After years of trying different “clean” skincare products, I have finally found something that has produced visible results & is safe for those on a journey of balancing their hormones & reducing toxic products.
I thought I’d struggle with large pores for the rest of my life because it was “genetic” from my grandfathers side. Well let me tell ya, that is NOT the case!
In just one wash using the Clearity (that’s designed for cleaning out & minimizing pores) my pores were purging gunk & shrinking up. This stuff is amazing!
Optimizing Skin Barrier
Let’s begin with some wildly important info to understand.
The skin has a barrier called the ACID MANTLE & it needs to be maintained at a specific pH to keep bacterial balance in check, prevent water loss & protect against environmental pollutants.
Most products on the market are too acidic or too alkaline which damages this barrier & causes bacterial imbalance (which can lead to acne, dryness, sensitivity & inflammation).
I first learned about this 5 years ago when we bought a Kangen water machine. It makes a specific pH balanced water called “Beauty Water” that’s designed to be a natural toner & great for the skin. It has a pH of 5.5 - 6 which is the perfect pH for optimal skin health. Once I started washing my face with this & using it as a toner several times a day, I really started to notice an increase in my skin’s hydration & “glowiness”.
(This slightly acidic water is also what makes my houseplants thrive! Healthy soil & thriving plants need the same pH balance as our skin!)
Using filtered & ionized water that is designed to support skin health along with this line of smartly designed skincare products will help you get the anti-aging results you’ve been looking for.
Acne & skin health is also very much INTERNAL
Another important thing to note is that what is happening on the inside of your body will show up on the outside of your body.
I personally struggled with terribly painful cystic acne for years until I did a stool test & discovered I had several bacterial infections wreaking havoc in my body.
After working on my gut health, removing the infections & balancing my hormones I found myself totally cystic acne-free for the first time in SO long!
From there on, I still struggled with whiteheads & clogged pores until I switched to washing & rinsing with the Beauty Water from our Kangen machine.
Soon after that, I quit wearing face makeup entirely which started to really decrease whiteheads. I highly recommend going through your makeup to find what could be aging your skin!
For a full list of pore-clogging ingredients & all of this in more detail, check out Emily Morrow’s Pore Clogger List. She’s the one who really brought all this information together for me & introduced me to Clearstem.
It wasn’t until recently when I switched to Clearstem that my forehead wrinkles really started to dissipate as well as any leftover, pesky clogged pores that were still lingering! This was a breakthrough moment for me that honestly gave me much relief & helped me worry much less about my the aging that comes along with a beautiful life. I’m feeling confident that I will be confident in my skin for a long time.
It has been a long journey of learning & unlearning. I used to get monthly facials with estheticians using spa-quality products but now I know their products had pore clogger ingredients which were keeping my skin in this perpetual “almost nice” state.
I am so glad to be sharing this knowledge with you & am so grateful for the clear skin I get to wake up with everyday. I pray you can also experience that & if you need help getting functional lab testing to get to the root cause or have questions about your skincare, please reach out! I’m happy to help.
