Acne Facials, Acne Skincare & More: An In-Depth Guide to Face Reality

Navigating the realm of acne skincare can pose a challenge. Deciding on the approach, for your skin amidst the myriad of options can be quite daunting. It's not a one size fits all scenario. The innovative Face Reality program, with its blend of expert guidance and personalized skincare regimens like acne facials aims to tackle outbreaks and enhance skin wellness. In this guide we delve into what Face Reality entails, how it operates and what clients can expect throughout each phase of the process.

What Causes Acne?

Understanding the root causes of acne is crucial. Acne crops up when skin pores get clogged with debris while an excess production of oil occurs on the skin. Additionally improper shedding of skin cells leads to their accumulation providing a breeding ground for bacteria, in these pores resulting in formation. The substances emitted by these bacteria further aggravate the skin condition. By grasping why pimples emerge, one can effectively prevent flare ups.

1. Excess Oil Production:

• Sebum Overproduction: The oil glands in hair follicles can produce too much sebum, an oily substance that lubricates the skin and hair. This excess oil can clog pores.

2. Dead Skin Cells:

• Build-up: Some people have pores that don't shed dead skin well. This condition is called "retention hyperkeratosis." Acne-prone skin can hang onto 5 layers a day when healthy pores only keep 1. All that extra dead skin clogs up pores. This congestion lets stuff like whiteheads and blackheads appear. If bacteria eat the gunk too, it causes zits and painful pimples. By understanding this process, people can take steps to help pores deep clean better and prevent blocked skin that leads to breakouts.

3. Bacteria:

• Bacteria Love Blockages: When pores get stuffed, it's the perfect home for zits-causing bacteria. They grow like crazy in the damp blocked tubes.

• Bacteria Wreak Havoc: As the pimple parties multiply, they make toxic trash that damages skin. This unleashes a storm of redness and irritation.

• Serious Trouble: If the bacteria spread isn't stopped, it can spiral into worse inflamed blemishes like cysts. Understanding their part in the process empowers people to fight the root causes.

Understanding these causes can help in managing and treating acne effectively, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a good skincare routine and seeking appropriate treatments, like Face Reality’s acne skincare regimen. 

What is Face Reality Skincare?

Face Reality is a skincare program designed to help people with acne get clear skin by combining expert acne facials, treatments, customized skincare products, and lifestyle modifications. In contrast to numerous traditional methods that frequently include harsh drugs, Face Reality prioritizes a delicate yet efficient method of treating acne from the inside out.

Face Reality provides customized home care alternatives adapted to each individual's specific needs, taking into account varied ages, genders, acne kinds, and skin types, even those with Fitzpatrick 4+. Many acne skincare treatments adopt a "one size fits all" approach. Perhaps most significantly, Face Reality develops a comprehensive skincare regimen based on a person's food and lifestyle choices.

Face Reality Skincare Process

1. Initial Consultation

The journey begins with an initial consultation from a certified acne expert trained in the Face Reality skincare method. Clients will talk about their skincare history, current regimen, and any prior acne facials or treatments they've tried during this session. This thorough assessment prepares the patient for a customized acne treatment plan and aids in determining the underlying causes of acne.

2. Skin Analysis

An in-depth skin analysis will be done by an esthetician to assess skin type, acne severity and possible triggers. This is crucial to create a skincare routine that works for each individual.

3. Customized Acne Treatment Plan

 A personalized acne treatment plan will be given to clients based on the initial consultation and skin analysis. 

• Recommended Products: Clients will receive recommendations for a Face Reality cleanser and additional Face Reality products that address their skin concerns. A complete acne skincare routine usually consists of SPF, treatment mask, moisturizer, toner and serum. Homecare is key to treating your skin concerns and minimizing acne breakouts while improving skin health.

• Professional Treatments:  To improve outcomes, clients are recommended to have professional acne facials with treatments like moisturizing enzyme treatments, chemical peels, high-frequency extractions, LED therapy, and manual lymphatic drainage in addition to at-home care.

