Skin Detox: The Best Solution for Oily and Acne-Prone Skin

Oily, acne-prone skin is a common problem, but it’s one that’s often treated improperly. While sebum is essential for protecting and hydrating your skin, an overactive oil gland combined with dead skin cells and dirt can lead to clogged pores and a host of issues, including:

  • Blackheads and whiteheads
  • Inflammatory acne
  • A shiny, greasy complexion

According to dermatological research, the causes of oily and acne-prone skin are often rooted in:

  • Hormonal imbalances (puberty, menstrual cycles, stress)
  • Genetics
  • A diet high in sugar and fatty foods
  • Improper skincare (over-washing or using overly harsh products)

2. Skin Detox: A Deep Cleanse from Within

2.1. What Is Skin Detox?

Skin Detox CO₂ is a non-invasive facial treatment that uses carbon dioxide (CO₂) to deeply cleanse and detoxify your skin.

How it works: A special mask is applied to the skin, which generates CO₂ gas. According to the "Bohr effect," when CO₂ concentration increases, your body responds by boosting blood circulation, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the treated area. This process helps flush out toxins, dirt, and excess oil from your pores, while also stimulating collagen production and skin regeneration.

At LABOHO Spa, our Skin Detox is specifically designed for oily, acne-prone skin, with steps that include:

  • Double Cleansing: Removes makeup, dirt, and excess oil.
  • Steaming and Exfoliation: Softens impurities and opens pores for easier extraction.
  • Professional Extraction: Safely removes blackheads and whiteheads using sterilized tools.
  • CO₂ Detox Mask: Pulls out excess oil and deeply cleanses pores to prevent inflammation.
  • High-Frequency Machine: Uses a germicidal current to kill bacteria and reduce swelling.
  • Moisturizing and Protection: Restores the skin’s natural moisture barrier.

3. The Benefits of Skin Detox for Oily Skin

  • Regulates Oil Production: The clay mask and special serums help control sebum glands, keeping your skin clear without over-drying it.
  • Deep Cleansing & Acne Prevention: The detox and gentle exfoliation remove dead skin cells and sebum deep within pores, preventing new breakouts.
  • Purifies & Revitalizes: The warmth from the herbal steam and detoxifying ingredients stimulates blood flow, improving your skin tone and leaving you with a brighter, healthier complexion.
  • Enhances Product Absorption: After a deep cleanse, your skin is more receptive to serums and moisturizers, allowing them to hydrate and regenerate more effectively.

4. Optimize Results with At-Home Skincare

To maintain the benefits of your Skin Detox treatment, a consistent at-home routine is essential. Here are some key tips:

  • Cleanse twice a day with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser.
  • Use an oil-control toner to tighten pores and manage sebum.
  • Choose an oil-free moisturizer to hydrate without clogging pores.
  • Apply sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV rays, which can cause inflammation and increase oil production.
  • Exfoliate gently 1–2 times a week with an enzyme-based product or a low-concentration acid.

Combining a professional Skin Detox with the right at-home care will help you achieve and maintain clear, shine-free skin while minimizing future breakouts.
