Skin Repairing
Ageing Plus Acne and Scarring
So, you can trust
this info, allow me to fill you in on my experience.
Since you need to trust this information, allow me to share
my background. I began as a hairdresser with a passion for trichology. I
studied skin biology and qualified in beauty therapy. I then completed four
years of study in clinical aromatherapy and later owned and operated a beauty
school within my salon. I have over 60 years' experience in skin and scalp
health. My passion is organic products. I am the founder of Karoleen Keys and
the Consulting Aromatherapy Organic Skincare range.
Acne is driven by oil, clogged pores, bacteria,
inflammation, and sometimes hormonal or dietary factors. Scars form when an
inflamed lesion damages the skin’s collagen or when healing is disrupted by
picking, squeezing, or scratching. Never pick or squeeze spots because doing so
increases inflammation and the risk of permanent scarring.
High Frequency Therapy
High-frequency therapy uses a gently oscillating electrical
current to produce localized warming and oxygenation at the skin surface. It
can reduce surface bacteria, improve circulation, encourage lymphatic drainage,
and enhance product absorption. Regular sessions can help reduce acne activity,
assist in clearing blackheads, and improve skin texture. The downside is:- this
is not a treatment for home skin repairs.
- Key
benefits: germicidal action; improved circulation; lymphatic drainage;
product penetration; reduced pore congestion.
- Practical notes:
professional devices and trained applications are safest. Home devices
exist but require correct settings and technique. Do not use high
frequency if you have a pacemaker, epilepsy, metal implants near the
treatment area, or during pregnancy. Stop immediately if you feel pain or
significant irritation.
Infrared
Lamp Treatments
These lamps on eBay
cost about $50AU and are suitable for skin and body repairs at home.
Skin Benefits
Stimulates Collagen and Elastin: The heat
from infrared penetrates the skin, activating fibroblasts to produce more
collagen and elastin, which helps to improve skin firmness and elasticity.
Reduces Signs of Aging: Increased collagen
production and better circulation can reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and other
signs of aging, leading to a more youthful complexion
.
Enhances Skin Health: Improved blood flow delivers more oxygen and nutrients to skin
cells, promoting cell regeneration and repair for a healthier complexion.
Speeds Up Wound
Healing: Near-infrared light can accelerate the healing process for skin
lesions and wounds.
Reduces Acne Scars: By promoting cellular
regeneration and improving skin texture, it can help minimize the appearance of
acne scars.
Body Benefits
Pain and Inflammation Relief: Infrared
therapy can help alleviate pain and reduce inflammation in muscles and joints.
Improved Circulation: The therapy enhances
blood flow, which helps deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.
Accelerated Healing: Infrared light
promotes cellular regeneration and DNA repair, speeding up the healing of
injuries.
Detoxification: Infrared energy can help
break up toxins stored in fat cells, facilitating their release from the body.
Support for Weight Management: By releasing
toxins from fat cells, infrared therapy can support healthy weight management.
Muscle Relaxation: It can effectively relax
sore muscles.
Natural Organic Skincare
and Nutrition
Natural approaches can support
clearer skin when combined with consistent skincare and healthy habits. https://organicperfumes.com.au/skincare
- Internal support: a balanced diet, adequate
sleep, hydration, and nutrients that support skin repair are important.
Some people include blackstrap molasses as a nightly supplement for
trace minerals; take one tablespoon in warm water as the last intake
before bed if you tolerate the taste.
- Topical natural options: gentle cleansing,
non-comedogenic moisturizers, sun protection, and targeted natural actives
such as diluted tea tree oil, calendula, or chamomile can be soothing.
Always patch test new topical ingredients on the inner forearm first and
dilute essential oils safely (typical facial dilution 0.5–2% depending on
the oil and skin sensitivity).
- Psoriasis support: chamomile and cajuput are
frequently used historically to soothe inflamed plaques; use them in
dilute, properly formulated preparations.
Simple Daily Plan to Start Today
- Cleanse twice daily with a gentle,
pH-balanced cleanser.
- Avoid picking and use clean hands when
touching your face.
- Spot treat active lesions with an
appropriate product; for natural options use diluted tea tree or
sulfur-based topical products if tolerated.
- Weekly: gentle chemical or physical
exfoliation once per week to reduce pore congestion; avoid
over-exfoliating.
- Consider high frequency once weekly with a
trained professional or carefully at-home following device safety
instructions.
- Consider an infrared lamp for home use.
- Nutrition and sleep: prioritize whole foods,
reduce excess refined sugar, stay hydrated, and aim for consistent sleep.
- Sun protection: daily broad-spectrum SPF to
prevent pigmentation and protect healing skin.

Quick DIY Recipes and Notes

blackstrap molasses in 1/2 cup warm water, sip as the last thing before

mayonnaise; add 4 tbsp turmeric powder and 1 tsp black pepper; eat as a
dip with vegetables or rice crackers.
- Topical turmeric mask: 1 tsp turmeric + 1
tbsp plain yoghurt + 1 tsp honey; apply 10 minutes, rinse gently; use once
weekly and be aware turmeric can stain skin and fabrics.
- Gentle toner: 1 part witch hazel
(alcohol-free) + 2 parts distilled water; apply lightly after cleansing.

Final Practical Reminder
Consistent, gentle care plus sensible lifestyle changes
produce the best long-term results for acne and scarring. Use professional help
for severe, persistent, or rapidly worsening acne, severe scarring, or if you
have underlying health concerns. For topical or internal remedies, prioritize
safety: patch test, dilute essential oils, follow device contraindications, and
stop any treatment that causes marked irritation.
