Sometimes
life can be so unfair. All summer long, you looked and felt healthy and
great. But now that it's fall, things are starting to go wrong. Your
bronze glow is fading fast. And your skin, which was virtually
pimple-free all summer, has now decided to break out with a vengeance.
Why?
Sun, in small doses, can improve acne conditions... temporarily. When
exposed to sunlight, skin tends to swell and exfoliate and redness will
reduce. In fall, however, acne flares up as the skin begins to shed dry
and dead cells caused by this sun exposure. Fall acne flare-ups are also
greatly influenced by mood swings, low spirits and stress.
Acne is inherited. If your parents had it or have it now, then chances
are high that you are more likely to have acne, too.
Hormones play a key role as far as acne. Hormones cause an increase in
oil production - in your hair, skin, just about everywhere. And where
does this extra oil settle? In your pores, of course.
Since the pores are clogged with all that oil, bacteria and dead skin
cells, they are unable to breathe. And clogged pores can only mean one
thing - acne alert. Don't forget that mineral oil can clog the pores as
well! Proper skin care & quality skin care products will help to
eliminate acne year-round.
| * | Keep your hands away from your face. There is oil and bacteria on your hands. Do you really want to add any more to your face? |
| * | Wash your face with Noevir and rinse thoroughly by splashing the face gently with lukewarm water 20 times, blot off with a clean, damp washcloth. |
| * | Noevir's Clean Wash with salicylic acid is a gentle exfoliator that unclogs pores and follicles. Exfoliation can prevent acne, speeding up the skin's shedding. |
| * | Iodine is one of the few "foods" associated with acne breakouts. Avoid iodized salt, shellfish and seaweed. |
| * | Jaw line acne can be caused, or exacerbated, by pressing a telephone receiver against your face. |
| * | Gentle cleansing is mandatory for acne-prone skin, which is more sensitive than normal skin. |
| * | Picking acne can lead to scarring. |
| * | Vigorous cleansing is the worst way to deal with acne-prone skin. All it does is irritate and lead to rebound oiliness. |
| * | Wash your hair. And keep it and your hands off your face to help prevent acne by your hair line. |
| * | Seventy-five to 85 percent of teens suffer acne breakouts vs. 30 to 40 percent of adults. |
Noevir's Clean Wash from the Clear Control Skin Care Line is a gentle yet effective deep-cleansing formula that contains bentonite, an oil-absorbing clay to lift out impurities, leaving only super-refreshed, clean-feeling skin behind.
The Clear Toning Lotion contains zinc oxide, with bacteria-fighting astringent qualities to promote a clearer complexion. The Toning Lotion also contains salicylic acid to help alleviate thick, dull skin cells associated with an oily skin type. And talc, an oil-absorbing powder to help control oil shine throughout the day.
The Clear Blemish Gel is an oil-free, clear gel formula that quickly permeates the skin for maximum effectiveness in helping to fight blemishes and acne.
Noevir's Clay Masque is a great product to help absorb excess oil and draw out impurities (such as blackheads and whiteheads).
Noevir's Cleansing Crystals are also ideal for acne prone and oily skin. They provide gentle enzyme exfoliation without stripping the skin of essential oils.
Finally, even oily skin needs moisturizing. Noevir scientists have found that acne-prone skin that has been over dried tends to react by producing even more sebum! So it is important to lightly moisturize to keep sebum levels steady. Choose from a moisture lotion such as 99 Replenishing Moisturizer.
When acne is under control, gradually switch to one of Noevir's complete skin care lines.

