Here’s some help for inflammatory skin and scalp conditions…

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

When we created our line of hair care products, we had our acne patients in mind.  However, Kairos Acne Care Solutions has shown to be effective against other inflammatory disease processes.  Seborrheic Dermatitis is a term used for an abundance of inflammatory skin conditions.  Since Kairos’ active ingredient is Salicylic Acid, it has been effective in reducing some of the symptoms of these conditions.  Patients with Rosacea, for example, have noticed a dramatic improvement of the redness on their cheeks, nose and chin after using Kairos.  Customers with irritated areas of unknown origin on their scalp have also noticed improvement.  Even customers with flaky scalp have benefited from Kairos because of its exfoliating properties. Kairos was built to fight against acne and other inflammatory diseases of the scalp and skin.  The anti-inflammatory botanicals are helpful in soothing irritated scalp and skin along with the Sal Acid.  Guys who use the skin and scalp treatment on their “razor rash” have also found it to be therapeutic in reducing those nagging little bumps.  So, Kairos isn’t just for acne!  It is a multipurpose product with amazing hidden benefits!

Acne Worse? Your Hair Care Products May be to Blame!

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

A lot of people who suffer from acne have tried everything to get clear skin. Facial cleansers, special masks, topical treatments, diet — you name it. But what is often completely forgotten about is something that seems so obvious once it’s mentioned: hair care products. If you have acne, your hair care products may be to blame.
How Hair Care Products Can Cause Acne
Hair care products can cause acne by exacerbating overproduction by the sebaceous glands. This actually triggers a further imbalance — and it can clog pores, which contributes to the creation of new acne, or even inflammation of existing breakouts. It is possible for acne breakouts to be triggered — or worsened — on the neck, jaw line, chest, back, ears and the entire face.
Since acne is caused by the accumulation of excess skin cells, bacteria and sebum, which is the oil produced by the body, it can appear in many different forms. Some forms are whiteheads, blackheads and cystic acne.
Prevent Acne With Kairos Clarifying Complexion-Clearing Shampoo
Stop letting your hair care products contribute to your acne. Get Kairos Clear — the first hair care product line developed to treat and prevent acne. A medicated formula, this shampoo combats acne-causing factors linked to hair and hair products.

A Testimony from a Kairos fan…

I went to the Dermatologist for three months and tried every topical and acne wash imaginable.  I even took antibiotics for a while.  My sister had used Kairos for back acne and had great results and within days so I decided it was worth a try.  After using Kairos for just one week the acne on my cheeks that had haunted me for three months was gone!  I highly recommend Kairos for all acne sufferers, it works wonders!

Tired of washing your hair everday? Here’s a solution…

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010

Many people find that in the summertime, when the weather is hot and sticky, their hair tends to get oily faster than usual.  Washing your hair everyday can get old, especially when you have to take time to style it, too!  If you can dry up the oil on your scalp, you won’t need to wash your hair as often.  The creators of Kairos Acne Care Solutions have developed a skin care line that not only helps treat and prevent acne, but also allows for more days between shampoos because it keeps the scalp and skin from producing too much oil.  They offer a special “Pore-Perfecting, Oil- Reducing Scalp Treatment.”   During the hot summer months, or just for those with very oily hair, it keeps the hair looking cleaner longer.

Here’s how the scalp treatment works.  With the pointed tip applicator, squirt lines of the product in three or four rows and then massage into your scalp.  Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing.  There is no need to pull it through the hair, just treat the scalp.   Remember, reducing the oil on your scalp makes your face less oily, too.  So if you suffer from midday oiliness on your face, the Kairos Oil Reducing – Pore Perfecting Treatment may be just what you so that the only shine on your face throughout the day is your beautiful smile!

Get rid of acne before summer!

