Danielle Gronich and Kayleigh Christina TAKEAWAYS
1. Reframe ‘Clean’: Clean Skincare Does Not Mean Acne-Safe! Organic coconut oil = organic pimples! Even natural ingredients can clog pores.
2. Get Rid of Pore-Clogging Ingredients: To build an acne-safe skincare routine, google ‘CLEARSTEM Pore-Clogging Ingredients Checker’ and search for your products. Our resource will help you identify the potential pore-clogging ingredients in your current product lineup so you can swap them out for clear-skin alternatives.
3. Simplify Your Skincare: You don’t need an 18-step routine. Keep your routine streamlined and focus on product efficacy. CLEARSTEM has clinical trials to demonstrate our effectiveness in clearing acne.
4. Address the Root Cause of Your Acne through Nutrition & Lifestyle: There are many hidden internal acne triggers, like gluten & dairy, refined sugar & industrial seed oils, and even the protein found in egg whites. Dive deeper than topical skincare to reduce inflammation and clear your skin from within.
5. Think Beyond Acne Prescriptions: Traditional acne medications and birth control can help, but these ‘solutions’ often have adverse side effects that last for years. Our goal at CLEARSTEM is to empower you with in-depth resources that support your holistic well-being on your path to clear skin for life.
