Skin Repairing: Updated November 2025 with Zinc as my go-to sunscreen

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

Infrared Lamp Treatments
Affordable and effective — good infrared lamps on eBay start from $50 AUD, ideal for skin rejuvenation and body repair at home. I’ve used infrared therapy since the 1940s — my Danish grandmother even gifted my parents an infrared lamp for their wedding. It’s been a trusted healing tool in our family ever since.  I now have a large panel with red lights added to the panel for my skin and a pain free experience each day for my osteoarthritis. 

 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. Now at age 78 I use my infrared panel with red light in the panel daily.

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.

1. Avoid picking and use clean hands when touching your face.
2. Spot treat active lesions with an appropriate product; for natural options, use diluted Tea Tree Essential Oil diluted in Olive oil or sulphur-based topical products if tolerated. Bear in mind, Tea Tree Oil is very drying and sulphur-based topical products need your Doctor or Aromatherapists guidance.
3. Weekly: gentle chemical or physical exfoliation once per week to reduce pore congestion; avoid over-exfoliating.
4. Consider high frequency once weekly with a trained professional or carefully at-home following device safety instructions.
5. Consider an infrared lamp for home use.
6. Nutrition and sleep: prioritise whole foods, reduce excess refined sugar, stay hydrated, and aim for consistent sleep.
7. Sun protection: daily broad-spectrum SPF to prevent pigmentation and protect healing skin. I have always used Zinc as my sunscreen while surfing, water-skiing, and snow-skiing. At age 78, I can safely say Zinc works best. Researchers have found that zinc oxide nanoparticles barely penetrate the epidermis, the top layer of the skin, which would make it difficult to reach the bloodstream.

Quick DIY Recipes and Notes

 

• Blackstrap molasses drink: 1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses in 1/2 cup warm water, sip as the last thing before bed.
• Dietary turmeric-egg mix (food, not topical): 4–6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and mashed; mix into yoghurt or a light 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.
• Essential oil safety: dilute essential oils in a carrier oil to 0.5–2% for facial use; perform a patch test and discontinue if irritation occurs.

 

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, prioritise safety: patch test, dilute essential oils, follow device contraindications, and stop any treatment that causes marked irritation.