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

In recent years, “bacne” has become a common and acceptable word that refers to the irritating, unsightly and often embarrassing acne that occurs on the back.  Although it hasn’t made it into Webster’s, Wikipedia has welcomed the term into its dictionary.  Bacne isn’t usually a troublesome issue for most people during the cool autumn and cold winter months when clothing can easily conceal the problem.  However, as spring and summer approach, those pesky bumps do become irksome when you want to wear your brand new bathing suit or adorable, new little tees.  And, why is it, that the breakouts always seem to show up right above the line of your favorite summer shirt?  Well, instead of buying new shirts to conceal those uncooperative blemishes, let’s get down to the basics of WHY you’re getting them and HOW to avoid it!  As most of you know already, hair care products are a huge culprit to acne breakouts on the back.  Especially for girls with longer hair.  In our before and afters, you can actually tell where the girl’s hair ends… it’s where her acne ends! http://www.kairosclear.com/before-and-after/ For guys who wear gel or hair glue, this can be a real problem for the neck and back as the product drips down in the sweat throughout the day. Even rolling around on your pillow night after night, if you don’t wash the products out before you go to sleep, can be a bacne culprit.
As summer approaches and the weather heats up, for most it means more sweating. The oils that are on your hair and scalp will travel downward! Also, if you are putting a ton of oils on your head and hair in your haircare products, you will subsequently have an oilier face, neck, back and chest where blemishes will thrive. (your scalp and face are connected, remember?  the skin is one big organ… the largest one, as a matter of fact!)   Obviously, showering shortly after exercise or being out in the hot weather is essential, but also using Kairos Acne Care Solutions offers an easy way to avoid blemishes all together! When you use Kairos and sweat, acne-fighting and noncomedogenic ingredients travel downward!  Those ingredients actually treat and prevent bacne rather than cause it. Kairos offers a win-win solution in the fight against bacne!

Bacne… not a good look for summer!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Bacne and swimsuits just don’t go together.  For guys, bacne can ruin those traps you worked so hard to perfect at the gym all year long.  For girls, one bacne can ruin that adorable bathing suit that cost you your entire paycheck!  Here are some tips from the experts on how to keep that bacne at bay…

1.  Never use a loofa or scrub brush on your back.  This can spread bacteria which can make your acne worse.

2.  When using an acne wash on your back, make sure it is a little stronger than the wash you use on your face. It takes a higher strength medication to penetrate the skin on the back.

3.  When choosing hair care products for the summer, make sure you choose products that are low in oils.  Kairos Acne Care Solutions for the hair offers safe shampoo and conditioner.  Too much oil on the scalp and hair can migrate to the back and surrounding skin areas.  If you use mousse, gel or hair sprays, make sure you use Kairos styling products that have also been created especially for acne sufferers.

4.  Along those same “hair” lines, if you have long hair, keep it up off your back and shoulders during hot weather.

5.  Keep your pillowcase clean and change it more often, especially if you are using oily hair care products.

6.  Use sunblock when you are out in the sun, and make sure it is oil-free!

Have fun in the sun this summer and use these tips to beat bacne before it starts!

Acne hurts inside and out!

Friday, May 7th, 2010

Acne sufferers have one thing in common. Their acne hurts.  Only some of them suffer the physical pain, but it’s safe to say that mostly all of them suffer some emotional pain associated with their acne.  I had a patient once tell me that having acne was like being forced to wear an ugly outfit everyday.  For some reason, that stuck with me.  I guess it was my aha! moment that acne isn’t something to be taken lightly and many people are not able to be the best they can be because of it.  Most people who don’t suffer from acne have never taken the time to consider how painful and embarrassing it can be.  Having worked for many years in a super busy acne clinic with many severe cases of acne, it became crystal clear that it is a disease that can damage the self-esteem by making you feel self conscious and not able to get out there and do what you want to do.  I want nothing more than to help you get clear and stay clear!  People who don’t know that their hair products are contributing to their acne are getting pimples (and maybe even scarring from those pimples) that they never should have had in the first place!  It is our goal to make sure that everyone knows that hair care products can make your acne worse and also to make sure that everyone knows they now have an alternative to traditional hair care products.  For more on acne and acne prevention go to www.kairosclear.com and get clear skin now!
