Acne affects about 85 percent of the population at some time in their life and is the most common skin disease treated by dermatologists. It is a chronic disorder of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands that is characterized by black heads, pimple outbreaks, cysts, infected abscesses, and (sometimes) scarring. In the normal course of events, sebum, made in the sebaceous glands deep down in the skin, travel up the hair follicle to emerge through a fine pore on the surface. However, when hormones cause too much oil to be produced, or skin cells block the path of the oil, you can get blackheads or whiteheads. Further exacerbating these conditions are skin-care or makeup products that can build up in the pore, along with skin cells that can get trapped in the sticky sebum.
When sebum and skin cells are sitting in a pore that is not covered over by skin, they are exposed to the air, which causes the cells to oxidize and turn black. When the sebum and skin cells are sitting in a pore that is covered by skin, they are not exposed to air and therefore stay clear, but form a slight white bump under the skin.
If the blockage occurs deeper down, inflammation and primary bacterial infection combine to produce a much larger and angrier spot, which can spread when touched with dirty fingers. When the pimple becomes infected, a whitehead or pustule can develop. This is the type of blemish that can burst and may eventually scar. The biggest blemish of all is a cyst – the red, swollen result of a deeper infection. If you develop cysts, you should definitely seek the advice of a dermatologist.
Acne is INDEED strongly influenced by your DIET. One of acne’s causes is Acidosis, the toxic condition of the body that results from the retention of waste matter in the colon. This is a natural result of an orthodox diet that consists mainly of concentrated starches and sugars (cereal, bread, pasta, cookies, grain products of all type). These types of foods leave behind impurities in the body. Impurities in the body can be eliminated via the bowels, kidneys, lungs and – you guessed it - the skin (ah-ha!). In addition, eating refined carbohydrates and sugar leads to a surge of insulin and an insulin-like growth factor called IGF-1 in your body. This can lead to an excess of male hormones, which cause pores in the skin to secrete sebum. Additionally, IGF-1 causes skin cells known as keratinocytes to multiply, a process that is associated with acne.
Your attitude and your ability to cope with stress also plays a significant role in the development of acne. Doctors have seen a connection between stress and acne for a long time. Studies have shown that the body produces more androgens when a person is under stress. The increase may trigger acne flare-ups by stimulating the sebaceous glands to pump out more sebum. Even physical stresses, such as colds, allergies, surgery, or menstruation can trigger break-outs.
Acne Skin Care Tips
- Start with your diet. Eliminate refined carbohydrates and sugar. We recommend Dr. Mercola's Take Control Of Your Health Book for those wishing to begin a grain-free diet.
- Reduce stress and eliminate resentments. Worry, fear, anger, jealousy, frustration – somehow these resentments have become acceptable parts of the modern day mindset. Resentments have the ability to make just about every disease we encounter worse, and this includes acne. Resentments are many times a result of overwhelming stress. That's why it is so important to have an effective tool to help you with your stress before it becomes overwhelming. There are a variety of ways that you can do this -- yoga, meditation & making sure you get enough quality sleep to name a few. My favorite tool for relieving stress is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) energy psychology tool. EFT is a psychological acupressure technique that can help you to channel your stress-related thoughts and leave you feeling calmer and more able to face your challenges.

- Feierabend has a variety of organic acne products to combat acne. Acne is one of the most difficult skin conditions to remedy, largely because of the wide variances of individual skin types. Two of our recommended organic acne products contain alpha hydroxy acids - our Breakout Buster Cleanser & Breakout Buster Toner. While they can be very effective at combating acne, using too many AHA products may cause skin irritation. Additionally, any regular use of products containing AHA's may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun & the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen & limit sun exposure while using AHA products & for a week afterwards.
Since acne is one of the toughest skin condition to solve, it usually requires some experimentation – there simply is no "one-solution-fits-all" regimen for acne. We recommend starting with ONE PRODUCT AT A TIME, only ONCE per day. Start with either our Breakout Buster Cleanser (contains AHA's) or Purifying Cleanser (does NOT contain AHA's).
If after 4 days of once a day cleansing your skin is NOT irritated, GREAT – but STOP cleansing and START using the Breakout Buster Toner – only ONCE a day, following these guidelines: When toning, lightly soak a cotton pad with toner and begin cleaning your skin gently, one small section at a time. Never try using the same toner-soaked cotton pad all over the skin in one single try. Start with your forehead, especially at the hairline where it is most neglected during cleansing. After toning the forehead, look at the cotton pad; if you see makeup or any other discoloration on the cotton, get new cotton and tone the same section again. REPEAT this step until the cotton comes away perfectly white, free of any residue and pore debris. Then start with the next section. Perform this procedure from the hairline all the way to the neck.
If after 4 days of once a day toning your skin is not irritated, GREAT – now you can start using both a cleanser AND the Breakout Buster Toner. Use them both once a day, cleansing first, then toning. If after 30 days of once a day cleansing and toning your skin is still not irritated, GREAT – but at this point you should also be seeing some positive results. If your acne is clearing up, then just keep cleansing and toning, once per day. If your acne isn't clearing up, then start exfoliating your face with our Wildflower Honey Glow once a week after toning. If after 30 days of once a day cleansing and toning and once a week exfoliating your acne still isn't clearing up, email us – and we will discuss several options to advance your acne fighting efforts.
For the rest of your regimen, here are the organic acne products we recommend. While these aren't acne-fighting products, they are compatible with acne skin types and essential to your skin's overall health:
Rooibos Tea Serum
Rooibos Shea Crème
Calendula Butter Crème
Green Tea Fortifying Day Crème
French Clay Mask
- Do not use any oil-based cosmetics, which will only aggravate oily skin and create further blemishes. Use water-based, non-comedogenic cosmetics.
- Also remember, regardless of your skin’s level of oil, your hair may be oily, contributing to breakout problems, especially around the forehead. Use one of our organic shampoos to thoroughly cleanse your hair.
