Dr. Agnes & AcnEase were featured in At Home Magazine’s, Ask the Doctor with "the UK’s Dr. Oz”, Dr. Christian Jessen.  In here, Herborium’s CEO and natural medicine specialist, Dr. Agnes describes the Road Map to Breaking the Cycle of Acne.

The team at Beauty Press hosted a Spotlight Day at Midtown Loft & Terrace in New York City and put some great Beauty Brands on my radar! I thought I'd share them all with you and include some photos too.

Packing the bite of a conference and networking seminar into two sessions isn't easy, but they sure make it look like it is!

When it comes to getting rid of acne, sometimes it's better to fight the

battle from within. While we have tried other internal acne fighting

supplements, we were not at all pleased with the horrible side effects.

But our desire to fight our acne from the inside out still remained. We

were so happy to hear about this all-natural, herbal supplement. By

taking a few AcnEase pills a day, you're arming your body with what it needs to treat and prevent future acne breakouts.

I

am a 43 years old and I am suffering from cursed acne lesions. I

actually never had acne as a teenager but developed mild acne because I

have an IUD. It is unfortunate that the very mild hormones in the IUD

can cause acne lesions but they do. It is one of the main side effects

of the device. I have tried several things to help heal and prevent

these lesions but to no avail. Until I decided to try out AcnEase. This

is an herbal supplement that you take several times per day and it

actually can get rid of acne lesions completely! How amazing is that? I

am so ecstatic and over-the-moon happy about this.

The formula, which is safe and causes no side effects, was developed specifically to treat the underlying causes of acne and works for adolescent and adult acne sufferers (women and man alike) with a variety of acne types.

The pills treat current outbreaks and prevent new acne from forming with a holistic, effective approach to skin health. These tablets work for all complexion types, colors, and do not discolor or irritate the skin. There are also no restrictions on sunlight exposure like there are for many traditional acne treatments.

The fact is that more than 1 out of every 2 pregnant women can expect to develop acne. And for some, acne may be severe. Using any type of medications, including acne treatments, during pregnancy presents a dilemma: the expectant mother needs to make certain the safety of the baby as well as the mother is preserved. So how do we know what’s safe and what’s not?

As we try to understand the etiology (causes) of acne, hormonal imbalance is cited as one of the most prevailing culprits contributing to this skin problem.

Both, women and men produce all three sex hormones: estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. Of course, depending upon if you are a woman or a man, your glands produce more estrogen or testosterone. If a woman produces too much testosterone (androgens), this physiologic “over-dose” may result in symptoms such as acne, too much facial or body hair (hirsutism), patterned female baldness and sometimes changes in menstruation cycle or infertility.

Soy. You’ll find it on the shelves these days in many processed goods
as an added oil (e.g. soy lecithin), or in the form of burgers, hotdogs,
and even nuggets. But you’ll also find it in health food stores, and
among widely recommended herbal products. Likewise, some say to avoid
it, and others consider it part of a healthy diet or even the foundation
of a vegan or vegetarian diet.

We all mess up sometimes. That’s life. But since your skin is the largest organ of your body, and a vulnerable one at that, it’s best to know what good things you can do to it, and what skincare no-no’s may eventually turn into bad habits that take a mighty toll on your skin.

Before we start, did you know that acne breakouts do not come from what you put on your skin and therefore cannot be treated by topical products? Most acne may be traced to fluctuations in hormone levels, especially androgens (male hormones, also known as testosterone), and their power to over stimulate sebaceous glands. As acne results from inflammation caused by sebum-clogged hair follicles (pores)  and bacteria, ruling out the factors that cause overproduction of sebum is very important. If you want to break the acne cycle, you need to help the body to balance itself and stop over stimulating the sebaceous glands.

Skin is the largest organ of the
body.  It has many important functions,
and our bodies are programmed to protect this vital organ.  Unfortunately, sometimes the protection
process goes haywire when our sebaceous glands, which produce skin oils (sebum)
necessary to keep our skin healthy and supple, start producing the wrong amount
of sebum. When not enough oil is produced, our skin begins to age and becomes
dry, scaly and itchy. On the other hand, overproduction of sebum results in oily skin and may often lead to acne.

