Ask the Expert - How do I manage my breakouts?!

Welcome to the third edition of our Ask the Expert series, where your most pressing skin related questions and problems are solved by our resident experts!


This question is answered by our resident skincare guru, Sarah Burns, glotherapeutics creator and Product Manager. To learn more about Sarah click here.






Acne is a condition that affects more people than you might imagine. Here are the stats:
• 40 million suffer from acne between the ages of 12-24
• 20% of adults have acne
• 85% will experience some type of breakouts
• 1 out of 16 people will have acne

There are 4 major steps to control and prevent breakouts.
1. Control oil production
2. Unplug the compaction
3. Rid of bacteria
4. Reduce inflammation

Breakouts typically have a lifespan of 2-4 weeks. The start of a regimen will treat existing, superficial lesions then move into preventing breakouts. A continued program will address the root of the problem and make the corrections before they are visible on the skin. Maintain a program for at least 8 weeks to see true results.

Coming soon...the launch of 6 NEW glotherapeutics products for acneic skin! Stay tuned for details!

Hi,
Why do you use squirrel hair for you brushes? How has the hair been collected? I was about to purchase several brushes from Glo online, but this made me stop. I do not want to support animal cruelty.

Look forward to hearing from you.
