Acne – What you can do about it

A Gentle, Harsh-Chemical-Free Approach to Calming Acne and Clogged Pores

What Causes Acne?

Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes) is a tiny bacterium that thrives in the sebum-rich region of your skin’s pores. When dead skin cells, oxidized oil, and makeup residue trap bacteria inside a follicle, it triggers an inflammatory immune response that leads to redness and swelling. That swelling can manifest as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, and blemishes.

What You Can Do About It

Modern dermatological observation shows that the body responds to pore-clogging irritants and bacteria with localized inflammation, redness, and swelling.

“There is in fact only one Disease, the symptom is always too much inflammation.”
Steven Gundry, MD

When you calm skin inflammation, keep your makeup applicators bacteria-free (see our step-by-step guide on how to wash makeup brushes to prevent acne breakouts), and support healthy skin barrier turnover without harsh squeezing, you address breakouts at their root.

3 Complementary Solutions That Work Better Together

• Soothing Botanical Oils (Rice Bran Oil)
• 5-in-1 EMS Electroporation RF & LED Skin Rejuvenation Handset
• Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric Overnight Face Mask & Clean Synthetic Makeup Brushes

1. Rice Bran Oil & Anti-Inflammatory Nutrition

Lightweight, antioxidant-rich Rice Bran Oil helps support the skin barrier without stripping natural moisture. Adding culinary inflammation fighters such as turmeric (curcumin) and fresh ginger to your meals also supports calmer skin from the inside out.

2. 5-in-1 EMS Electroporation RF & LED Skin Rejuvenation Facial Massager

The old way to handle a blemish was to squeeze it with your fingernails, which risks rupturing the follicle wall, spreading bacteria to neighboring pores, and leaving post-inflammatory scarring.

Instead of fingernail trauma, the EMS Electroporation RF Skin Rejuvenation Facial Massager ($69.99) combines gentle multi-wavelength LED light therapy (including blue and red spectrum modes), radiofrequency warming, and microcurrent facial toning to calm visible redness and help non-comedogenic serums absorb evenly into freshly cleansed skin.

How to use it safely:

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
2. Apply a water-based hydrating serum (such as hyaluronic acid or niacinamide) so the stainless-steel contact head glides smoothly.
3. Select the gentle LED + RF mode and glide the handset upward along the cheeks, jawline, and forehead for 5 to 10 minutes, then wipe the contact head clean after each session.

3. Turmeric Overnight Face Mask & Weekly Brush Hygiene

Turmeric contains curcumin, a potent botanical antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound. Using a soothing facial mask formulated with turmeric and shea butter helps calm redness while nourishing the skin barrier.

Wash your face before bed and sleep on a clean pillowcase. If you are fighting recurring breakouts, change your pillowcase every 2 to 3 days and wash your liquid foundation and concealer brushes every 7 days using our 2-minute makeup brush sanitizing routine so old bacteria never reinfect freshly cleansed skin.