4. Regular Follow-ups

In the Face Reality program, consistency is essential. Clients will receive email follow-ups every two weeks to assess progress, make any necessary modifications to the treatment plan, and offer continuous support.

5. Lifestyle Recommendations

Beyond skincare products and treatments, Face Reality also emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes. Clients will receive guidance on diet, hydration, and stress management, as these factors can significantly impact skin health.

My personal struggle with acne started when I transitioned from high school to college. My skin condition and products I was using did not change, but with the help of an acne expert, we were able to pinpoint that my change in diet was the biggest factor contributing to my acne. As I transitioned from home cooked meals to consuming more processed foods in the dining hall, my gut and skin health declined. I was experiencing brain fog, stomach cramping, and acne throughout my cheeks. 

My acne expert provided me with a list of foods that supported my gut and  skin health. We also looked into my lifestyle habits, like fabric softener, vitamins I was taking, and how I could easily tweak my day to day lifestyle to support my clear skin journey.

What Clients Can Expect

1. Clear Skin Journey

Clients should understand that achieving clear skin is a process. Results may vary, and while some individuals may notice improvements within weeks, others may take several months to see significant changes. Patience and commitment are essential.

With persistent at-home care combined with expert acne facial treatments, Face Reality promises noticeable results in as little as ninety days. The Face Reality approach suggests an Acne Bootcamp, which consists of six professional acne facial treatments spaced two weeks apart, for the best outcomes (two acne facials a month for three consecutive months). Monthly acne facials are advised as maintenance after three months.

2. Supportive Environment

One of the standout features of the Face Reality program is the supportive community it fosters, going beyond just acne facials and products. Clients can expect to feel empowered and motivated throughout their journey, with access to an esthetician and community who genuinely care about their progress.

3. Education and Empowerment

Face Reality aims to educate clients about their skin and the factors that affect it. Clients will learn how to make informed decisions about their skincare and overall health so they can maintain their results long term

4. Potential Short-term Acne Breakouts

During the initial phases of the treatment, it’s common for clients to experience “purging.” This temporary increase in breakouts occurs as the skin adjusts to new products and begins to clear out impurities. It’s important to understand that this is a normal part of the process.

5. Customized Results

Since every skin type is different, clients can expect tailored results that cater specifically to their individual needs. This personalized approach ensures that clients receive the most effective care for their unique skin concerns.

Acne Skincare and Face Reality FAQs

Are Facials good for Acne?

In general, people with mild to moderate acne can benefit from regular acne facials performed by an esthetician. Facials help improve skin appearance by addressing existing acne, reducing inflammation, and promoting clearer skin. However, it is important to maintain a good skincare routine between facials to prevent acne from returning.

What is the best acne facial?

The best acne facials are the ones that take into consideration the current state of your skin.  If your skin is red, irritated, dry, or painful, we will start by calming the skin and supporting the barrier and microbiome before using more active products. Many clients with acne are so frustrated that they use harsh products on their skin, in hopes of clearing their skin. If your skin is inflamed and the barrier is not in a healthy state, it cannot heal. 

A hydrating enzyme treatment from Face Reality is the perfect first acne facial, and great if clients will be active or outside immediately after their service. It contains a blend of hydrating ingredients that promotes skin barrier health, while gently exfoliating the skin. 

Mooi’s acne peels contain specialty ingredients that address discoloration, inflammation, active acne, and fine lines. Our hydrating enzyme treatment and our acne facial lactic peel are safe to use while pregnant and breastfeeding. 

Does Face Reality address chest acne, back acne, etc - other areas than facial?

Yes! Acne facials can be done on the back or chest. Mooi also sells acne body washes and scrubs that are specifically designed to help clear body acne. 

Do I need a consultation before my first Face Reality Acne facial?

