What could be a good example routine for acne-prone skin?Updated a year ago
So how do you put everything together? This is what your skincare routine for acne-prone skin could look like:
AM
- Splash your skin with water, or cleanse if you feel oily or are using a treatment cleanser.
- Optionally, apply any active serums or spot treatments to your skin.
- If your skin feels dry, apply a thin layer of moisturizer and let it sink in completely.
- Finally, apply at least a ¼ teaspoon of sunscreen to the face and neck. If your sunscreen is rich or moisturizing, you can skip moisturizer.
PM
- Cleanse your skin with a mild cleanser, or use a treatment cleanser as needed. Leave your skin damp.
- Apply your active treatment or serum to address breakouts - nighttime is ideal for retinoids.
- If possible, wait for your first treatment serum to sink in completely before applying any additional leave-on products.
- Apply your moisturizer of choice.
- In areas where your skin is feeling dry, apply a light layer of a richer cream or ointment.
