CHEMICAL BURN
You’ve been combatting acne with high doses of benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid all summer – it’s even helped your skin stay matte, but as we move into cooler temperatures, how do you avoid the tightness, cracking and burning of harsh acne meds? 
This light-up mask uses specific wavelengths of red and blue light to both treat and prevent acne. Red light reduces inflammation, heals breakouts, and evens skin tone (great for post-summer), while blue light kills acne-causing bacteria (P. Acnes), reducing current acne and preventing future breakouts. The acne fighting light is uniformly distributed over the face. Clinical results proved it left skin clearer, smoother, and less oily with fewer blemishes.

SUNBURNED SCALP
While you think you might not have gotten much sun this summer, your scalp tells a different story. We slather a sun protectant on every inch of our exposed body, but often neglect the scalp. Your day-to-day commute and walk to lunch has been enough to toast up your scalp, plug up your hair follicles and keep you from healthy hair growth.

This scalp treatment and stimulator is an intensive scalp exfoliator that removes dead skin cells, counteracting the build up of flaky skin and contains powerful exfoliating and moisturizing agents to minimize flaking and promote overall scalp health. It creates a natural defense against DHT build-up, excess sebum, and other residues known to clog follicles, resulting in excess hair loss and thinning. The formula also helps to soothe dry, tight scalp without weighing hair down.
