If you’re struggling with acne, finding the right skincare routine can feel overwhelming. You want to clear up breakouts without irritating your skin or causing more damage, but where do you start?
At Millefiori in Melbourne, Florida, our team of physician assistants and a licensed esthetician can point you to the right products and skincare regime for acne-prone skin. Here’s a simple guide to caring for your skin, featuring expert-recommended products from trusted brands like SkinCeuticals and OSEA.
1. Cleanse the Skin Gently (but Effectively)
Acne-prone skin needs a cleanser that unclogs pores and removes excess oil without stripping the skin of moisture. Here are two cleansers we love:
-
- OSEA Ocean Cleanser is a great option that uses seaweed to gently clean the skin.
- For a deeper cleanse, SkinCeuticals LHA Cleansing Gel can help exfoliate dead skin cells and keep breakouts at bay.
2. Toning to Refine and Prep the Skin
A toner like SkinCeuticals LHA Solution (recommended following the LHA cleanser) will refine your pores and balance oil production. This gentle solution prepares your skin for the next steps to help your products work even better.
3. Target and Treat Acne
Once your skin is clean and toned, it’s time to apply targeted treatments for acne:
- SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense can reduce breakouts and minimize fine lines – perfect for adults dealing with acne and early signs of aging.
- SkinCeuticals Retinol 1.0 is a more potent nighttime treatment that promotes skin cell turnover.
- You can also add the OSEA Red Algae Clarifying Mask once or twice a week for extra detoxifying and to reduce blemishes.
4. Exfoliate
You should exfoliate acne-prone skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells that clog pores, like one of these options:
- A SkinCeuticals micropeel is an exfoliation treatment that improves texture but isn’t too harsh on your skin.
- A full chemical peel is a deeper treatment that targets more significant skin concerns like acne scars and discoloration.
5. Protect
Finally, always protect your skin with a SkinCeuticals SPF moisturizer to shield it from harmful UV rays without clogging pores.