Who doesn't want to go a bit overboard with makeup on Halloween? Though this is the time to get away with it, you still may want to do it in a way that does not exasperate your acne.  

Here are some Halloween tips to look crazy-good but let your acne-prone skin survive the night.

Webinar Back By Popular Demand:  8/24, 7:30pm EST

If
you missed the first webinar (which was overbooked so we had to schedule it
again!) on how to create your own ACTION® plan on how to treat your
acne, you won't want to miss it this time!  For anyone with acne,
no matter how long you've had it for, you will be able to walk away from
this webinar not only with an ACTION® plan, but Dr. Agnes Olszewski,
CEO of Herborium and natural medicine specialist, will also share with you
her secrets that have helped hundreds of thousands on not only breaking the
cycle of acne, but how to overcome the emotional effects of having this
skincare issue.

Skin oils (also called sebum) produced by your skin’s sebaceous glands are necessary to keep our skin healthy and supple. When not enough oil is produced, our skin begins to age and becomes dry, scaly and itchy! On the other hand, over-production of sebum may eventually lead to acne.

Under normal conditions, the sebaceous glands are a “well-oiled machine” (no pun intended) and they make just the right amount of sebum, which flows up through the pores of the skin to the surface to maintain healthy skin. When excess sebum is produced, it can lead to clogged pores, which accumulate this excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria and create a perfect recipe for forming whiteheads, blackheads (comedones) and pimples. Therefore, the first step in pimple formation (AKA acne) is the over-production of sebum, and your first visible sign of a potential acne problem is... oily skin. Since an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure, it makes sense to start preventing acne at the first sign of a problem: OILY SKIN.

While acne in men may not be considered dangerous, it certainly can be very distressing —and is surprisingly common as well. Over 25% of acne sufferers are men and this includes not just adolescents but grown men. In fact, during the last decade the median age of people with acne (including men) has risen by almost 23%, from 20.5 to about 26.5 years of age. In addition, guys have obviously less chance to camouflage acne with make up while at the same time their acne is usually more difficult to treat. The newer generation of men in general tend to be more concerned with their appearance, and more focused (and spending) on their looks including wellness, grooming and attire.

It’s hard enough to fight acne, but fighting acne scars is truly an uphill battle. There are many options available to help make scars less visible, but unless you work on treating, and most of all PREVENTING acne from coming, NONE of them will work and be worth your effort and money.

Acne marks and scars result from repeated (and extensive) damage to the skin due to acne pustules and papules, pimples, zits, cysts, etc. Each is associated with an inflammatory reaction which causes some local damage when combating bacteria trapped in the clogged pores of the skin.

If you think of a cut on your skin, you get a scab that helps it to heal. Pimples that become inflamed are like little cuts that need to heal; with repeated breakouts there is no time for the skin to regenerate. When you stop acne from coming you will allow your skin to at least partially renew itself using collagen (building blocks for the skin) producing new healthy tissue. As a result, your acne scars will become less visible, and those marks that are more superficial (small and less deep) may even vanish.

Are  you one of those people that believe if you lay out on the beach all day long, your acne will dry out? Or that if you lather on any type of sunscreen in the morning, it will last all day? These thoughts seem
logical, but unfortunately, they’re incorrect. Learning about proper sun  protection and sunscreens in relation to acne will help keep you safe and your skin clear!

Myth 1: The sun is bad for me

FACT: No, the sun is NOT BAD for you.
The sun is healthy if you take the proper precautions. Ultraviolet light from the sun comes in two main wavelengths: UVA and UVB. They are quite different in respect of the risk they create for your health. UVA rays are those that are considered “bad”, which can cause you to burn and eventually, excess exposure may lead to skin cancer. UVB helps you produce vitamin D, which is very important for your overall wellbeing, supports your bones, skin, muscles, heart, eyesight and immune system- but don’t be fooled, excess exposure can be harmful to your skin cells.
Moderation in sun exposure and using proper sun protection are keys to your skin and body health since long-term, excessive exposure to sunlight can increase the risk of certain types of skin cancer. Appropriate use of sun protection also plays a major role in helping to combat acne breakouts and heal acne scars and marks.

