I was that acne client – the one who did everything right. I used the right products, followed my regimen without ever skipping a morning or night and had regular treatments and facials. No matter what I did, I had no success clearing up my adult acne. I even took it a step further and kept my hair off my face, changed pillowcases every night, and used a clean washcloth at every cleanse. Every single aesthetician reading this has experienced this client. However, aestheticians are taught to treat skin topically, not look inside the body. Over the years, I’ve learned that certain foods are inflammatory and can trigger an inflammatory response in the body that presents itself on skin. It is important to look at inflammatory foods and how to help clients look inside their body to help their skin.