Anticipate
your skin's week-by-week changes for a clear complexion all month long.
Monthly hormone surges stimulate sebaceous glands to secrete oil and can
wreak havoc on your skin. To keep skin clear and breakout-free, read
on...
Your cycle starts on the first day of your period - and lasts anywhere from 21-40 days. Ovulation (when an egg is released, awaiting fertilization) occurs on or around day 14 of your cycle. In the first week after your period, estrogens increase, keeping skin clear, (this hormone helps keep oil glands in check). But once ovulation occurs, your blemish potential increases, peaking in the days before your period. The result, oily skin and breakouts.
You usually get breakouts the week before your period, concentrated on
the jaw line, chin and neck.
Your skin seems more sensitive during the fourth week of your cycle.
Keep your skin clear and glowing all month long with this beauty
solution.
1. Choose your cleansers wisely. When your skin is at its most
difficult, use cleansers with a powerful pore declogger like salicylic
acid. Try
Noevir Clear Control Clean Wash. Contains bentonite clay to absorb
excess oil and licorice extract to soothe inflammation.
2. Add a gentle exfoliator to your regimen. It can help to exfoliate
dead skin cells to reveal a smoother, healthier-looking complexion. Try
Noevir Clear Control Toning Lotion.
3. Don't skimp on your moisturizer. Choose a oil-free or noncomedogenic
(non-pore-clogging) moisturizer like
99 Replenishing Moisturizer.
4. Use anti-blemish products faithfully. Try
Noevir Clear Control Blemish Gel. An oil-free, clear gel formula
provides invisible protection day or night. Exfoliates dead skin cells
to reveal a smoother complexion.
Sometimes you may need the seek the help of a hormone expert (an
endocrinologist or a gynecologist) if your monthly acne is resistant to
skin treatments.

A couple of
things to think about with this kind of hyperpigmentation, or "dark
spots". Be proactive. Be sure to wear a sun protection. You already have
too much pigment in the affected area, which, if exposed to the sun,
could get ten times darker than the rest of your skin. Use Noevir
Raysela Face Protector SPF 30. Goes on invisibly under your makeup,
without a greasy feeling or white residue. Developed under the guidance
of pediatricians and based on testing results of children ages 1-6 years
old in Japan, Raysela Face Protector SPF 30 is allergy tested and
doesn't contain fragrance, color, or PABA, making it gentle enough for
the entire family including children and those with sensitive skin.
If you are acne prone, then try Noevir Clear Control line, which
includes the
Clean Wash,
Toning Lotion and
Blemish Gel. Treats adult acne and breakouts without the harsh,
stripping ingredients you remember from your youth. Contains salicylic
acid for a smoother, softer complexion.
If you are past the acne stage, then try
Noevir Quick Recovery Mask with beta hydroxy acid to help clarify
and brighten your complexion, with natural polishing scrubs to provide a
dual-phase exfoliation that is gentle to the skin.
Another Noevir product for effective hyperpigmentation treatment would
be
Noevir Recovery Complex to boost your natural exfoliation process
with gentle beta hydroxy acid formula and antioxidant vitamins C and E
and eggshell membrane protein for firmer skin tone. Some clients use
this product as a gentle moisturizer or as a special treatment product
in addition to their regular skin line.
Another great product for fighting "dark spots" or age spots is Blanc
Nouveau C12 and
C50.
This is a hyperpigmentation treatment with ultra-stable Vitamin C
derivates that promotes a bright and translucent complexion. I have been
using the C12 for about a month, and I see that my freckles are less
noticeable. The C12 is used during the day and the C50 is used at night.
If you suffer from severe acne, or have an excess of hyperpigmentation
or scarring, you may want to see your dermatologist.
Thank you, Noevir, for developing ABSOLUTELY the best Vitamin C product on the market. The Blanc Nouveau system has been my easiest sell, by far. Price is not even an issue! In only 2 days...WOW! I noticed a brighter and smoother complexion, visible improvement to my discoloration and fine lines, and tighter, firmer skin.
Within my first week back home, two clients bought the system from me on sight. They told me later that the difference they saw in my skin is what sold them--they had to have what I had! One client thought I'd had something done surgically. No way! Noevir provides us with quality products backed by the highest standards and ethics. Know it, believe it, and with enthusiasm, JUST DO IT!"

Breakouts and acne aren't limited to the face alone. You may find pimples popping up on your chest, back, arms, or beyond. There are many causes of back and body acne, with perspiration and tight clothing being the main suspects. For treatment, when body acne strikes, your first approach should be salicylic acid. Try Noevir's Clear Control Clean Wash with salicylic acid to gently exfoliate, bentonite clay to absorb excess oil and lift impurities and licorice extract to relieve inflammation.
- Shower immediately after a workout. Don't wait until you get home.
- Exfoliate regularly. Using Noevir Clear Control Clean Wash is a great
way to help keep body breakouts at bay.
- Wear workout gear that breathes and wicks away perspiration. Newer
synthetic fabrics do an excellent job of this. Contrary to popular
belief, cotton is not the best choice, since the perspiration remains in
the fabric and in contact with the skin.
