Yaz (birth control) - Correct Answers -Ethinyl estradiol + Drospirenone
Not on the safe list because of law suits agAinst it for blood clots. The progesterone it
contains is dropirenone which seems to be ok no matter how much estrogen it is paired
with .
Yaz - Correct Answers -Yaz was formulated to help acne by putting a form of
sprionolactone in it.
Androgen and insulin - Correct Answers -Are the main two hormones when it comes to
acne.
Androgens (testosterone) - Correct Answers -They consist of precursorsDHEA and
androstenedione which convert to testosterone. Then, with the help of an enzyme called
5-alpha redux tase, testosterone is converted into a much more potent hormone called
dihydrotestosterone.
dihydrostestosterone (DHT) - Correct Answers -DHT stimulates keratin and sebum
production that affec the acne-prone pore. And, the enzyme, 5-alpha redux tase, is also
responsible for increasing sensitivity to testosterone. It also happens to be much more
active in the acne-prone.
Birth control pills - Correct Answers -The androgen dominant pills will fill a woman's
body with more testosterone, causing more sebum production and acne flare ups.
Estrogen dominant pills shut down hormone production within the ovaries. Since half of
a woman's testosterone is produced in the ovaries, sebum production will be reduced
and acne breakouts..
,Highter fritz skin clients - Correct Answers -Higher fritz clients should always start with
acne med 2.5%. Acne med 5% to spot treat. Acne med can cause discoloration in
higher Fritz.
Dairy - Correct Answers -Milk raises insulin levels just as much as white bread does. It
is the way protein in the milk, not the lactose - milk sugar, that is responsible.
whey protein - Correct Answers -Is found in milk. Whey proteins contain a powerful
growth factor called betacellulin. This growth factor binds to special receptors on human
skin cells called epidermal growth factor receptors(EGFRs), which tell Skin follicles to
multiply and to make more sebum.
DIM supplement - Correct Answers -Recommended if you have estrogen dominance
and dosage is tricky.
Good for hormonal acne.
Inflamed protocol to non inflamed - Correct Answers -Go slow when transitioning from
IF to NI . Always start them using the scrub 2 x day a couple of times a week. If after 2
weeks they have not broken out move then to every night. After they have been using
the scrub at night for 2 weeks and they haven't broken out , start them on glycolic and
vitamin A every other night.
Celluma vs regular light bulb - Correct Answers -I think the light we use to illuminate a
room is broad spectrum (uses a wide bandwidth of wavelengths to create white light),
whereas the therapeutic light of celluma is narrowed down to single wavelengths.
I've seen something about cold white light and blue screen light having a degenerative
effect, can't remember exactly where, it was a scientist on YouTube. Not sure how legit
a youtube scientist is lol.
Accutane is an analog of which vitamin? - Correct Answers -
Spironolactone (Aldactone) - Correct Answers -Spiro isn't technically an antibiotic. It's
an anti androgen and diuretic. When working on some one who is taking Spiro, focus on
a hydrating treatment because Spiro is a diuretic and they're going to be very dry.
Peels - Correct Answers -Strenuous physical activity after the peel, like running,
volleyball, something where you sweat, causes heating up the body internally and can
create a histamine reaction post peel. Even the day after the peel, it can occur.
Cortisol - Correct Answers -Stress Causes the body to release the hormone cortisol
which triggers an immune response. Cortisol also breaks down collagen, a structural
proteins essential for plump and youthful skin.
,Rosacea and sunscreen - Correct Answers -Clients with rosacea should not use a
chemical sunscreen, only physical. Chemical sunscreens absorb heat, which is no good
for rosacea, physical sunscreens block heat.
Masks - Correct Answers -I am not a huge fan of masks for clearing acne. They aren't
going to make a significant difference in the clearing process. Daily exfoliation is the key
to clear skin. Face reality's masks are acne safe but they won't clear your skin alone.
Scrubs - Correct Answers -Scrubs for non-inflamed acne. If you are breaking out - with
red skin, with white heads and your breakouts hurt. Do not use scrubs.
