Congested Skin
OILY SKIN
Skin that is truly oily will feel sticky in the T-Zone and all over the face by late morning or early afternoon.
Pores will appear enlarged. Skin will not appear red or have inflamed lesions.
CLOGGED PORES
Hair follicles will be clogged with blackheads, solidified oil, dead skin cells, and other waste material.
The opening to the hair follicle (pore) will be open, meaning the skin has not grown over the opening of the pore. The debris is exposed to the air, causing it to turn black.
PITTED EDEMA
Pitting edema occurs when damp fluid builds up in the skin, causing it to appear dough like.
When pressure is applied to the skin, a “pit”, or dimple appears on the skin.
CANDIDA/YEAST
Candida/yeast can appears as white patches. It can also appear as red rashes.
It can be characterized as a fungal infection however Chinese medicine would characterize it as trapped damp heat within a weakened skin system.
This type of skin condition is more common in individuals with weakened immune systems.

FAQs
Can over exfoliating cause oiliness?
Yes! When the skin's barrier is diminished from using exfoliating products, the skin will perceive itself as being vulnerable.
Since oil is part of skin's natural defense, when skin's defenses are tampered with, the skin will fight to protect itself and you, by producing lots of oil.
If your skin is naturally oily, then De La Terre Skincare recommends using Purifies Herb Rich Mist and Purifies Herb Rich Serum
What causes clogged pores?
There are several reasons why your pores might get clogged. If you skip a simple 3 step skincare routine of cleansing, misting, and conditioning both in the morning and at night, then dirt from the environment and waste from your body can harden inside your skin's pores.
Waste is removed from the body via urine, stool, and skin. When these processes aren't working well, it shows up on the skin as solid waste trapped in the pores.
How do you get rid of blackheads?
Whatever you do, don't squeeze! Blackheads can be removed professionally by an aesthetician, however in order for skin to respond well to this treatment, it must be healthy and well hydrated.
If the blackheads are tiny in size (and these days, most of them are), you can use Herb Rich Clay which will break down the debris.
What causes pitted edema?
This is a more recent condition that we are observing in the skin. It is caused from dampness or irritation to the digestive tract, leading to a damp response.
The body may become over-saturated with specific medications, such as certain antibiotics, antidepressants, chemotherapy agents, and steroids, leading to this condition.
Consuming "damp-producing" foods like dairy, refined sugar, gluten, can directly contribute to dampness or irritate the digestive tract.
As the body attempts to regulate moisture levels, the lymphatic system is affected, leading to edema and resulting in the skin acquiring a doughy texture.
De La Terre Skincare recommends topical hydrotherapy with the Purifies Herb Rich Tea, followed by Purifies Herb Rich Mist, and Purifies Herb Rich Serum.
What causes candida /yeast?
Candida overgrowth, also known as candidiasis, occurs when there is an imbalance of Candida yeast and beneficial bacteria in the body.
Contributing factors include antibiotic use, a diet high in sugar, refined carbohydrates, and alcohol. Other factors can be a weakened immune system, and certain health conditions.
It's important to consult with a healthcare professional (Naturopathic Physician) for proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect a candida overgrowth on your skin.
Once you have addressed the underlying causes of candida overgrowth, you can support the skin with De La Terre Skincare's Purifies Herb Rich Tea, followed by Purifies Herb Rich Mist, and Purifies Herb Rich Serum.
