Todays video is all about some things that you can avoid when youâre dealing with acne,hyperpigmentation,breakouts, dull skin and any other skincare concernsâ¤ď¸
KEY THINGS MENTIONED:
Do not over exfoliate:
To get rid of acne, you may be tempted to scrub your skin clean. Donât. Scrubbing can irritate your skin, causing acne to flare.
What to do instead: Be gentle when washing your face and other skin with acne. You want to use a mild, non-comedogenic cleanser. Apply the cleanser lightly with your fingertips, using a circular motion. Gently rinse it off with warm water, using only your fingers. Then pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
Do not pop your pimples:
When you pop or squeeze acne, youâre likely to push some of whatâs inside (e.g., pus, dead skin cells, or bacteria) deeper into your skin. When this happens, you increase inflammation. This can lead to more-noticeable acne and sometimes scarring and pain.
What to do instead: Resist the temptation to pop or squeeze acne. You want to treat your acne with acne medication. If you have deep or painful acne, seeing a dermatologist is necessary to help clear your acne.
Practice double cleansing:
By cleansing twice, you're ensuring that both the first layer of sebum, make-up, sunscreen and deeper layers of pore bacteria, which can all aggravate acne, are removed.
