Specially formulated to target congestion and blemishes, these products work to promote a clearer, healthier-looking complexion. Clear Congested Skin What is congested skin? When dead skin cells mingle with dirt, toxins, makeup and other impurities – topped off with overproduction of sebum – they create a kind of ‘debris’ that gets trapped in the skin’s pores. As a result, our overfilled pores produce whiteheads and blackheads. When a clogged pore becomes infected, a pimple is born. Congested skin can look and feel oily, rough, dull and even dirty. What triggers breakouts? Congested skin (and its consequent breakouts) is caused by overproduction of sebum. Sebum production is regulated by androgens. Acne-prone regions have higher levels of androgen receptors and increased local production of androgens within the sebaceous glands. Even a small increase in androgen levels (which can occur around menstruation) can trigger an outbreak. Androgen levels can also be influenced by things such as medication and stress. It has also been suggested that high-glycemic index foods may increase androgen formation. How to get clear skin Curb overactive sebaceous glands with thorough cleansing and twice-weekly exfoliation. Seek out ingredients such as Retinol , which supports the desquamation process (prompting cellular renewal) and is both anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial. And Niacinamide , which helps balance sebum production, reduces the appearance of larger pores and supports healthy barrier function.

It occurs when excess sebum (oil produced from the sebaceous glands) blocks the pores and then becomes a blackhead or whitehead. From there, it can develop into swollen, tender inflammations, pimples, or nodules (deeper lumps below
