Dew Skin Studio

If you’re struggling with acne and we put you on Acne Med, sometimes is may take a while for your skin to fully clear up and here’s why ⬇️

The most frustrating part of acne can be the fact that you just got a routine, have been sticking to it, and your skin still looks the same, if not worse!

But, the ingredients in Acne Med can cause your skin to purge; purging is your skin’s natural reaction to certain active ingredients that trigger rapid cellular turnover. While you may think that your skincare product is the reason for your skin purge, the truth is that those problems were already there in the first place—the purge just accelerated the process.

Acne Med has a certain percentage of Benzoyl Peroxide, which is the main ingredient causing your skin to purge. However, Benzoyl Peroxide is one of the best active ingredients for killing bacteria, a necessary weapon to fight acne.

The most important step of clearing acne is the purging process, and our providers, Meagan and Anica, cannot fully clear acne if the purge process does not occur!

This process timing depends on each and every client, your purge might take longer than others. BUT, after the purging is over, your skin will be clear, balanced, and so so happy!

So, trust US! We got you and your skin

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: Glymed’s Cell Protection Balm 🛡️

Cell Protection Balm is a barrier-repair balm that has so many great uses and benefits!

This product is excellent for post-peel and laser treatments, in addition to soothing extra dry or itchy skin, chapped lips, or skin irritated by rashes, scrapes, insect bites, and small burns.

It’s infused with live yeast cell derivatives that promote cell renewal and collagen synthesis!

When needed, you can use this as an extra layer of hydration on your skin after moisturizer. And, sometimes we even recommend clients use this as lip balm, or on their children’s diaper rashes!

Cell Balm is great for ALL skin types, even acne prone and sensitive skin. This product really does everything!

Today’s Skin Tip: ALWAYS double cleanse at night 🫧

Why should you double cleanse? When double cleansing, the first cleanser will break down any makeup, remove dirt and excess oils from the day and clean your skin.

The second cleanser will address your particular skin type or concern and should have ingredients to hydrate, smooth or exfoliate and treat acne!

We do NOT want excess dirt, oil, makeup, or sunscreen lingering on the skin overnight; when we sleep, our skin experiences cellular turnover and this process can be disrupted when the skin has not been cleansed properly!

Let’s talk HYDRATORS 💧

We sell a few different hydrators at Dew and we love them all!!

What is a hydrator, you may ask? They’re like a big drink of water for your skin. When your skin is lacking water, it becomes dehydrated which may present as fine lines, irritation, dullness, and redness.

Did you know it’s important to keep balance in the skin when using active ingredients like retinoids and exfoliants? Hydrators help keep the barrier nourished and balanced.

At Dew we sell:
Face Reality Hydrabalance - hydrating and soothing

Epicutis Lipid Serum - hydrating and a potent anti-inflammatory

Hydrinity Restorative HA - the healing hydrator and our #1 product at Dew!

Hydrinity Renewing HA - the anti-aging hydrator

In order for your barrier to have the hydration it needs, a hydrator is essential! All of those listed are linked in this post

One of the greatest at-home substitutes for Botox and getting rid of fine lines, wrinkles and/or lymphatic puffiness is Gua sha!

Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing method in which using a smooth edge tool, like the ones pictured above, raises blood to the surface and promotes overall circulation, decreases tension, helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and increases lymphatic drainage.

You can even use a more rigid Gua Sha on the scalp to stimulate hair growth!

These are inexpensive on Amazon and they are great to use daily when doing your skincare routine 🫶
