ACNE, BLACKHEADS, WHITEHEADS, ZITS, PIMPLES, CONJESTION

ACNE can be described as all of the above or just one of the names listed in the title of this blog.  Below are pictures showing the different grades of acne that are diagnosed by a physician.

If you have been diagnosed by a physician that you are Grade III or IV, or think you may be just by looking at the pictures...you should be on medication and excellent topical antibacterials, anti-inflammatory, and chemical exfoliants.  If you have not seen a physician, I would highly recommend it!

Above you can see an illustration of both a whitehead and a blackhead inside a follicle/pore.

The illustration above shows the stages of a follicle as bacteria grows and becomes infected.




 Below shows a larger illustration of a healthy follicle versus one that is infected with bacteria.

This before and after shows scarring improvement.  But this scarring was from both black and whiteheads.  If you aren't removing or having your blackheads removed properly, you can develop redness and scarring.  I will talk later about proper pore preparation before extraction takes place.

 

Below you see an illustration of an enlarged follicle/blackhead and to the right you see a pretty typical nostril full of blackheads.  If this is really all the blackheads you have on your face...you are lucky and you don't have acne!!  So don't think you do silly!

 

Here are three really good whiteheads that are so ready to pop that the bacteria is yellow!

This forehead is covered with whiteheads.  They definitely need to be using antibacterial wash, astringent and a chemical exfoliant everyday to help dry up and prevent new whiteheads from popping up.

This is a nice large whitehead on the nose.  This is will be a pretty painful one to extract and will probably bleed a lot.  Most likely this is more than just one pore that has been infected.  Tea tree oil is an excellent natural antiseptic to use after extracting both black and whiteheads.

Before you or your professional jumps in and starts extracting your blemishes, make sure you have had some steam on your pores for at least 6-12 minutes.  This softens the pores and allows the bacteria to come out easier and less painful.  This also makes the pores more elastic so that when they appear larger with the bacteria in them, after extraction takes place, the pore can shrink back down to regular or smaller size.

Steaming at home could also look like this if you don't have $200 to spend online or at Bed Bath & Beyond.  This is just filling up a bowl or sink with steaming hot water, then putting a towel over your head to trap the steam from escaping.  However, you do have to be careful you don't get a steam burn, so don't make your water boiling.

Here is another option if you don't want to hold your face over the steam.  Just soak a hand towel, wring it out so it's not dripping anymore while wringing. then roll up tight and stick into a microwave for 30 seconds or into a crock-pot to warm on low setting.  Wrap face tightly so towel doesn't fall off, then allow to set on for 6-10 minutes.  You may have to use two towels to achieve the correct pore softening before extraction.

Now for preforming the extraction properly!!!  You can wear gloves, if you are having a professional extract you, they should be wearing gloves.  Wrapping your index fingers in tissue or cotton squares (2x2's or 4x4's) provides cushion and protection from breaking capillaries and causing more pain than needed during extractions.  When pushing an extraction out, think of making a volcano with the pore, not a pit or valley.  Pushing the pore down could blow out the bottom of a pore, which would not help remove the infection, just push it deeper.  So push in a way that pops the pore up, pushing the bacteria/infection from the bottom of the pore, out the top, like a volcano.

allure magazine april 2011

Have you received and read this month/April 2011 issue of allure?  I just read it today and I felt compelled to write/post about it and Laura Mercier makeup that is all over the issue.


So first I'll will start with talking about Laura Mercier's new Baked Eye Colour Shadows!!

From top left to bottom right:  Black Karat, Lagoon, Violet Sky, Ballet Pink, Pink Petal, Terracotta

This is Black Karat first applied dry, then applied wet for more pigment...love this color!
The new Baked colors are used either wet or dry, and both day or night!

Who doesn't want a flawless look to their face when wearing makeup or applying makeup?  Laura Mercier tells/explains all about achieving her flawless look!  Here's how.....

You must prime the skin!  Laura has her original primer, oil-free primer, mineral primer & hydrating primer.  This pretty much covers every skin type!

Now pick your appropriate foundation.  Laura Mercier has 3 different tinted moisturizers (illuminating,oil-free & original), hydrating foundation, silk foundation, mineral foundation, and creme smooth foundation.

Here are a few of the wide range of color/shade options that Laura Mercier provides.

This is great placement to pick your correct color/shade to best match your neck and face so everything blends naturally and flawlessly.

Now after your foundation is blended and smoothed into your skin and you have concealed around the eyes and/or anything that needs concealed on the face....you must set your foundation with a powder.

Using the wide fan brush to lightly stroke the invisible loose setting powder, allows better blush color blending and bronzer blending over top a liquid or creme foundation.

Interested in trying Laura Mercier?  Go to your nearest SAKS 5th Avenue or Nordstrom store.  A counter representative would love to help you and apply as many shades you would like!

Jane Iredale The Skin Care Makeup

Esthetician, ALICE, @ Kenneth's Hair Salons & Day Spas/Mill Run, performed a Jane Iredale makeup application on me to show me what difference this mineral makeup can make!

Currently, I wear Laura Mercier, Aveda, MAC, and some Jane Iredale makeup.  My skin has a lot of pink and red undertones throughout my face, with blue around my eyes giving me a darker cast around my eyes.  As a makeup artist myself, I am always interested in learning more makeup lines and new tricks for better application.

Here is my before picture with no make up on....scary!

Here is my transformation that ALICE did with Jane Iredale makeup

Here is what ALICE used to achieve the look she created:

First she used a product called ABSENCE with Jane's Foundation Brush.  This product controls oil and prevents shine in pictures from camera flash.

Liquid Minerals (radiant) was applied next with the same foundation brush.  This product has a plumping serum and contains CoQ10, a potent anti-oxidant.

Here is a chart about the science behind the Liquid Minerals

Next ALICE applied Jane's Circle/Delete #2 with using Jane's Camouflage Brush.  This product contains jojoba oil and is great for dehydrated eyes.

 

Jane's PurePressed powder in Amber, was applied next with Jane's Handi Brush.  This flawless, lightweight mineral powder contains SPF 20!

Jane's Balance Spray is sprayed onto the face after each step of application.  This product contains anti-oxidants, finishes and sets the makeup leaving it feeling like skin.  Smells wonderful!

Brows:  ALICE used a light matte brown powder with angled brush to define brows, then went over brow hairs with Jane's clear brow gel called browfix.

Eyes:  ALICE applied Canvas lid primer, then applied Jane's gold shadow to lid.  In crease, Jane's copper eye shadow.  Highlight, Jane's Oyster eye shadow.  Liner, Jane's cream to powder charcoal & truffle blended into lash line.

Mascara: Jane's lash lengthening mascara in Jet Black to help define my eyes and appear wider.

Lips:  Jane's PureGloss in cotton candy....feels great!

Cheeks:  Makeup Forever No 99, Scarlet Matte Red/Orange.  Jane's oyster eye shadow was used as a highlight on my cheek bones and bronze moon glow was used to contour my cheek bones.

Here is my after picture again

This eye shadow pallet, Artist Eyes #2 contains both the truffle color ALICE used for my liner and the copper color she used in my crease.

This chart is helpful in figuring out which colors and products work well together with which types of skin tones.

This is an amazing before and after picture showing the coverage that is achievable with Jane Iredale makeup.

This is Jane's Sweet15 pallet.  Includes 15 eye shadow colors, 3 blush colors and 3 lip plumper colors.

Here is a picture of Jane's foundation brush.

Here is a picture of Jane's Handi brush, excellent with the powder foundations.
