PRODUCTS & WORKOUTS USED
We’d all love clearer, brighter, healthier-looking skin. But for some of us, genetics and lifestyle issues can make the pursuit a little more challenging.
All across the world, people of all ages and cultures struggle with skin problems and one of the most common conditions is acne.
What can help reduce acne?
There are a number of ways to approach the problems associated with acne-prone skin.
These range from lifestyle changes, diet and nutrition, as well as medication in some cases.
Yet one of the simplest tools in the skincare toolkit is also one of the most effective in reducing acne flare-ups and minimising the appearance of spots and blemishes:
The right skincare routine.
What's the best skincare routine for acne?
When it comes to acne-prone skin, finding the right skincare routine is a little more complex than it is for typical normal or combination complexions.
This is because the wrong regimes or products can sometimes make skin problems worse rather than better.
Yet the basics of a sound skincare protocol are rooted in a universal routine that has stood the test of time and still forms the foundation of great skin.
These essential steps in a good anti-acne skincare routine include the classic 4-step process:
Cleanser
All skin types benefit from being cleansed well. The skin is an organ that needs to replenish daily, so clearing away the inevitable dirt and grime will support the natural processes of healthy skin. Even though people with oily skin worry about stripping away too much of the skin's natural oils and making acne problems worse, the right cleanser will be both gentle and effective without contributing to breakouts and blemishes.
Toner
Toners can also work to support the skin in its natural processes of regeneration and maintaining balance. Acne-prone skin in particular can benefit from this additional skin boost that will help to balance oils and deliver a clearer base complexion.
Mask
A targeted mask is often skipped in the classic 3-step skincare routine but it can be a worthwhile addition for acne sufferers. Choosing the right mask can provide the skin with the extra nutrients it needs to cope with the demands of everyday life and minimise the effects of skin problems.
Moisturiser
Though it may be tempting to go without a good moisturiser if your skin is prone to acne, there are lots of benefits in providing your complexion with the right dose of nutrients and ingredients. Moisturising and nourishing your skin will also prevent the signs of ageing and help you enjoy a brighter, more glowing complexion.
