Treating acne is critical – and not just to avoid the emotional toll and scarring it can create. 

Acne, which arises when hair follicles (pores) become clogged, can also be painful, especially when tender bumps and lumps form under the skin.  

Avoiding pimples and acne is a great place to start and that means taking care of your skin, the largest organ in the human body. If acne does crop up or you already know you’re acne-prone, keeping your skin healthy and supporting it to heal faster is even more crucial.  

Reducing the toxic load we’re placing on our bodies is central to great looking skin and that means choosing skincare products (including makeup) free from chemicals, synthetic fragrances and fillers. Natural skincare is also important so as not to upset the delicate hormone balance required in your body for optimal healthy, glowing skin. 

Another key factor is to choose products that won’t clog your pores. Beeswax, which helps form a protective barrier over the skin and has been used since ancient times, is naturally non-comedogenic, so it won’t clog pores or cause irritation, ideal for acne-prone skin. 

The Kakadu Plum superfruit is also non-comedogenic. On top of this, it has anti-inflammatory properties, making it great for reducing skin redness, and is the world’s richest known source of natural vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps build collagen, a protein needed for skin repair, reduces pigmentation and supports scarring to heal. Furthermore, Kakadu Plum has anti-bacterial properties, which is important because pimples and acne can be caused by bacteria on the skin. 

In Awe’s natural products are packed with beeswax and Kakadu Plum extract to support the body’s natural healing processes, and nourish and calm inflamed, irritated skin.