Take acne into your own hands

You don’t have to be a teenager to experience the angst-inducing effects of acne. Thankfully there are several at-home remedies you can easily put together to help soothe your skin and combat a dreaded breakout.

Dr. Agnes is the founder of AcnEase, a unique provider of alternative and complementary health care solutions in the U.S and global marketplace. According to Dr. Agnes, scientists have found that cocoa can contain more antioxidants per cup than red wine or green tea.

There is also data suggesting that regular eating (or drinking) of dark chocolate without sugar (or strong dark chocolate-based cocoa [without sugar]) can calm skin that’s been irritated by sun exposure, and in general, improve skin texture, hydration and appearance. Cocoa butter is actually a familiar additive to many cosmetic products such as body butters, creams or scrubs.

She notes that, in general, chocolate and chocolate-based products are good natural choices to improve your skin. It will act as a moisturizer (makes skin smoother and more supple); calm irritated, dry skin; promote rejuvenation from inside out and help detoxification.

So you have a hot date planned, including a romantic chocolate wrap for two perhaps? You’re excited, ready to go and then, you look in the mirror and a pimple rudely popped up on your face in a most noticeable place.  A normal reaction is to pop it —but don’t do it!  It will only invite more bacteria in, make it look worse and worse yet, create an acne scar.  Here is what you can do!

Dr. Agnes P. Olszewski, Founder of AcnEase®, an all-botanical acne treatment, shares with us her top 5 at home remedies to get rid of pimples quickly.

Forget the heavy $100 creams and the crazy as-seen-on-TV skincare systems—you don't need to feel like a chemistry lab rat to improve your skin health this year.

Cassandra Bankson, the teen whose makeup routine to cover up her acne-plagued skin made her into a YouTube sensation, started the next chapter of her life, landing a spot on the runway during New York Fashion Week.

A confident Bankson walked the runway at the Stacey Igel's "Boy Meets Girl" show in New York City Wednesday night, proudly putting a past of being bullied for her acne-ridden skin behind her.

"I'm a small town girl who sits in her living room and films videos all day and now...I'm in New YorkFashion Week," Bankson said backstage. "It's still a dream. I am so thankful."

The 19-year-old first achieved Internet stardom after posting makeup
tutorials on YouTube with her concealing tips, revealing how she covered
her acne-ridden skin before heading out to face the world. In the
videos, Bankson talks to her 45 million viewers, first in full makeup,
but then strips off the layers of foundation, concealer and powder to
reveal pimples and blemishes.

I’ve said it before and I’m not embarrassed to say it again… I have hormonal acne issues.  Being a beauty blogger who doesn’t have the slightest idea how to use photoshop, (I’m trying to learn, and it’s seriously like I’m trying to teach my grandpa how to use “the twitter”) I try to keep my face as under control as possible.  With products from Reviva Labs and Murad, it’s been pretty easy.  BUT.  I test A LOT of skin care.  And sometimes different products will just make a break out happen.

As I said, my acne is hormone related.  It’s all along the jaw and chin area.  (Having kids does a lot more to your body than stretching out that gut!).  I’m always in the market to shock my face into submission.  So, when the opportunity to try out AcnEase came about, I jumped on it much like I jump on the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.

I went off of spironolactone because of all the side effects, and I broke out pretty bad. I ordered this stuff in desperation. I have been
taking this for about 11 days at 12x/day and it has healed my acne about 70%. I am still breaking out a little but nothing like it was before.
My skin is glowing, the zits aren't red they are more pink, less oily skin, and its only been 11 days. I'll repost after a month!.
