to treat their acne.

A type of acne called P.acnes bacteria feeds off the oil in the clogged pore and attracts white blood cells to the area. Your body then responds with inflammation that causes the redness, swelling and pain associated with pimples. Let's discuss the different kinds of breakouts.

Most of you are familiar with blackheads and whiteheads . these are most common in the T-zone.

Pustule, is a lesion that contains a mixture of white blood cells,dead skin cells, and bacteria-otherwise known as pus.

Papules,are another type of blemish, but unlike clogged pores, these solid raised bumps are not squeezable. these are most common on the cheeks or jawline.

Nodule, is a solid lesion like a papule but is also characterized by inflammation. The lesion is usually deep and extends in to deeper layers of the skin and may cause pain and scarring.

Cysts, occur deep in the skin and contain pus. These lesions are larger than pustules, are usually severely inflamed, may be very painful and can result in scarring.

Now that we have defined the different types of blemishes check back in and I will go over treatments and prevention. Schedule your Deep Clarifying facial today and be on your way to clearer skin. see you at the Spa, Shannon