Yes- this is imperative to review your health history, goals, expectations, and treatment plan. A consultation and your first acne facial may be scheduled together at your first appointment.

Does Face Reality offer the best facial for acne scars?

A Face Reality facial is a great facial for breakouts and also unwanted acne scarring and discoloration. The acne facials as well as Face Reality’s homecare are designed to increase cell turnover, which will help to diminish the appearance of acne scars.

 How old do I have to be to have an Acne Facial?

If you are 18 or younger, you must have a parent or guardian sign a consent form, and accompany you during your appointment.

Are acne facials only for teenagers? I’m an adult struggling with acne.

Acne facials are designed for any age! Acne is the most common skin condition in the United States. Any given year, 50 million Americans across all ages experience acne. Adults who never had acne as a teen may find they are struggling with their skin into adulthood. Face reality has many benefits for aging skin as well. It accelerates cell renewal making skin appear lighter, brighter, firmer, and smoother. At the same time, they promote collagen production to increase skin’s elasticity and youthful appearance.

Are acne facials and Face Reality safe for pregnant clients, or moms who are breastfeeding?

Yes! Your acne facials and treatment plan will be adjusted to omit salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide and retinoids. Face Reality’s hydrating enzyme treatment & lactic peel are safe to use while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Mandelic acid is a cornerstone ingredient in Face Reality’s protocol. It is a natural, non-toxic alpha-hydroxy acid derived from almonds. It’s unique among AHAs because of its larger molecular structure, which slows its absorption rate, making it the most-gentle of all the acids. The slow absorption rate means it won’t trigger an inflammatory pigment response even in darker skin tones prone to hyperpigmentation. That’s super important during pregnancy when hormones are already acting as a trigger for pigment issues like melasma.

 Many pregnant women experience melasma, or what’s also called the mask of pregnancy. These patches of excess pigment that appear mainly on the cheeks, forehead, and chin are a result of an overload of estrogen hormones stimulating melanin production. 

Mandelic acid is a natural brightener. It inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production to prevent pigment formation. It also helps to fade existing pigment by increasing cell turnover to disperse excess pigment from the skin’s surface.

 What makeup do you recommend for acne prone skin?

Mooi recommends and carries the Ere Perez skincare line in the studio. It is based on science and the power of plants and botanicals that promotes ethical and healthy beauty. The formulations feature unique superfood ingredients selected for their performance and skin-revitalizing properties.

We also have an acne ingredient checker that screens any product in your beauty regimen for pore-clogging ingredients. Simply copy and paste the ingredients from your product into the checker.

It is important to check anything that comes into contact with your skin: body lotion, laundry detergent, lip balms, makeup, tissues and toothpaste should be checked to make sure it is not clogging your pores.

If I want to try some of the products before investing in acne facials and/or the Face Reality Bootcamp, what would you recommend and why?

1)   Sulfur Spot Treatment: gentle yet potent combination of 6% sulfur and an innovative peptide that provides an instant fix for red and inflamed acne lesions. It helps to calm redness, inflammation, and is soothing to the skin. Everyone should have this in their skin care tool kit!

2)   Ultra Gentle Gel Cleanser: This antioxidant cleanser is safe for all skin types, including skin that is prone to blemishes, breakouts, and pimples. This is a perfect cleanser to wash away the day (including makeup) and nourish the skin. It is fragrance free, and cleanses without drying or stripping the skin's natural barrier.

3)   Ultimate Protection SPF 28: Sunscreen is a common product that may cause breakouts, but that shouldn’t be a reason not to protect your skin.  Sun exposure can cause inflammation and damage the skin, which can exacerbate acne.  It can damage the pore and cause discoloration. This physical zinc sunscreen protects against UVA & UVB rays, all while providing a mattifying finish. Appropriate for everyone, especially sensitive skin.

