FACIAL REDNESS

• Can be cause due to flushing, rosacea, eczema, dermatitis and psoriasis

• Commonly caused by activation of inflammatory response • Characterised by redness on the nose, cheeks and skin

AIM

• Minimise redness and inflammation by anti-‐‑inflammatory ingredients and barrier enhances

• Neutralise free radicals

• Avoid heat including steam treatment, hot showers and hot towels

• Using a mild foaming cleanser with excellent rinsability for sensitive skin to minimize barrier damage

• Avoid rigorous massaging and exfoliation • Apply anti-‐‑inflammatory ingredients including

colloidal oatmeal, oat beta glucan, witch hazel, niacinamide, panthenol, polyphenols, hyaluronic acid, zinc and salicylic acid (some rosacea sufferers will flair ups with salicylic acid so be sure to do patch testing)

• Apply creams high in emollients and film forming ingredients to hydrate and repair the stratum corneum

• Applying physical sunscreens to reflect UV radiation without inducing sensory stimuli that may be caused from chemical sunscreens that absorb UV radiation and transform it to heat which may evoke flushing and redness

PIGMENTATION

• Otherwise known as age spots. This condition can be UV induced or hormonal

• Hormonal pigmentation (dermal) is harder to treat than UV induced (epidermal)

• Hormonal pigmentation may be caused from pregnancy or the use of contraceptive pills

• Post inflammatory hyperpigmentation can be caused from skin trauma such as break outs

AIM • Decrease pigmentation with botanical skin lightening agents for a

more even skin tone • Increase exfoliation and cell turn over • Avoid factors that aggravate the condition such as oral pills, estrogen

replacement therapy, ultra violet exposure

4

• Start by trying to eliminate any stress and find out when the pigmentation first appeared and whether the condition is hormonal, post inflammatory or UV induced

• Preventing melanin formation and blocking the transfer of melanin with ingredients such as hydroquinone, vitamin C, kojic acid, arbutin, mulberry and licorice

• Hinder melanosomes transfer with products containing soy, niacinamide and n-‐‑acetyl glucosamine (NAG)

• Use exfoliating topical agents such as salicylic acid (BHA), alpha hydroxy acids (AHA) such as lactic acid to increase cell turnover and outpace the rate of melanin production

• Use a product high in Niacinamide to enhance exfoliation without needed a low pH. This will reduce oil and increase exfoliation for those with sensitive skin

• Hydrate the skin for optimum skin barrier protection with moisturisers containing emollients, humectants and occlusive agents

PREGNANCY

Many physiologic changes occur during pregnancy including • Increased androgen levels which can lead to worsening of acne or

hair growth • Pigmentation • Sensitive, dry and itchy skin • A worsening of conditions such as acne, psoriasis and dermatitis

AIM • Treat dry, itchy and flakey skin with adequate hydration • Even skin tone and reduce pigmentation caused from hormonal

changes • Avoid contraindicated treatments and procedures during pregnancy.

Opt for a more natural and safe approach to skin care during pregnancy.

• Topical treatments options for acne can be fewer than normal. Topical Retinoids have a very low absorption rate however a few cases of birth defects associated with topical tretinoin have been published. The data is still unclear and remains controversial however until larger amounts of data are collected women should stay clear of topical retinoids during pregnancy.

• Benzoyl peroxide seems to display no systemic effects on a pregnant woman and her child there use of this product would not be of concern

• Salicylic acid is often used in topical treatments for acne. There is a concern when a pregnant woman takes oral aspirin in high doses for pain relief. Low doses of aspirin have been well studied in pregnancy and do not appear to increase the risk of birth defects or other abnormal pregnancy outcomes. Topically the amount of salicylic acid entering the body would be much less than a woman on low dose aspirin. For this reason, it is

PREGNANCY

unlikely that topical salicylic acid would pose any risk to a developing baby. We recommend the use of our mild foaming wash with <0.5% salicylic acid during pregnancy. We do advise pregnant woman wanting to use products with higher amounts of salicylic acid to do so with caution and always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

• Glycolic acid is used topically as an alpha hydroxy acid used to treat acne. Studies examining the use of glycolic acid in human pregnancy have not been conducted; however, using topical glycolic acid during pregnancy should not be of concern, as only a minimal amount is expected to be absorbed into the body.

• Medicated Skin lightening agents and medical procedures during pregnancy should be deferred until after delivery. This is because melasma is more resistant to treatment because the hormonal trigger for it persists throughout pregnancy. Therapy may be unnecessary since most women have a significant improvement in melasma after pregnancy. We recommend using natural agents such as Niacinamide, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate and N-‐‑acetyl glucosamine found in our antioxidant and skin bright serum as a safe means of keeping your skin bright and evening your skin tone during pregnancy.

• Hair removal or reduction during pregnancy can safely be achieved with tweezers, waxes and razors. Lasers and electrolysis should be avoided due to lack of safety evaluations during pregnancy.

• For dry and itchy skin apply creams high in emollients and film forming ingredients to hydrate and repair the stratum corneum

• Essential Oils during pregnancy can be contra indicated due to the physiological effects they can have within the body. It is best to avoid classes of essential oils that are oestrogenic agents (enhanced estrogen), emmenagogue agents (may induce a period), teratogenic agents (may injure foetus) and abortifacient agents (may cause spontaneous abortion). *It is important to note that no evidence suggests that ant essential oils may be harmful when used externally however for studies to be carried out successfully several women would need to risk exposing their unborn foetus. Therefore we look at likelihood of physiological interactions based on the active constitutes of the essential oil

TREATMENT (CONT’D)

PREGNANCY

• Essential oil to be avoided include Aniseed, cedarwood, clary sage, cypress, fennel, jasmine (first 4 months), mugwort, peppermint, rose (first 4 months) rosemary, sweet marjoram, sage, parsley seed, pennyroyal, rue, tansy, thuja and wormwood,

• Concentrations of essential oils in finished products are limited to 0.5% in total for all over body care and frequent use products. Spot creams can be used at normal concentrations

• Applying physical sunscreens to reflect UV radiation without inducing sensory stimuli that may be caused from chemical sunscreens that absorb UV radiation and transform it to heat which may evoke flushing and redness

without disrupting or damaging the skin barrier further

AIM

• Use a cream cleanser instead of a harsh foaming detergent which removes hydrating lipids and the natural moisture factor from the skin

• Repair the skin using products that repair the skin barrier with fatty acids, cholesterol, ceramides or glycerol

• Use moisturisers that hydrate and reduce transepidermal water loss 2-‐‑3 times a day and after bathing. Moisturisers should include occlusive, humectants and emollients.

• For photodamaged skin, increase HA levels in the skin with niacinamide and N-‐‑acetyl glucosamine (NAG)

• Use products high in humectants such as hyaluronic acid, panthenol or glycerin to attract and hold moisture to the skin

• Create smooth skin by utilizing emollients such as shea butter, macadamia oil, olive squalane and jojoba oil

• Increase ceramides production with gentle ingredients such as Niacinamide to improve the skin barrier in atopic dermatitis
