Acne tips part 10. Hormonal acne is difficult because it is dependent on your hormonal levels during your cycle. So not something you can control by dirt, stress management necessarily. If your normal acne products aren’t working then you can try the contraceptive pill but if that isn’t suitable it doesn’t work, your acne may be due to androgens such as testosterone. This is where spironolactone can be helpful. So check in either your GP to discuss this if you are struggling with hormonal acne and nothing seems to be helping.

Acne tips Part 9. Yes you do need to moisturise! Your barrier is compromised but also if you dry your skin out, you will produce more oil. Geek & Gorgeous do a lovely light moisturiser called Hydration Station. If you’re finding your skin a bit drier especially in winter then their Happy Barrier is great. You nay inky need it at night. But be careful how much squalene as some products have too high a percentage and you can just break out.

Acne tips Part 8. Exfoliation for some people really works and for others just irritates your skin barrier. Physical exfoliation is a recipe for disaster. It damages your skin barrier whether it’s the brushes or the washes with bits in! Chemical exfoliation is best but you can do it too often. Maximum twice a week. Even that can be too much for some, so always monitor your skin. I love mandelic acid. It’s gentle but effective ❤️

Acne tips Part 7. If salicylic acid is too irritating then products with willow bark may be better. They are gentler. Beta one salicilate can be found in CosRx products. It is balancing cleaning out your pores with protecting your skin barrier.

Acne tips Part 7. Salicylic acid is a staple for most acne sufferers but you don’t need to use it twice per day for the most part. It cleans first and oil out of your pores but it is an acid so will be stripping the skin to a degree. Hence why you don’t generally need it twice per day! Some people find it irritating so there are alternatives. You can try using it in a toner that has ceramides such as the Anua toner and that may help. Follow along for alternatives to salicylic acid

Acne tips part 6. Acne scarring can be very difficult to treat so prevention is key. Nodular and cystic acne are more likely to cause it. So if your topical treatments are not working you need to see a dermatologist. Please look up the NICE guidelines on acne as it makes it clear who should see a dermatologist ❤️

Acne tips Part 5. Using retinoids can be a game changer for acne but only if your barrier is up for it! If everything you put in your skin is stinging or tingling work in your barrier first. Pea size amount of retinoids is ample for the whole of the face. Start with twice a week. Monitor your skin for barrier issues before increasing the days. Always use SPF as retinoids make your skin more sensitive ❤️ Retinoids help acne by increasing cell turnover and controlling oil to clear the skin more quickly and control breakouts. It is great for anti-aging too.

Acne tips Part 4. Using microfibre cloths when cleansing is so much more gentle on the skin. Acne prone skin often has barrier problems, so a normal towel is too harsh. You can then throw them in the wash each day. This way you don’t spread oil around the face.
