As the school year approaches, it’s the perfect time to establish a skincare routine that helps manage acne. Acne is a common issue for many students, and the stress of school can sometimes make it worse.
Acne is a common and frustrating skin condition affecting many adolescents. With the onset of puberty, hormonal changes can trigger an increase in oil production, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. As you navigate the world of skincare, it’s important to understand what causes acne and how to effectively manage it.
Check our our dermatologist’s top tips for managing acne.
Step 1 – Deep cleansing – Salicylic Acid Foaming Cleanser
Salicylic Acid works to treat acne by unclogging blocked pores and eradicating acne-causing bacteria, leading to fewer breakouts. Salicylic Acid is oil soluble, giving it a greater degree of penetration through clogged pores than other acids, making it a must-have when it comes to acne prevention.
For best results, use morning and evening, to keep skin clean and clear. Apply 1-2 pumps onto dry or damp skin. Massage into a lather and rinse with water.
Step 2 – Treatment – Anti-blemish Crème
This cream isn’t just about treating acne; it’s about preventing it. With key ingredients that target the causes of acne, you can tackle the day without worrying about breakouts. Daily use helps to noticeably reduce breakouts, controls shine and helps to reduce the appearance of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This lightweight creme formulation is extremely effective for acne treatment.
Apply 1-2 pumps to cleansed skin morning and evening. Avoid direct contact with the eye area. You may apply it up to the orbital bone.
Step 3 – Rejuvenation – Repair & Renew Gel
A delicate ‘at-home’ peeling solution that exfoliates, brightens, soothes and decongests, helping to eradicate skin imperfections. This wash-off gel helps rejuvenate skin and promotes cellular turnover. Daily use helps to promote a clear complexion, free from breakouts and the marks they leave behind.
Apply to cleansed skin and allow product to work for 20-30 mins before removing.
