Dr. Ben Johnson is a respected presence in the skin care industry who leads Osmosis Beauty and provides holistic, safe, and research tested pathways toward improved skin health. One core insight that informs Dr. Ben Johnson and Osmosis' formulation of acne products is that acne does not represent a bacterial issue.
Rather, acne is associated with purging toxins from the skin, with various locations on the body and face tied to specific organs and environmental toxins. In a Youtube video, Dr. Johnson delves into the connection between dairy, digestive habits, and acne. He begins by noting that those regions of the face from the forehead to just above the jawline are associated with candida, a yeast found in the gut.
While candida is a beneficial yeast, it can overgrow with too much sugar or dairy intake, as well as hormones found in meat and pharmaceuticals such as birth control pills. These toxins are purged from the gut through the face’s “upper digestive zone” in the form of acne.
Unfortunately, today’s dairy products are pasteurized, which damages the good nutrients, including digestive enzymes. An inflammatory mucus reaction occurs that protects candida and creates digestive imbalances that ultimately result in acne.
It can take several weeks to cycle out from this situation, with a mucus detox one way to expedite the process. Alternatively, a digestive enzyme supplement may be recommended for those who want to continue to consume dairy.
