A Little Advice on Hormonal Breakouts!

Hello Spa Lovers & Skin Care Enthusiasts! 

In the past I always struggled with severe hormonal breakouts that have made me feel irritated and uncomfortable with my skin.  When I started working at Le Reve, I learned so much vital information about how to take care of my skin and body... and I would love to share some of the things I have learned about basic skin care, which have really helped me to improve my breakouts.  Here is some helpful information that I have learned along the way in my journey as a Spa Coordinator:

1.  The IMPORTANCE of ORGANIC skin care products!  Le Reve carries two organic skin care lines; Eminence and Jurlique.  All of the products in these two lines are completely natural and good for your skin!  You can feel the difference within your entire body when you put something organic on your skin...you will feel so much healthier and balanced!  Your skin does not need any crazy chemicals, because there is always a natural substitute that can be found in nature!

2.  DON'T GIVE UP if one product does not work on your skin!  Remember to test several different types of products, because every product will react differently on your skin.  Skin types are very unique, and there is no magic solution that will fix every problem on every skin type.  So do not give up if a product does not work at first...simply KEEP TRYING!

3.  The LOCATION of the BREAKOUT will tell you everything!  Hormonal Breakouts are often confused with breakouts derived from stress or diet.  Hormonal breakouts occur on the chin, jaw line, and upper lip.  If you are breaking out on your upper cheeks, that is a result of your diet & breakouts on your forehead are a result of stress.  It is very important to truly understand the root of the breakout, in order to properly treat the acne. 

4.  The ORDER of APPLICATION of your skin care is very important!  Although this may seem like very basic knowledge, I had no idea until I started working here that that the order of application of skin care makes a difference in how effective the products will be.  Here is the order:  Cleanser--> Toner-->Serum-->Moisturizer-->Sunscreen!

I hope that bit of advice helps you to learn and understand our products a little bit more! And if you are experiencing hormonal breakouts specifically, I would highly recommend trying Eminence's Eight Greens Youth Serum.  This serum has been a game changer for my face because it tones and balances the skin while normalizing oil production.  It has made all the difference!!! 

Wishing Everyone Healthy Skin!
