Clear Skin Starts Here: Celebrating Acne Awareness Month atHarmony Wellness
June marks Acne Awareness Month, and at Harmony Wellness in Eau Claire, Wisconsin,
we’re proud to be your trusted partner in achieving clearer, healthier skin. Whether you're
struggling with hormonal breakouts, teen acne, or persistent adult flare-ups, our expert team is
here to help you take control—with results-driven treatments and compassionate care.
That’s why we’re breaking down the facts about acne—what causes it, how to treat it, and why a
personalized approach is key to real, long-term results.
Understanding Acne: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Treat It Effectively
Acne is one of the most common skin concerns in the world—yet it’s also one of the most
misunderstood. Whether you're dealing with blackheads, cystic breakouts, or persistent adult
acne, knowing what’s really happening beneath the surface of your skin is the first step toward lasting clarity.
At Harmony Wellness, we’re passionate about helping clients uncover the root causes of their
breakouts and guiding them toward clear, healthy skin—without the confusion or guesswork.
What Is Acne?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and
bacteria. It often appears as:
● Whiteheads or blackheads (non-inflammatory acne)
● Papules, pustules, nodules, or cysts (inflammatory acne)
While breakouts commonly occur on the face, acne can also affect the back, chest, shoulders,
and jawline.
What Causes Acne?
Acne isn’t caused by just one factor. In fact, it’s usually a combination of internal and external
triggers:
● Hormones: Fluctuations due to puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or stress
● Bacteria:(C. acnes): Naturally occurring but problematic when trapped in pores
● Excess Sebum: Overproduction of oil contributes to clogged follicles
● Genetics: Family: history can increase your likelihood of developing acne
● Lifestyle Factors: Diet, sleep, skincare habits, stress, and even makeup use
Why Personalized Treatment Matters
At Harmony Wellness, we don't guess—we assess, plan, and personalize. Every client
struggling with acne receives a customized acne treatment plan designed around your skin
type, breakout pattern, lifestyle, and goals. During your initial consultation, we take the time to
evaluate:
● Your skin's current condition
● Possible triggers (hormonal, environmental, product-related)
● Lifestyle factors and skincare routine
● Any history of scarring or pigmentation
From there, we build a plan just for you—choosing from our advanced menu of facials,
professional treatments, and supportive home care products. And we adapt your plan as your skin evolves.
Whether your acne is mild or more severe, our goal is to help you achieve long-term results
through the right combination of in-office care and home maintenance.
Acne-Safe Makeup That Supports Healing
Think makeup has to make acne worse? Think again. We proudly offer Jane Iredale, a
mineral-based, non-comedogenic makeup line that provides natural coverage without clogging
pores or irritating sensitive skin. It’s one of our favorite tools to help you look and feel your
best—even during treatment.
When to See a Professional
If you’ve been battling acne for months (or even years) without results, it’s time to stop
guessing. Seeing a licensed professional can help you avoid skin damage, scarring, and the
emotional toll of chronic breakouts.
Whether you're a teen, adult, or someone experiencing hormonal or cystic acne, we’re here to
help with a thoughtful, proven approach. Let’s Build Your Clear Skin Plan—Together