4)  Hydracalm Mask: You may think many people with acne have excess oil, but that is far from the truth. Here in Colorado, many people’s skin is very dry while they are struggling with breakouts and acne. This intensely hydrating mask is infused with ultra-soothing ingredients that contain moisturizing and calming properties, while not clogging your skin's pores. This gentle formula is hydrating and leaves the skin feeling revitalized. It is appropriate for all skin types, especially dry and dehydrated.

Face Reality before and after photos

I recently treated a college student struggling with dryness and acne. This client completed the Acne Bootcamp (acne facials every two weeks for 3 months) while she was home on summer break. She followed the home care exactly, communicated with me when she had questions or concerns, and felt prepared to care for her skin with her busy school schedule. We have built a plan to ship the Face Reality products directly to her while she is at school. Take a look at her Face Reality before and after photos throughout the progression of her treatments.

Unlock the secret to radiant, youthful skin with the power of red light therapy! If you're tired of spending a fortune on expensive skincare products that promise miraculous results but fail to deliver, then it's time to discover the incredible benefits of red light therapy for your face. This revolutionary treatment is taking the beauty world by storm, and for good reason. Whether you're struggling with acne, wrinkles, or dullness, red light therapy can help rejuvenate your skin from within. Say goodbye to costly treatments and hello to a natural glow. If you are searching for “red light therapy near me”...look no further. We have what you need!

What is Light Therapy?

First things first…what is light therapy? Light therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses different wavelengths of light to target specific skin concerns and promote overall well-being. There are several types of light therapies available, each with its own unique benefits.

One popular type of light therapy is red light therapy. This form of phototherapy uses red LED lights to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. It has been found to stimulate collagen production, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin health.

Another type of light therapy is blue light therapy. This treatment utilizes blue LED lights to kill acne-causing bacteria on the surface of the skin. It can be an effective solution for those struggling with acne breakouts.

In addition to red and blue light therapies, there are also green and yellow light therapies available. Green light therapy targets hyperpigmentation and helps even out skin tone, while yellow light therapy can help reduce redness and inflammation in the skin.

Each type of light therapy offers unique benefits for different skin concerns. Whether you're looking to improve your complexion or alleviate certain conditions like acne or rosacea, there's likely a type of light therapy that can help.

Incorporating different types of light therapies into your skincare routine can provide noticeable improvements in your complexion and overall well-being., but it's important to note that while these treatments can be beneficial for many individuals, they may not be suitable for everyone. It's always best to consult with a skincare professional before starting any new treatment regimen. Mooi’s experts can help recommend the right treatment for you!

Red Light Therapies for the Face

When it comes to skincare, we're always on the lookout for the next big thing. And one treatment that has been gaining popularity in recent years is red light therapy for the face. This non-invasive procedure uses low-level red light wavelengths to target various skin concerns and promote overall skin health.

One of the key benefits of red light therapy for the face is its ability to stimulate collagen production. Collagen, a protein that gives our skin its elasticity, tends to decrease as we age, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. By exposing your face to red light wavelengths, you can encourage collagen production and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Not only does red light therapy help with anti-aging concerns, but it also has been found to reduce inflammation and acne. The soothing properties of red light can calm irritated skin and minimize breakouts by targeting bacteria that cause acne.

Furthermore, this type of therapy can even out your complexion by reducing hyperpigmentation and sunspots. Red light stimulates cellular activity in the deeper layers of your skin, promoting regeneration and helping fade dark spots over time.

The best part about red light therapies for the face is that they are generally painless and require no downtime. You can easily incorporate this treatment into your skincare routine without disrupting your daily activities.

While there are professional clinics offering red light therapy sessions, including Mooi Studio, many at-home devices are available as well if you prefer convenience or have a busy schedule. A LightStim ProPanel device can also be purchased at Mooi for take home.

