Principle Of Skin Health Restoration
Sebum Control
Excess sebum is an inflammatory substance harmful to skin health. Controlling sebum is essential to prevent + treat many skin conditions, and to optimize the effectiveness of your overall protocol.
Sebum is a waxy, oily mixture produced by sebocyte cells in skin's sebaceous glands, whose activity is influenced by androgen hormones. While sebum plays a protective role against water loss + pathogenic invasion, excess sebum is detrimental to skin.
In addition to causing blemishes + large pores, over production of sebum contributes to inflammatory skin diseases including rosacea, melasma and seborrheic dermatitis.
Further, its waxy nature can inhibit the penetration + efficacy of corrective treatments. Minimizing sebum maximizes results of all skin restoration protocols.
