Adult Acne And Clogged Pores
Wrinkles and breakouts? When adults are breaking out, they automatically turn to harsh acne products to help with their breakouts, but they also need to cater to skin that is showing the signs of aging. There is a way to address both the breakout problems and to keep the skin nourished and healthy with anti-aging ingredients. Simply Skin can help take the confusion out of your confused skin.
The key concepts are exfoliation and hydration. By aggressively exfoliating your skin (using both chemical and physical exfoliators), you will be unclogging pores underneath the dry skin cell buildup while also helping to stimulate new, healthy, and fresher skin cells. To hydrate, use lightweight, non-pore-clogging products to plump up the skin cells, giving your skin a smoother, softer appearance.
Mineral Oil and Petrolatum - These can clog pores.
Sodium or Ammonium Laureth Sulfate - Found in gel and foaming cleansers, these ingredients encourage dry skin cell buildup.
Apricot Kernels or Seed/Shell Powders - Natural particles found in facial scrubs, these can scratch and irritate the skin, causing bacteria to spread.
Avoid dairy products if your skin is prone to breakouts - Many people have heard that greasy foods and chocolate cause breakouts. I don't find that to be true. When breakouts are cyst-like in the chin and jaw area, most often this is related to excessive ice cream, yogurt, milk, and cheese. Try cutting back on dairy products, and watch your skin clear up!
Don't pick at your skin - The life of a breakout is just 3-5 days but, when you pick at a blemish, the red mark can linger there for 1-2 months! I know it's tempting to pick, but you can make problem skin much worse by forcing bacteria deeper into the skin, resulting in scarring and further breakouts. A better solution for problem skin is a regular facial schedule, where your pores can be cleaned professionally.
Avoid using toners that contain SD Alcohol 40 - Often, people feel the need to dry out their skin when breakouts occur. Trying to dry skin prone to breakouts can backfire, as stripped cell buildup traps oil and leads to more breakouts. Toners without alcohol, on the other hand, are crucial for keeping the skin healthy and hydrated.