P acne bacteria - Correct Answers -P acne bacteria proliferates and replicates every
two weeks.
Stress - Correct Answers -Chronic, continual stress is a trigger for acne. Chronic stress
increases levels of stress related hormones such as cortisol which sends the sebaceous
oil glands into overdrive, which mixes with dead skin cells and breakout causing
bacteria.
Which product to strengthen? - Correct Answers -
benzoyl peroxide - Correct Answers -One of BPO's Function is to soften plugs and stop
the Keratinocytes from sticking together, which is a hallmark of non-inflamed.
3 components of acne - Correct Answers -Dead skin cells, sebum and bacteria
3 components of acne and benzoyl peroxide - Correct Answers -Benzyl peroxide does
something for the three components of acne - dead skin cells, sebum and bacteria. It is
drying so it helps with the excess sebum and it is a peroxide and the bacteria's are
anaerobic so they hate all the extra oxygen. But the real magic is it makes the dead skin
cells not sticky so the plugs don't form in the first place. You use AcneMed all over to
prevent breakouts from having a chance to form, but you spot treat with it to get the
other wonders going on existing lesions.
Stress - Correct Answers -Stress sets off hormones, such as testosterone, that cause
acne breakouts. So make time to wind down and relax. Find a hobby. Less stress
increases oxygen flow and stabilizes hormones, minimizing flareups as a result.
Pores - Correct Answers -Pores can't open and close.
Close: tighten/ non penetrating
Open= loose/pliable
Milia - Correct Answers -The root cause of Milia is lack of free water in the skin.
Exfoliation does not seem to be the answer. Use ageless serum or some kind of
hyaluronic acid serumtwice a day and it is safe enough to use up to the lash line. Takes
, about two months, give or take for the Milia to start to soften and be reabsorbed.
Increase water consumption as well.
RX Antibiotics - Correct Answers -Oral antibiotics only suppress the problem, not control
it. Antibiotics in general disturb the gut flora significantly, and have been shown to
increase the rate of illness particularly in Acne Client's (long-term, low dose). Disturbing
the gut flora can have a major impact on inflammation, which can intern have a major
impact on skin.
Acne med - Correct Answers -Strengthen acne med for inflammation flare ups
Antibiotics - Correct Answers -
Sudden breakout - Correct Answers -The reason it happens more quickly is because a
sudden rush of sebum into a pore,, or a pore irritant such as iodine in food, or a pore
irritant in a cosmetic, will cause inflammation of the pore lining. This in turn causes
swelling, and redness. If the swelling stays around for a few days without being calmed
down, normal oil and dead skin cells start to build up andaccumulate inside the pore
creating a larger comedones. If the swelling and clogging is enough to prevent entry of
oxygen, the acne bacteria that resides deep in the poor will now have a chance to
thrive, and a pustule will form. But the immediate problem is inflammation caused by
rushes of oil brought on by normal changes triggered by foods that bring on male
hormone releases, or by cosmetic irritants. This will especially be true of a junk food
binge, since chances are extremely high that someone who would binge like this in the
first place has some degree of insulin resistance, which means a hormonal fluctuation
will take place that results in sudden triggering of sebaceous gland activity.
Acne graduate - Correct Answers -I am declaring you and Acne program graduate
because we have achieved your skin goals! You'll now enter into maintenance mode,
which means we'll begin to space treatments out from every two weeks to four weeks.
Eventually the goal is to space treatments out quarterly. You'll still remain on your
product routine as it is now, but overtime will make minor adjustments to ensure we are
maintaining clear and healthy skin long term!
Acne med maintenance - Correct Answers -Once Client is clear keep their routine the
exact same for the first 3 to 6 months on maintenance mode. Around the six month
mark of maintenance, I may change their serum percentage or cleanser depending on
where their skin is at. Eventually the goal is to remove acne med from their routine
because it's not designed for long term use, but that I don't Changing until six months to
one year of them maintaining clear skin.
milk and dairy products - Correct Answers -Cows milk contains hormones that can react
with the testosterone in your own body, causing an increase in oil production which can
clog pores
