Growing up isn’t just about getting a job, getting married,
paying bills etc. It’s also about knowing how to take care of yourself. The
breakouts you experienced when you were younger are much different than the
breakouts you’re experiencing now. The products you use and how you treat your
breakouts have to be suitable for your age.
No more Drying
Products!
When you were younger you probably reached for products
formulated to dry out those blemishes with antibacterial ingredients, and they
probably worked. However, as we age acne tends to go away on it’s own, but in
our minds we believe those drying products deserve all the credit, we are very
wrong. As our skin ages those same acne products we were using in our teens
will do more harm than good for us. They will dry out your skin leaving it in
an unhealthy state and could accelerate the arrival of wrinkles! What you want to be using is a cleanser with
glycolic acid, which will act an exfoliator to destroy acne-causing bacteria
from your skin without over drying. The IS Clinical Cleansing Complex is
perfect for this. It is effective, but
not drying so even those with sensitive skin would love this product.
Forget about past
skin concerns
Make sure you are treating your current skin concerns based
on what’s going on in the present vs. what occurred in the past. Your acne now
opposed to your acne when you were a teen is probably not as severe or wide
spread, so instead of applying acne treatments to your entire face try applying
it as a spot treatment instead. The Glytone Acne 3P Gel is great for this! Its
non-irritating formula helps clear acne, blackheads, and white heads. It also
helps keep your skin clear of new acne blemishes while allowing the skin to
heal from past breakouts.
Exfoliate and Hydrate
One of the hardest parts of dealing with adult acne is that
you are also dealing with aging skin. You don’t only want to keep the skin
clear you want it to appear youthful and radiant as well. The key to this is
exfoliating and moisturizing! The reason you need to exfoliate is to get rid of
that dead layer of skin in order to unclog your pores and prevent breakouts.
Exfoliating also encourages the production f new, healthy, fresher skin cells!
The SkinKure microdermabrasion scrub is our go to product for this; it will
leave your skin feeling fresh and smooth after every use, which will allow your
skin to properly absorb your other products including your moisturizer. Staying
moisturized is vital to keep your skin youthful. One of our favorite
moisturizers is Epionce Renewal Facial Lotion; it’s perfect for normal to
combination skin types. It is lightweight and moisturizes without leaving you
feeling greasy, and makes your skin appear smoother and softer.
If you still aren’t sure what you should be using call and
setup an appointment for a skincare consult with our Master Esthetician. She
can help you get on a regimen based on your skin type and concerns.