If you're looking for an effective way to rejuvenate your facial skin without invasive procedures or harsh chemicals – look no further than red-light therapies! They offer a natural approach with promising results when used consistently over time

Benefits of Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, has gained popularity in recent years for its numerous benefits for the skin and overall well-being. This non-invasive treatment uses low-level red light wavelengths to stimulate cellular function and promote healing.

As we have explained, the most popular benefits of red light therapy is its ability to improve skin health. It can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, boost collagen production, and improve overall skin tone and texture. Many people have reported a more youthful complexion after regular sessions. It has also shown promise in treating acne by killing bacteria that cause breakouts while reducing oil production on the skin's surface. It can also help fade scars from previous blemishes.

In addition to its cosmetic benefits, red light therapy has been found to aid in pain relief. It can help reduce inflammation and joint stiffness associated with conditions like arthritis. Athletes often use it to speed up muscle recovery after intense workouts or injuries.

Another advantage of red light therapy is its positive impact on mood and mental health. The gentle warmth emitted by the lights can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and enhance sleep quality. Some studies have even suggested that it may be beneficial in treating certain mental health disorders such as depression.

It's worth noting that one of the most appealing aspects of this treatment is that it's non-invasive and doesn't involve any downtime or discomfort. Whether you visit a professional spa or invest in an at-home device like LightStim technology (more about this later!), incorporating regular sessions into your skincare routine can yield significant results over time.

There are many potential benefits associated with red light therapy—ranging from improved skin health and pain relief to enhanced mood and mental well-being.

Who Should Use Red Light Therapy?

Who should use red light therapy? Well, the answer is that it can be beneficial for a wide range of people. Whether you're dealing with skin issues or looking to improve your overall well-being, red light therapy might just be what you need.

First and foremost, individuals who are struggling with various skin conditions like acne, eczema, or psoriasis can benefit from red light therapy. The wavelengths emitted by the red light penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate collagen production. This helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing, leading to clearer and healthier-looking skin.

Athletes and fitness enthusiasts can also find value in incorporating red light therapy into their routines. It has been shown to aid in muscle recovery by reducing inflammation and promoting blood circulation. Additionally, it may help alleviate joint pain caused by conditions like arthritis.

Those looking for anti-aging solutions will be pleased to know that red light therapy can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The increased collagen production stimulated by red light helps plump up the skin, resulting in a more youthful complexion.

Moreover, individuals experiencing mood disorders such as depression or seasonal affective disorder (SAD) may find relief through regular sessions of red light therapy. The exposure to bright lights has been shown to increase serotonin levels in the brain, improving mood and overall well-being.

It's important to note that while most people can safely use red light therapy at home or at specialized clinics, there are some exceptions. Pregnant women should consult with their healthcare provider before starting any new treatments or therapies. Similarly, individuals taking medications that cause photosensitivity should exercise caution when using red light devices.

In conclusion - whether you're seeking clearer skin, faster muscle recovery after workouts or simply want a boost in your mood – give red-light therapy a try! Just make sure to do your research beforehand on how best to incorporate this treatment into your routine for maximum benefits

LightStim Technology - How does LightStim Work?

When it comes to red light therapy, one name that often stands out is LightStim. But what exactly is LightStim and how does it work? Let's dive in!

At its core, LightStim is a leading brand that offers professional-grade light therapy devices for home use. Their devices utilize LED lights to emit specific wavelengths of red and infrared light onto the skin. These wavelengths are known to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin, stimulating cellular activity.

But how does this stimulation benefit our skin? Well, when the cells receive this targeted light energy, they produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which essentially fuels their activities. This increased production helps promote collagen synthesis and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture and firmness.

Furthermore, LightStim technology also helps increase blood circulation in the treated area. This enhanced circulation brings vital nutrients and oxygen to the cells while removing waste products more efficiently.

The amazing thing about LightStim is that it has been clinically proven! Numerous studies have shown its effectiveness in reducing wrinkles, fine lines, and even acne scars. It can also help alleviate joint pain and inflammation.

