Mystery Pimples; How Earphones Can Lead To More Breakouts
The Case of the Mystery Pimples: How Clean Earphones Can Lead to Clear Skin

Jessica came in for a facial looking visibly frustrated. She had been dealing with large, inflamed pimples near her ear for weeks and nothing seemed to help. Her skin that was otherwise smooth and glowing, had become a source of distress because of these stubborn breakouts. As she settled in for her facial, I could see the toll this issue was taking on her confidence.

We started with a thorough consultation. I asked her about her skincare routine, her diet and her daily habits. Jessica explained that she was diligent about her skincare; cleansing, toning, and moisturizing religiously. She even watched what she ate, avoiding greasy foods and staying hydrated. Yet, despite all her efforts, those pesky pimples continued to appear.

"Let's think about other possible causes," I suggested. "Could it be your makeup? Or maybe your pillowcase? Sometimes, it's even just a habit of touching your face while you're on the computer."

Jessica nodded thoughtfully. "I guess I could be more mindful about touching my face, especially when I'm working. I'll pay attention and see if I notice anything."

After her facial, she left with a newfound determination to solve the mystery of her breakouts. The next morning, my phone buzzed with a message from Jessica. She had sent a photo of her earphones, covered in makeup and oil. The caption read, "I think they're from my earphones."

Bingo. We had cracked the case!

Earphones, particularly the over-the-ear type, can easily become a breeding ground for bacteria, oil, and dirt. These contaminants then transfer to your skin, causing irritation and breakouts. Jessica's discovery was a game-changer. By simply cleaning her earphones regularly, she could significantly reduce her breakouts.

Why Clean Earphones Matter
It's easy to overlook how much bacteria and grime can accumulate on earphones. After all, they touch our ears and face multiple times a day, picking up sweat, oil, and makeup. Over time, this buildup can cause clogged pores and inflammation, leading to breakouts. For those prone to acne, particularly in areas where the earphones touch the skin, this can be a major trigger.

How to Clean Your Earphones for Clear Skin
Cleaning your earphones doesn't have to be a chore. Here are some simple steps to keep them, and your skin, clean and clear

1.Wipe Down Regularly: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down your earphones daily. This helps remove surface dirt and oil.

2.Use Alcohol Wipes: For a deeper clean, use alcohol wipes to disinfect your earphones. Alcohol wipes are effective in killing bacteria without damaging the material of your earphones.

3.Avoid Excess Moisture: When cleaning your earphones, be careful not to get moisture into any openings or electronic components. Use a damp cloth rather than soaking your earphones.

4.Store Properly: When not in use, store your earphones in a clean, dry place. Avoid leaving them on dirty surfaces or in places where they can easily pick up dust and grime.

5.Replace When Necessary: Over time, earphones can become worn and difficult to clean thoroughly. If your earphones are old or heavily soiled, it might be time to invest in a new pair.

Jessica started following these steps diligently. She wiped down her earphones every evening and used alcohol wipes for a more thorough clean every few days. Within a week, she noticed a significant improvement in her skin. The large, inflamed pimples near her ear started to subside, and her skin looked clearer and healthier.

The Bigger Picture: Comprehensive Skincare
While cleaning your earphones is a great step towards clear skin, it's also important to consider your overall skincare routine and daily habits.

Meet Jean Kelly -Acne Esthetician

 
I'm Jean Kelly. 
I received my esthetician license in 2012.  I've been working on skin since then learning all I can about rosacea and acne. I took a course to be an acne specialist so I could learn even more and have access to exclusive products.  My kids struggled with acne for years.  My daughter would cry, her face covered in pimples, and beg me "please don't make me go to school".  It was heartbreaking to see her in pain.  We went to doctors and they never tried to find the causes, they only wanted to prescribe medication. .. some with really bad side effects.  One summer she went swimming and came out so sunburn with second degree burns from one of the prescription medications. 
My son's skin wasn't much better.  His was mostly on his neck, chest and back.  We went through the same routing with doctors just prescribing meds.  Nothing helped.
I finally decided I needed to research what causes acne.  I went to school to be an esthetician thinking I could get some answers.  It seemed like everyone was perplexed!  Once I got my license I was able to buy products that only licensed esthetician can buy.  I found a product line that worked great!  My daughter said her face looks it's best when she's using it and I must say she is beautiful!  
I decided my purpose in life was to help others that are struggling with acne, to clear their skin and change their lifestyle to include healthier foods and supplements.
I learned that what is going on inside your body shows up on the outside!  Gut and liver health are an important part of clearing acne along with a good skin care routine.  
             Are you ready to get started clearing your skin?
