The Kyushi Perioral Dermatitis Protocol

In the world of skincare, the pursuit of clear and radiant skin can often lead us to explore various products and routines. However, for those of us battling perioral dermatitis, a skin condition characterised by itchy sore red, bumpy rashes around the mouth, eyes, and nose, the journey to find the right products can be challenging. This is where we - Kyushi, a natural skincare company founded by myself a holistic esthetician can help with our tried and tested Perioral Dermatitis Protocol skincare set.

Understanding Perioral Dermatitis:

Perioral dermatitis is a skin condition that can be exacerbated by the use of harsh chemical-laden skincare products. As a holistic facialist, I believe in addressing skin issues not just on the surface but by understanding the body's overall well-being. Perioral dermatitis, often linked to the overuse of topical steroids (which are often prescribed for PD), requires a gentle and natural approach to skincare.

Here are a few lifestyle and environmental factors that can cause Perioral Dermatitis, due to the uniqueness of each individual, often triggers differ from person to person and uncovering the root cause is always my advice for getting on top of any skin issue. Eliminating or changing a few things can help us to play detective and unload the body of extra burdens known to exacerbate the situation. I would recommend changing one thing at a time so you can see if it makes a difference.

  1. Topical Steroid Overuse: One of the leading causes of perioral dermatitis is the excessive use of topical steroids. Individuals using strong steroids for various skin conditions may unknowingly trigger or worsen perioral dermatitis. These steroids can disrupt the skin's natural balance, leading to inflammation and the further development of the characteristic rash.

  2. Fluoridated Toothpaste: Studies have shown a connection between fluoride in toothpaste and the development of perioral dermatitis. As a holistic facialist, I encourage individuals to explore fluoride-free toothpaste options, as this may contribute to reducing the occurrence of perioral dermatitis around the mouth. Fluoride can also be found in tap water - exploring filtering your shower water can also be beneficial.

  3. Hormonal Factors: Hormonal changes, especially in women, can contribute to the onset of perioral dermatitis. Fluctuations in hormones, such as those occurring during pregnancy, peri or post menopause or the use of oral contraceptives, may play a role in the development of skin issues.

  4. Dietary Triggers: Certain foods, particularly spicy and hot items, have been identified as potential triggers for perioral dermatitis. Maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding known trigger foods can be beneficial in managing and preventing flare-ups.

  5. Stress and Environmental Factors: Stress is a well-known contributor to various skin conditions, including perioral dermatitis. Additionally, environmental factors such as pollution and harsh weather conditions can impact the skin's health. Incorporating stress management techniques and protecting the skin from environmental stressors are crucial aspects of a holistic skincare approach.


The Kyushi Perioral Dermatitis Protocol

Kyushi's Perioral Dermatitis Protocol is designed to soothe and heal the skin without compromising its natural balance. This set comprises three key products: the Kyushi Cleansing Oil, Chamomile and Helichrysum Face Oil, and Cotton Cleansing Cloths.

  1. Kyushi Cleansing Oil: The first step in the protocol involves the use of Kyushi's Cleansing Oil. Contrary to conventional wisdom, oil-based cleansers can be incredibly beneficial for perioral dermatitis. The Kyushi Cleansing Oil is a blend of nourishing oils that effectively cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. This product gently removes impurities and makeup, leaving the skin clean and balanced.

  2. Chamomile and Helichrysum Face Oil: The second step involves applying the Chamomile and Helichrysum Face Oil. Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, making it an excellent choice for calming irritated skin. Combined with helichrysum, which promotes skin regeneration, this face oil helps soothe and heal the affected areas. The lightweight and non-comedogenic formula ensure that the skin receives the hydration it needs without clogging pores.

  3. Cotton Cleansing Cloths: Completing the protocol is the use of Kyushi's Cotton Cleansing Cloths. These soft and organic cloths provide a gentle way to remove the cleansing oil and face oil, promoting a thorough yet non-aggressive skincare routine. The use of cotton ensures that the skin is treated with utmost care, preventing further irritation.

Holistic Approach to Skincare:

As a holistic facialist and esthetician, I firmly believe that skincare is not just about what you put on your skin but also about overall well-being. Stress management, a balanced diet, and proper hydration play crucial roles in achieving and maintaining healthy skin. The Kyushi Perioral Dermatitis Protocol aligns with this holistic philosophy, providing a natural and nurturing approach to skincare. The Perioral Dermatitis Protocol is more than just a skincare set; it's a commitment to promoting holistic healing for those struggling with perioral dermatitis. By combining the power of natural ingredients with a mindful skincare routine and addressing lifestyle and environmental triggers, you can embark on a journey towards healthier, clearer skin.
