The first step in dealing with acne is to try to pin point the root to the evil. Acne is a Clogged pore. It can be inflamed and non inflamed. A few things I have found that could be attributing to your clogged pores are:
excess production of oil
bacteria
hormones
dead skin cells
ingrown hairs
sensitives (food, environment, product)
gut health
There is no magical cure if I had one I promise I would be blasting it out to the world. EVERY skin story is different and it is going to take a little TRAIL AND ERROR
DEALING WITH A SKIN CRISIS
BACK TO THE BASICS
Do not panic and change everything you are currently doing with your skincare routine. Putting your skin in a whole new environment your skin is going to freakout and purge. Instead invest in good quality products and introduce them one at a time.
Cleanser
Find a Cleanser with a glycolic, salicylic acids as a base. These ingredients help exfoliate the skin and shed dead skin cells that causing the pores to clog.
Avoid products with physical exfoliants. Exfoliants can be harsh and aggravate the skin. Products with micro beads are too harsh for the face as they cause micro tears in the skin.
Avoid products that are rich in alcohol. Alcohol is going to strip the skin of all its nutrients and cause it to be more inflamed.
For the life of me do not apply that bathroom cleaner or toothpaste to "heal" your acne.
Our favorites are the epionce lytec gel cleanser, and purifying wash.
Moisturize
Don't forget to hydrate your skin. When your skin is dehydrated it is going to appear even more red and angry. EVEN OILY SKIN NEEDS MOISTURE
Avoid moisturizers with coconut oil, and heavy shea butter. Yes, it’s natural but it’s harder than most oils for the skin to break down and this tends to clogs pores and give you nice whiteheads
DO NOT PICK
Go ahead and hide those tweezers, DO NOT amazon no fancy little too, iInfluencer are paid to push these products, we constantl see people with broke capillaries, bruises, scars and hypropigmentations, by the improper use of these devises. By all means stay out of the 6x magnifying mirror. I mean who wants to see theirselves that close anyways . PICKING IS GOING TO CAUSE MORE DAMAGE THAN IT IS WORTH!!
Would you rather 3-4 days with a pimple or a year with a scar. Instead invest in a good spot treatment and use it strictly on those spots you want to pick, My favorite is Epionce puryifing spot gel, it is menthol based which helps dry out but also helps heal the redness.
DO NOT PACK ON THE CONCEALER
Being a makeup junkie like a I am I have tested all brands of concealer, growing up I would cake and bake that joker, but by the end of the day it was more inflamed and irritated than ever before. If you have to cover it for something important apply a thin coat and blend out the edges, it's actually going to be less noticeable if you apply a light layer than heavy concealer.
Consider supplementation.
I plan to do another post on your skin and the affect your gut has on it soon. Your skin is the first thing to show when there is something going on in your gut.Keep your stomach/intestines as strong as possible. Probiotics are a must.
I use 1up nutrition Reds and Greens you can find a discount codes, and the amazing benefits of these products on Sydneymadams_ instagram page.
