Acne

Taking care of acne-prone skin requires a consistent and gentle skincare routine. Here’s a 3-step routine, you can practice to steer away from acne:

1. Cleanse gently: Use a mild cleanser or soaps with salicylic acid to clear your skin, twice a day to remove dirt, excess oil, and bacteria without irritating your skin. Avoid harsh scrubbing or over-cleansing, as these can worsen acne.

2. Moisturize properly: Even acne-prone skin needs hydration. Choose an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer for acne, to maintain the skin's moisture balance without clogging pores.

3. Protect your skin: Use oil-free sunscreen that prevents greasiness, with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Sun exposure can worsen acne and lead to hyper-pigmentation.

Remember, everyone's skin is unique, so it may take some trial and error to find the right routine for you, especially when fighting acne. Patience and consistency are key when it comes to managing acne-prone skin.
