June is #acneawarenessmonth, and CLEARstem is here to spread knowledge, support you and let you know that you are not alone!
Did you know that acne is the MOST common skin condition in the U.S? Acne can appear during any stage of life and can be caused by many factors.
Acne is a condition thats root cause is “retention hyperkeratosis,” which means that our pores are genetically prone to making excessive amounts of keratin protein, which then gets stuck within the pore. In more simplistic terms: our pores get clogged very easily.
Acne comes from 4 main causes. Genetics (the most out of our control), imbalanced hormones, topical pore cloggers, and a heavily processed diet or food allergies.
Most individuals have dealt with some form of acne within their lifetime. We know it may be frustrating, but it is normal.
You are NOT alone, and clear skin doesn't = beauty. You are beautiful with and without breakouts. You are human.
This month we will be sharing our favorite acne tips, fun facts, and all things acne related to help our acne-prone followers through the month of June!
