Multiple factors are involved in reversing and preventing skin aging.  Some of the most important are:

• Repairing damage caused by free-radicals
• Providing sufficient antioxidant protection and nutrients
• Restoring and maintaining proper moisture and oil content
• Supporting the health and reproduction capabilities of the skins cells
• Killing undesirable microorganisms living on the skin
• Reducing skin inflammation
• Detoxifying the skin

Most acne is a combination of both inflammatory (modules, cysts, or pustules) and non-inflammatory (open or closed comedones) conditions. 

Properly cleansing your skin will make a huge difference in healing of acne.  It is important not to scrub your face but to gently cleanse your skin.  Scrubbing will actually increase the inflammatory condition causing acne and make the acne breakouts worse.

Purely Clear is adding a new product to our all-natural skin care and mineral makeup line.  The new product is Intensive Acne Serum.  Not only has the product shown to prevent and reduce acne, but it is also an excellent product to shrink enlarged pores. 

Most acne products on the market today use chemicals to either overly dry out the skin or aggressively exfoliate the skin.  Over drying the skin actually causes the skin to produce more oil in the long run to compensate for the dryness which then causes more breakouts and excessive oil production.   Aggressive exfoliation leads to skin damage which can lead to wrinkles and other negative skin issues.  Also, the topical application of chemicals can lead to numerous health issues from endocrine disorders to various cancers. 

One of the primary goals of Purely Clear is to make people aware of the fact that what they put on their skin absorbs into their blood and cells.  Based upon that truth, we produce products that not only produce beautiful, clear, healthy skin, but have beneficial effects on the body as a whole.

Our Intensive Acne Serum helps to nourish and balance the skin cells functioning.  This will help address the acne breakouts in the short run but also helps to promote healthy, beautiful skin for years to come.

A recent study showed that topical application of a cream containing green tea extract provided significant protection to the skin against damaging ultra violet (UV) rays.
