Treating the root cause of skin issues

Treating the root cause of skin issues, such as acne, is indeed crucial for long-term and effective solutions. Simply relying on treatments like birth control pills, antibiotics, or prescription vitamin A may provide temporary relief by managing symptoms, but they often do not address the underlying causes.

Treating the root cause involves identifying and addressing these factors:

1. Diet: What we eat can significantly impact our skin. Diets high in sugary and processed foods can lead to inflammation and increased sebum production. Adopting a balanced and healthy diet can be a fundamental step in addressing the root cause of acne. Incorporating EFA’s and OPTY. NC collagen powder are some of our favourite ways to build a good support system for your skin.

2. Hormones: Hormonal imbalances, can trigger acne. It’s essential to consider hormonal factors and potentially work with healthcare professionals/ Naturopaths to regulate hormones. There are many Hormone supporting supplements that we can recommend to our clients.

3. Hydration: Dehydrated skin can lead to various skin issues, including acne. Ensuring proper hydration and skincare routines can be a holistic approach to maintain skin health. We thoroughly go through this with each client when consulting.

4. Gut-health: Gut health directly impacts skin, especially in acne. An imbalanced gut microbiome can trigger inflammation, worsening skin conditions. Maintaining gut balance through diet and probiotics is crucial for clear and healthy skin. We love incorporating ‘Dermal Clarify’ probiotic drops into our clients routine to support gut health.

Treating the root cause means looking beyond surface-level symptoms and addressing the internal and external factors that contribute to skin issues. While prescription medications may be necessary in some cases, it’s essential to complement them with holistic approaches. This approach not only provides more effective and sustainable results but also promotes overall skin health and well-being.
