3 Simple Ways to Prevent Breakouts

Posted on March 22, 2013 by EVOHE

1. Wash your face daily

Cleanse your face twice a day daily with EVOHE Foam Wash. We recommend using our anti-bacterial bamboo face cloth when cleansing. The cloth is a gentle exfoliate and it will assist healthy skin renewal.

Avoid cheap foaming cleansers. Many foaming products (even those claiming to be “natural/organic”) often contain a synthetic version of coconut called Cocamidopropyl betaine. This is used commonly in foaming cleansers, as it is cheaper and foams/bubbles more easily than the natural version. The downside? Cocamidopropyl betaine is a synthetic surfactant; it will strip the skin of its natural oils (NOT ideal for acne prone skin!) and has been associated with irritation, allergic reactions and contact dermatitis.

EVOHE Foam Wash is 100% natural and does NOT contain cheap foaming agents. It’s the pump mechanism that helps this product to ‘foam’.

2. Don’t scrub

Whenever we get something we don’t want on our skin, our natural reaction is to scrub it until it goes away. However this is only going to make the problem worse. Instead of eliminating acne, excessive scrubbing can irritate the skin, causing ruptures to get even more inflamed, resulting in infection and possibly scarring.

As an alternative to harsh exfoliates, we recommend using EVOHE Silica Mask 2-3 times per week. Once the mask dries, gently use your fingertips to ‘buff’ away the powder. This removes dead skin cells from the surface of your skin, without aggravating your acne. Silica Mask can also be used as an overnight spot treatment to dry out your pimples!

After removing the mask with lukewarm water, be sure to lightly pat your face with a face towel – do not rub dry!

3. Don’t Dry Out Your Skin

Drink PLENTY of water, and moisturise, moisturise, moisturise! Dry skin can make matters worse – oil production might go into overdrive and this can affect the skin’s Ph levels.

We recommend EVOHE Repair Intensive as a daily moisturiser. The anti-inflammatory and antibacterial qualities of this product will soothe, reduce redness and nourish the skin. For extra hydration, add a pump of EVOHE 3.6.9 Omega – this will combat oiliness and balance the skin’s Ph levels.

Addressing Acne

Posted on January 31, 2010 by admin

Key Points to consider when addressing acne and the 3 simple steps EVOHE offers.

By Meg Forrester, EVOHE Founder

Combined with internal health, EVOHE offers a simple, no fuss method for keeping your skin clean and clear.

Three key factors in this three step routine:

Step 1

Firstly, you should be aware that the products you are washing your face with are not stripping your skin of its natural oil; your skin most likely won’t go into overdrive to compensate. Have you noticed the more you wash your face to get that squeaky clean feeling, the more your skin produces oil? You end up with a shiny face by mid-afternoon. EVOHE products will encourage your skin to find its natural balance by NOT stripping your skin of its natural sebum. The EVOHE Foam Wash contains a gentle surfactant derived from Olive Oil and it will not strip your skin but it WILL leave you feeling clean. You need to wrap your head around that it doesn’t foam up with bubbles; the types that do are the ones that will be likely to strip your skin.

Step 2

Secondly, when you moisturise with EVOHE products, your skin enjoys true hydration due to the ph balance of the ingredients used in EVOHE. Vegetable waxes commonly used in skin care tend to be heavy, and form a barrier on the skin, which of course is not great for acne prone skin. What we have noticed at EVOHE is that often those with acne have dry/dehydrated skin, with large pores that are screaming-out for hydration. Upon further investigation, many of those people had been using alcohol based products to try and ‘clear-up’ the excess oil, which left their skin even drier after washing with a foaming cleanser. Our discovery concludes that hydration of the skin with compatible products, will assist with balancing sebum production and skin vitality.

Step 3

Thirdly, the Silica Mask…’magic’. This product has become a ‘best friend’ to so many people out there. Particularly people with breakouts. The Silica Mask will assist with reducing redness and inflammation overnight. As a spot treatment it is magical. It is gentle enough to use every-day and it won’t dry-out your skin like many clay products, which result in a breakout. EVOHE use white clay, which is more gentle on the skin than the commonly used green clay. The green colour in this product comes from GREEN SUPERFOODS. You want healthy skin..? Get into your GREENS anyway you can.
