It’s a common question we all ask ourselves, ‘why oh why am I breaking out?’

  

While we all wish that healthy, glowing skin was as simple as ordering our morning latte, post-pill acne requires a tailored, but targeted, pared back approach.  

 

So what is Post-Pill Acne?  It’s good old fashion hormonal acne with a twist. The synthetic hormones contained in birth control effect your entire sex hormone system. The changes to this system when coming off contraception can commonly lead to a disruption in the gut. When the gut isn’t happy, guess what? We just don’t glo, our skin can be left irritated and inflamed. Increased levels of testosterone can lead to a surge in oil production resulting in more blackheads, pesky pustules and painful to touch deep cystic acne. Our beloved zinc levels can also drop during this time affecting the skins ability to heal, a good quality zinc supplement is one of the first things our therapists will recommend when coming off the Pill.

 

 

The Beauty Chef has perfected a powerful mix of Zinc, B5 and Echinacea in Clarify. These three hero ingredients work cohesively in the belly to begin healing, soothing and repairing. When the gut is given this remedy on a consistent basis your skin starts showing up as the healthy, clear and glowing gal we know her to be.  Next and just as importantly we call upon our trustworthy and consistent Ultimate Omega. Ask any health conscious being; a quality daily dose of omega hits differently. A high-quality fish oil packed with all those juicy essential fatty acids promotes the strengthening of your skin's immunity and ability to heal. EFAs will also correct your oil flow from a thickened and cloudy consistency to a transparent, water like one (thanks omega, we owe you!)

 

 

Even the most Glo-ing skin can fall victim to Post-Pill Acne. Our Problem Skin Peel and LED treatments tackle the external part of this equation. They work wonders in minimising an overflow of oil production, inflammation, swelling, and redness resulting in healthy and balanced skin. Our team of Skin Therapists will provide a results-driven, personalised treatment plan suited to your needs and goals.
