Personalised consultation
Your treatment will begin with a comprehensive consultation where your expert skin therapist will get to know you and your skin in order to perform the best and safest treatment that targets your individual skin goals.

Be sure to share any important information on your health including medications you take.

Deep Cleansing
Your skin will be double cleansed to ensure all makeup, dirt and pollutants are removed from the skin and this phase may include tech such as an ultrasonic brush to intensify the cleansing action, getting deep into those pores.

Face Mapping skin analysis is also performed to determine the next steps and appropriate product selection.

For clean and clear skin at home, use Breakout Clearing Foaming Wash

Skin Resurfacing
To clear dead skin and sebum build up, a hydroxy acid-based peel is used to remove pore clogging debris and smooth skin’s texture. It’s normal to feel a little tingling sensation at this point. Your therapist will adjust timing and use of tech here depending on your sensitivity levels.

Try Breakout Clearing Liquid Peel to say goodbye to rough texture, breakouts, and hyperpigmentation, and hello to clearer, brighter skin.

Pore Softening and Extractions
Next up is professional pore softening and extractions – this means a safe and hygienic way to remove those blackheads and reduce under the surface congestion! We don’t recommend squeezing blackheads and definitely not inflamed breakouts yourself to avoid damage and scarring. Leave this to the pros!

For blackhead softening at home, try Blackhead Clearing Fizz Mask a few times a week.

Skin Soothing and Defence
Last up is the application of actives to calm and soothe the skin and bacteria-fighting actives to control breakouts. Light hydrating formulas are layered to leave skin fresh and glowing and protected from the elements.

At home, try Breakout Clearing Booster for inflamed breakouts followed by Cooling Aqua Jelly for all the hydration with none of the shine!

Personalised Prescription
Your Expert skin therapist will complete your treatment with a personalised prescription and advice to help you maintain the treatment results and achieve your skin goals.

If you're just getting started on your skincare regime, you might like to try our Clear Start Breakout Clearing Kit for £29. This kit lasts around 30 days and includes everything you need to cleanse, treat breakouts, and hydrate your skin.

Breakouts Explained

What Causes Breakouts?
In general, breakouts are caused by a buildup of dead skin cells, excess sebum (oil), and bacteria. When excess oil and skin cells clump together, they can form an impaction, or plug, in a hair follicle, also known as a pore.

The Role of Bacteria: Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) bacteria live harmlessly on the skin but when trapped inside the follicle, they can multiply, causing breakouts. This results in inflammation, causing the redness and pain that is typically associated with inflammatory acne. Everyone has C. acnes bacteria.

Skin's Microbiome: The skin's microbiome, or natural environment, hosts all kinds of bacteria. Some, like Staphylococcus epidermidis (S. epidermidis), are "good" and help maintain healthy skin. Others, like C. acnes, can lead to breakouts. All of us have C. acnes, but they typically lie dormant in an aerobic environment where pores are open and oxygen is readily available. When pores are clogged, the environment becomes anaerobic because it lacks oxygen. This prompts C. acnes to "wake up" and contribute to breakouts.

Treating Breakouts: Anti-bacterial agents can be applied topically to help reduce C. acnes, but these agents can also target "good" bacteria. The skin has its own built-in antimicrobial system, which generates anti-microbial peptides and lipids that help ward off "bad" bacteria.

Anatomy of a Breakout
Our outermost layer of skin (the epidermis) coats our bodies and our follicles, like a thin sheet of laminating paper. Many follicles are attached to sebaceous glands below the skin's surface. These glands secrete sebum, which is whisked out by tiny vellus hairs.

The average person sheds approximately 35,000 skin cells per hour. A person with a genetic predisposition to acne skin can shed up to four times that amount. If any of those dead skin cells collect and remain in a sebaceous follicle, there is a chance that they can mix with excess oil and clump together. This can lead to low-grade acne such as blackheads and whiteheads and set the stage for higher-grade, inflamed acne such as papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.

High Grade (Inflammatory) Acne

When redness or inflammation is present, the client potentially has a higher-grade form of acne.

Papules: Papules are red, raised bumps that occur after a closed follicle is deprived of too much oxygen. This anaerobic environment causes the dormant C. acnes inside to become active and consume excess sebum and dead skin cells. The more C. acnes multiply and consume sebum, the bigger the follicles swell into papules.

Pustules: Pustules are pus-filled bumps that form when an infection is present in the follicle. This happens when the follicle swells too much with excessive skin cells, sebum, and bacteria, causing the follicle wall to rupture beneath the skin. This rupture lets C. acnes spill into the dermis. This infection triggers the immune system to send white blood cells to the rescue. A battle rages between white blood cells and C. acnes, causing collateral damage in the form of pus. Clients often mistake pustules for whiteheads because of their white or yellow-capped appearance, but pustules are red and inflamed whereas whiteheads are not.

Nodules: Nodules develop when an infection spreads to neighboring follicles. Nodules look like multiple papules and pustules clustered together, or large bumpy areas.

Cysts: Cysts form when the infection lingers long enough within the dermis for the body to quarantine it within a membrane. Because of this quarantine, nothing gets in or out of a cyst, including topical acne products.

Other Contributing Factors to Breakouts

Everyone breaks out for different reasons because everyone's skin is different. However, there are four main areas you can focus on to help further isolate the cause(s) of your clients' breakouts.

Lifestyle: Ineffective or overly aggressive cleansing and exfoliation to rid the skin of dead skin cells and excess sebum can be one of the main lifestyle-related contributors to breakouts. Other factors include comedogenic makeup, hair products, and clothing that trap sweat and dead skin cells.

Stress: Stress is a common contributor because it can lead to the stimulation of more oil production and further slow the skin's recovery. Keep in mind, stress takes many forms and doesn't have to be psychological. For example, your client could have physical stress from dehydration or dietary issues.

Age: The younger your client is, the more likely they are to have oilier skin and frequent breakouts. Younger skin also tends to be more resilient, meaning it can withstand recurring breakouts and heal more rapidly. As clients age, their skin tends to produce less oil and have more isolated breakouts. However, slower cell turnover makes their skin more susceptible to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

Genetics: Many people have a genetic predisposition to acne, which means their skin produces four to five times more dead skin cells and has larger, more active sebaceous glands than people with non-acneic skin. They can also have thicker sebum and fewer tiny (vellus) hairs that wick away oil from the follicles. These conditions can make impacted follicles more common.