Thanks to its user-friendly design and FDA clearance as an over-the-counter device for skincare concerns like wrinkles or acne treatment at home! So you can enjoy all these benefits from the comfort of your own home!

LightStim vs. Other Light Therapy Products

Unlike other light therapy products that promise quick fixes but fail to deliver, LightStim stands out with its scientifically proven approach. It utilizes LED lights to penetrate deep into the skin and stimulate cellular activity, promoting collagen production and reducing wrinkles.

What sets LightStim apart from other products is its FDA clearance for treating specific conditions such as wrinkles, acne scars, and even pain relief. This certification ensures that you're investing in a safe and reliable product backed by extensive research.

Moreover, unlike many other light therapy devices on the market that require frequent bulb replacements or have limited treatment areas, LightStim offers longevity and versatility. Its LEDs last up to 50,000 hours of use without needing replacement bulbs or parts.

Another advantage of choosing LightStim over other brands is its user-friendly design. With an easy-to-use interface and customizable settings tailored for different skin types or concerns, you can personalize your treatment experience according to your needs.

While there may be cheaper alternatives available on the market claiming similar benefits as LightStim, it's important to prioritize quality over price when it comes to your skincare routine. By investing in a trusted brand like LightStim,you can ensure optimal results without compromising safety or effectiveness.

Can LightStim be used with other treatments?

Can LightStim be used with other treatments? Absolutely! One of the great things about LightStim technology is that it can easily complement other skincare treatments for even better results. Whether you're using chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or facial masks, incorporating red light therapy into your routine can enhance and maximize the benefits.

Many skin care professionals recommend combining red light therapy with other anti-aging treatments like Botox or dermal fillers. The red light helps to stimulate collagen production, which can improve the overall effectiveness and longevity of these injectable treatments.

For those struggling with acne, combining red light therapy with topical acne medications or professional acne facials can provide a powerful combination to combat breakouts. The antibacterial properties of red light help kill off acne-causing bacteria while reducing inflammation and promoting healing.

If you're receiving laser resurfacing or IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments, incorporating red light therapy afterward can help soothe and calm the skin, minimize any potential side effects such as redness or swelling, and aid in faster healing.

Remember, consistency is key when it comes to achieving optimal outcomes from any skincare regimen. Be patient but consistent in following both the treatment guidelines provided by your skincare professional as well as any instructions provided by LightStim for best results.

So go ahead and explore how adding LightStim technology alongside other proven skin care therapies can elevate your beauty game!

Before & After Tips for LightStim Technology

In this article, we have explored the amazing benefits of red light therapy, particularly for the face. Red light therapy has gained popularity in recent years due to its ability to rejuvenate and improve the skin's appearance. Whether you're dealing with wrinkles, acne scars, or dullness, red light therapy can be a game-changer.

One of the most trusted brands in red light therapy is LightStim. Their advanced technology harnesses the power of LED lights to stimulate collagen production and increase blood circulation. The result? A healthier and more youthful complexion.

But before you embark on your red light therapy journey with LightStim or any other device, it's important to keep a few things in mind:

1. Consistency is key: Red light therapy is not a one-time fix. To see substantial results, it's essential to use the device regularly as recommended by the manufacturer.

2. Cleanse your skin: Before using any red light therapy device, make sure your skin is clean and free from makeup or skincare products that may interfere with absorption.

3. Protect your eyes: Although red light therapy devices are generally safe for the eyes when used correctly, it's still advisable to wear protective goggles during treatment as an extra precautionary measure.

4. Take before-and-after photos: Documenting your progress through photographs allows you to track changes in your skin over time objectively.

5. Be patient: Results may not appear overnight; it takes time for new collagen formation and cellular regeneration to become visible on the surface of your skin.

Now that you have all these tips at hand, you can receive your first LightStim ProPanel treatment for FREE, with any facial or sugaring service at Mooi Studio.
