Serious skincare for adult acne
March 18, 2007 | 12:00am
Just when you thought you were over the dark ages of youthful acne, those darned zits just keep coming back.
Adult acne affects 25 percent of all adult men and 50 percent of adult women at some time in their 30s, 40s and beyond.
Although the causes of adult acne are unknown, never fear because Mario Badescu Skincare is here.
In New York City, the name Mario Badescu has been synonymous with personalized, all-natural skincare treatments and products for more than 40 years.
Located at 350 East 52nd Street, the Mario Badescu space has grown from a small facility into a 36-room salon and day spa trusted by very high-profile celebrities who realize the importance of great skin.
Since 1967, Romanian-born Mario Badescu has been treating his loyal following of clients with a vast knowledge of Old World skincare techniques.
Because of a high demand to use the products at home, Badescu came up with a line of premium products that work together to gently cleanse and rejuvenate the skin while preventing damage from pollution, aging, and harsh climate conditions.
Badescu uses only fresh fruits, botanicals and other natural ingredients to create more than 200 products for all skin types.
This includes cleansers, toners, moisturizers, exfoliants, and treatments.
The first step in setting up an effective skincare regimen is to determine what skin type you have. Here are the basic types:
• Combination skin. Your skin is oily in some areas and dry in others. This is the most common skin type. Typically, areas around cheeks, eyes and neck are dry, while the "T" zone (the area across the forehead, down the nose to chin) is oily. Because each area has its own needs, combination skin is the most difficult to care for and requires a proper selection of skin products.
• Oily skin. Your skin is prone to clogged pores, blackheads and blemishes. Oil glands over-secrete oil, making skin rough, shiny and blotchy. The plus side is, surface oil traps moisture in, making skin less prone to lines and wrinkles.
• Dry skin. Skin is thin and flaky with nearly invisible pores. Because oil glands don’t produce enough to lubricate skin, dry skin is commonly irritated and prone to fine lines and wrinkles, even at a young age. Because of this, it is necessary to choose products that moisturize and hydrate the skin.
• Sensitive skin. Can have any or a combination of the following characteristics: easily irritated, red, rashy, blotchy, thin-skinned, or couperose (broken capillaries). Generally speaking, sensitive skin requires gentle care and specially formulated products containing aloe, chamomile, keratoplast and other soothing ingredients.
Sensitive skin can fall into oily, dry, problem or combination categories.
• Problem skin. Excessively oily and prone to pimples, blackheads and adult acne. Because it commonly breaks out, this skin type needs products to deep-clean and dry up problem areas without irritating skin.
Now there’s no need to fly to New York to experience the quality of Mario Badescu skincare enjoyed by Hollywood stars, as Rustan’s has brought Badescu’s anti-acne line to Essenses.
I love this thick, smooth, sweet-smelling facial cleanser. It’s designed to soothe acne-irritated skin while cleaning clogged pores. It contains aloe vera gel and chamomile extract to repair, soften and heal inflamed skin, while thyme extract and salicylic acid work together to disinfect and exfoliate. Also formulated with hyaluronic acid to help maintain skin’s own natural moisture. (P945)
Contains a unique blend of natural ingredients that will keep acne eruptions at bay. Thyme extract incorporates antibacterial and antiseptic properties, while salicylic acid helps dissolve dead skin cells and reduce pore-clogging debris, improving the look and feel of your skin. (P1,545)
Buffering lotion (for combination and oily skin)
Dries and heals large acne-affected areas with a potent buffering lotion. (P1,045)
Drying cream (for combination and oily skin)
Dries and conceals under-surface blemishes with an extremely effective aloe-rich drying cream. (P595)
Drying lotion (for all skin types)
Mario Badescu’s top-selling product. Stings upon application, but this renowned drying lotion made from a blend of calamine and salicylic acid clears up whiteheads overnight to help prevent spreading and scarring. (P1,045)
Healing cream (for all skin types)
Treat blemished, irritated skin and prevent future scarring with this gentle cream specially formulated for breakouts and skin problems. (P745)
Silver powder (for all skin types)
This silver powder helps reduce blackheads by ridding the nose and chin areas of pore-clogging dirt and oils. (P745)
Special healing powder
Heals and conceals red, irritated, or oily areas with a specially formulated sulfur-based healing powder that absorbs excess oil and reduces redness and irritation caused by breakouts. (P595)
Mario Badescu’s anti-acne line is available at Rustan’s Essenses Makati, Shangri-La Plaza, Alabang and Robinsons Place.
