AcnEase in the News

Skin is the largest organ of the body.  It has many important functions, and our bodies are programmed to protect this vital organ.  Unfortunately, sometimes the protection process goes haywire when our sebaceous glands, which produce skin oils (sebum) necessary to keep our skin healthy and supple, start producing the wrong amount of sebum. When not enough oil is produced, our skin begins to age and becomes dry, scaly and itchy. On the other hand, overproduction of sebum results in oily skin and may often lead to acne.

I went off of spironolactone because of all the side effects, and I broke out pretty bad. I ordered this stuff in desperation. I have been taking this for about 11 days at 12x/day and it has healed my acne about 70%. I am still breaking out a little but nothing like it was before. My skin is glowing, the zits aren't red they are more pink, less oily skin, and its only been 11 days. I'll repost after a month!.

As we try to understand the etiology (causes) of acne, hormonal imbalance is cited as one of the most prevailing culprits contributing to this skin problem.

Both, women and men produce all three sex hormones: estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. Of course, depending upon if you are a woman or a man, your glands produce more estrogen or testosterone. If a woman produces too much testosterone (androgens), this physiologic “over-dose” may result in symptoms such as acne, too much facial or body hair (hirsutism), patterned female baldness and sometimes changes in menstruation cycle or infertility.

Soy. You’ll find it on the shelves these days in many processed goods as an added oil (e.g. soy lecithin), or in the form of burgers, hotdogs, and even nuggets. But you’ll also find it in health food stores, and among widely recommended herbal products. Likewise, some say to avoid it, and others consider it part of a healthy diet or even the foundation of a vegan or vegetarian diet.

Any holiday events coming up in the next few weeks or even days? Most of you may remember that my original blog was My Skin Concierge, so I felt it a must to bring you Dr. Agnes's Holiday Guide to Clear Skin!
Dr. Agnes, CEO of Herborium, a Botanical Therapeutics ® company and the makers of AcnEase ®, a 100% botanical acne treatment, launched a 30-Day Countdown to Clear Skin for the Holidays.

With the madness of cleaning, cooking and everything that comes with the holidays, no one really has time to think about their skin. Stress is an obvious factor when it comes to your skin and breakouts. What if you could know the celebrity makeup secrets AND help clear up your acne with at-home remedies (that won’t dry, damage or irritate your skin) just in time for the holidays?

Well now you can, because Marvelous Girl spoke to celebrity makeup artist Todra Payne (who has worked with Mariah Carey and many more) and natural health expert Dr. Agnes Olszewski, Founder of AcnEase, to learn some tips on effective ways to apply make up for blemishes and natural solutions (even some ideas on what kind of fruits and veggies – leftovers) can be used to achieve clear skin!

Cassandra Bankson, the teen whose makeup routine to cover up her acne-plagued skin made her into a YouTube sensation, started the next chapter of her life, landing a spot on the runway during New York Fashion Week.

A confident Bankson walked the runway at the Stacey Igel's "Boy Meets Girl" show in New York City Wednesday night, proudly putting a past of being bullied for her acne-ridden skin behind her.

"I'm a small town girl who sits in her living room and films videos all day and now...I'm in New YorkFashion Week," Bankson said backstage. "It's still a dream. I am so thankful."

The 19-year-old first achieved Internet stardom after posting makeup tutorials on YouTube with her concealing tips, revealing how she covered her acne-ridden skin before heading out to face the world. In the videos, Bankson talks to her 45 million viewers, first in full makeup, but then strips off the layers of foundation, concealer and powder to reveal pimples and blemishes.

I’ve said it before and I’m not embarrassed to say it again… I have hormonal acne issues.  Being a beauty blogger who doesn’t have the slightest idea how to use photoshop, (I’m trying to learn, and it’s seriously like I’m trying to teach my grandpa how to use “the twitter”) I try to keep my face as under control as possible.  With products from Reviva Labs and Murad, it’s been pretty easy.  BUT.  I test A LOT of skin care.  And sometimes different products will just make a break out happen.

As I said, my acne is hormone related.  It’s all along the jaw and chin area.  (Having kids does a lot more to your body than stretching out that gut!).  I’m always in the market to shock my face into submission.  So, when the opportunity to try out AcnEase came about, I jumped on it much like I jump on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.
