Since acne prone skin tends to be highly sensitive and reactive there are some aspects that you definitely need to watch out for:• Try to stay away from potential irritants• Provide enough moisture to your skin• Be aware of textures and the kind of products that work for you• Focus on skin regeneration to avoid scaring• And make sure to keep your cell turnover on point.And for that, here you will be able to find some basic rules that you might want to start following as well as some good product recommendations for this specific skin type :)1. Cleanse and Refine
As you can imagine cleansing is a major step when we talk about skincare for acne prone skin types. You need to find a cleanser that is powerful enough, but also not harsh. One that cleanses the skin but does not irritate it or over dries it.In order to also pass on any extra skin conditions, such as fungal acne or excessive breakouts, using a cleanser with low pH would be even better. Basically you want to focus in finding the mister incredible of cleansers, the perfect medium. Deep cleansing, but soft, moisturizing but light and exfoliating but non irritating.“Basically you want to focus on finding the mister incredible of cleansers.”
2. Simple Touches
We all know that toner is like the new moisturizer, but on a routine for acne prone skin the moisturization part is not the only thing to take into account when choosing the item for this step. It is also rather important that our choice of toner is not heavy, nor occlusive and also free of any potential irritants. The more nourishing, but simple in formulation, the better results you can await from it.3. Focus on Hydration but also on Fighting Bacteria
Being acne prone, means that you basically are more likely to develop different types of blemishes. And if this condition comes due to topical reasons, it is basically linked to two major causes:• Pore blockage, due to waste accumulation along the pore conduct• Blemish causing bacteria. In order to prevent both you need to build good moisture levels in order to fight inner dryness and balance the oil production. But also use good ingredients that are anti-fungal and antibacterial in order to prevent any bacteria and fungus overgrowth or spreading.“Get best of both worlds”
For that choose nourishing ingredients that help re-balance your skin moisture from deep within. Which will take care of balancing the skin’s sebum production levels and fight all that inner and outer dryness. Ingredients like propolis are the best of both worlds since they are great not only at hydrating the skin and adding softness and bounciness, but being also a very well appreciated bacteria killer, so potent that it is even sold to be ingested as a supplement to help the immune system.4. Bring all the Gunk Out
Proper cleansing, a few layers of toner and good ingredients will do wonders, but we all know that if you have acne prone skin there is always an even bigger elephant in the room, THE BLEMISHES. Most of those blemishes come as we have previously explained from the pore getting blocked due to excessive waste. So what can we do to get rid of them?YEP, THAT’S RIGHT! Pull it all out ASAP.
Let’s not get overly excited here, because many deep cleansing products can be quite harsh on the skin and as we have also indicated, skin irritation is a major cause of breakouts on acne prone skin. Well fortunately not all deep cleansing treatments have to be overly drying, phewww5. Moisture Shall Never be Forgotten
We have already stated many times that even if you have acne prone skin, moisturizing your skin shall never be forgotten, since it is the last part of your routine that will help complete the whole process giving your skin the proper nourishment to guarantee optimal skin function and keeping the necessary moisture and oil balance.“Aid your skin, by maintaining your barrier!”
Products with ingredients such as the ones in the soothing cream will not only provide instant moisture and hydration through its fast absorption, but also long term moisture without being too occlusive for acne prone skin types.
