Beat Acne With This Local Skincare Bootcamp
Understand your skin and get personalized strategies with a certified acne specialist
By Jessica Falcone
Do you struggle with acne? You’re not alone! Acne is more than a skin condition; it’s a complex and frustrating issue that affects people of all ages. Did you know that studies show approximately 50% of women in their 20s, 33% of women in their 30s, and 25% of women in their 40s experience acne? While it’s common, that doesn’t make it any less challenging to deal with.
For many, acne impacts more than just the skin. It can affect confidence, self-esteem, and even mental well-being. It’s not uncommon for those with persistent breakouts to feel frustrated, self-conscious, or even hopeless, especially after trying countless treatments with little to no success. Acne is a condition that can influence our daily lives, from how we see ourselves to how we interact with the world.
I’m Jessica Falcone, owner of Jessica Elizabeth Skincare, and I’ve spent over eight years helping hundreds of individuals navigate their skincare concerns. As a certified acne specialist, I have undergone extensive training to understand not just how to treat acne, but how to identify its root causes and create personalized strategies.
Why Acne Is So Difficult to Treat
Many people assume that acne is caused by poor hygiene or not using the right skincare products, but in reality, it’s a condition influenced by a combination of internal and external factors. Hormonal fluctuations, diet, stress levels, genetics, and environmental changes can all contribute to breakouts. This is why treating acne isn’t as simple as applying a cream or washing your face. Managing your acne requires a deeper understanding of what’s happening beneath the surface.
Common Misconceptions About Acne Treatments
Many acne treatments focus solely on short-term relief without addressing the underlying issues that cause breakouts in the first place. I call these short-term fixes the “Band-Aid” approach. Topical prescriptions and expensive over-the-counter products may help temporarily, but without considering factors like inflammation, diet, or stress, the results often don’t last. Also, some treatments come with side effects that can cause additional skin irritation, dryness, or sensitivity, making the process even more frustrating.
At Jessica Elizabeth Skincare, we take a different approach. Instead of focusing only on surface-level treatments, we work to understand the bigger picture. Acne management isn’t just about finding the right products; it’s about identifying your unique triggers and creating a plan tailored to your skin’s needs.
A Holistic Approach to Acne Management
Because acne is influenced by so many factors, an effective treatment plan needs to go beyond basic skincare, including:
Identifying Triggers – Acne can be worsened by stress, hormones, diet, or environmental factors. Understanding what’s affecting your skin is the first step in controlling breakouts.
Choosing the Right Ingredients – Many products on the market contain harsh or pore-clogging ingredients that can actually make acne worse. Learning to read ingredient lists and select products that support clear skin is essential.
Balancing the Skin Barrier – Stripping the skin with aggressive cleansers or overusing acne treatments can compromise the skin’s natural protective barrier, leading to irritation and increased breakouts. A proper balance of hydration and exfoliation is key.
Supporting Skin Health from Within – Gut health, diet, and inflammation all play a role in acne. Addressing internal factors can significantly improve long-term results.
At Jessica Elizabeth Skincare, we provide not just treatments, but education and support to help you gain control over your acne for the long term. On our website, you’ll find information about the products we trust, ingredient breakdowns, and guidance on optimizing your lifestyle for clearer skin.

This journey can be frustrating, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. My team and I are here to guide you every step of the way, helping you make decisions about your skincare and overall health.
