Pimples. We all get them at some time in our lives. Most will suffer from pimples in adolescence, when our skin cells rapidly shed causing blockages in our pores. But many will also get pimples in adulthood, particularly during hormonal times like pregnancy and menopause.
When we get pimples, it’s easy to make the mistake of thinking our skin is too ‘oily’ and needs to be dried out with a chemical pimples treatment. This is not the case, and in fact, drying out our skin in an effort to get rid of pimples can actually make the problem worse.
Pimples treatment
Pimples treatments containing chemicals, like peroxide, or excessive exfoliation can damage something called the ‘epidermal barrier’. The epidermal barrier is a layer of special skin cells that are designed to protect our skin from allergens, pollutants and UV rays.
Damaging this barrier means our skin is exposed to more irritants and pollutants, and also causes more oil to be produced as the skin tries in vain to protect and heal itself.
Laser By Sia’s range of skin care, Chiral Actives, has been designed to get rid of pimples and acne by gently restoring this epidermal barrier without chemicals, so the skin is restored to healthy functioning and oil production is normalised.
