Acne, Hive Salve (small size)
Acne is the most common skin disorder in the United States, so if you have acne you’re
not alone: 40 to 50 million Americans have acne. Acne is a disorder resulting from the action of hormones and other substances
on the skin’s oil glands (sebaceous glands) and hair follicles. These factors lead to plugged pores and outbreaks of
lesions commonly called pimples, or blemishes. Acne lesions usually occur on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders. Although
acne is usually not a serious health threat, it can be a source of significant emotional distress. Acne can also lead to permanent
scarring.
Over–the-counter and prescription strength acne
treatments have drying agents which further irritate the skin. Yes, Dryness encourages skin breaks and potentiates secondary
infection to these newly irritated areas. Scarring may occur. The skin problem persists and spreads from one area to another.
Damage done to the skin at the cellular level from this drying process is irreversible and will present later as the skin
ages as enlarged pores, sagging and discolorations.
Our salve is gentle yet effective in healing these skin
conditions. The organic honey and herbs have natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and healing properties. The natural oils
and organic honey in this salve establish a moist, nutrient rich environment at the infection site to facilitate repair
without damage at the cellular level and discourage secondary infection. Skin which is properly moisturized and allowed
to heal without complications is less likely to scar. With our “Bee Clear” salve and its antioxidant quality
skin remains in a healthier state even during the healing process. You can use our salve safely on body areas with acne, covered
by clothing or exposed to air, our salve will not stain.
