How’s your skin feeling? Cool as a cucumber 🥒

How’s your skin feeling? Cool as a cucumber 🥒💧 or more like a hot tamale 🌶🔥?⁣
⁣
The summer months call for increased hydration (and breathable moisturizers to seal in that hydration) to combat the heat and keep our skin hydrated, healthy, and not feeling like a fiery hot tamale 🥵!⁣
⁣
If your skin often feels worse after moisturizing, has a hard time staying cool, or could use a mega dose of healing antioxidants (without a thick layer of cream), our naturally lightweight cucumber and aloe-infused Cucumber Refresh is like a tall cold glass of lemonade on a hot, humid day… but for your skin 😎!⁣
⁣
🥒 Cucumber Refresh is back for a limited time (in fact, the perfect time as the hot, humid months of summer are upon us) and can be found at groundedsage.com while quantities last!⁣

After a decade and a half of successfully running

After a decade and a half of successfully running my own small business (handmade e-comm), I'm ready to step into a new role as a freelance marketing strategist and website designer!⁣
⁣
I've been itching for a new way to blend my background in fine art, psychology, and business with my real-world experience as a successful heart-led entrepreneur. Outside of my passion for helping animals, I find myself deeply dedicated to helping other business-for-good folks find their footing.⁣

🦠 Many think bacteria are the root cause of acn

🦠 Many think bacteria are the root cause of acne and focus their acne treatments on controlling "acne-causing bacteria." ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🦠 While keeping bacteria under control can help, concentrating our efforts here is like trying to stop a rock from rolling down a hill. It's much easier to move the rock away from the cliff's edge rather than try to stop it in mid-tumble!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🦠 Studies have shown that the very start of a blemish doesn't contain bacteria at all! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
So, how does acne start if bacteria aren't the root cause of acne? ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The answer: ⁣⁣
🧨 Damage to our sebum (our skin's natural oils).⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Say what?⁣⁣
→ Our oil (sebum) is vulnerable to oxidative damage.⁣⁣
→ When oxidative damage happens, the fatty acid squalene (a key component of sebum) forms a highly pore-clogging substance called squalene peroxide.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Still with me?⁣⁣
→ The squalene peroxide produced due to oxidative damage blocks your pores.⁣⁣
→ These blocks trap a mix of bacteria, dead skin cells, hardened oil, debris, etc., inside your pores.⁣⁣
→ So the bacteria gets trapped in your pores, but it wasn't the reason your pores got clogged in the first place!⁣⁣
→ The damaged oil creates clogs in your pores.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
How do we stop oxidative damage to our sebum?⁣⁣
→ We stop oxidative damage by looking at what creates the conditions for sebum to get damaged in the first place!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
For that, we need to look at⁣⁣
→ Hormone imbalances⁣⁣
→ Inflammation inside & out⁣⁣
→ Sources of topical damage⁣⁣
⁣⁣
... which is precisely what we dive into in our free digital "holistic healing workbook." Grab it for free in the online shop to check out all the details.
