still struggling with acne? read this 🤌🏼

recently battled a bad breakout, so i’m back with another acne guide! 👋🏼 this time to help you out with tips if you’re still struggling with acne.

1️⃣ always double cleanse! if you dk what this is, it’s basically using an oil-based cleanser or micellar water, and then going with your regular foam or gel cleanser. this helps to remove EVERYTHING on your face—sunscreen, makeup, dirt, bacteria. i used to have those pesky forehead bumps, but after doing this, they’ve completely gone.

2️⃣ if you have cheek breakouts, it could be things that your skin is coming into contact with. it’s SUPER important to keep these clean: pillowcase, your phone, towels, makeup brushes and beauty blenders. also, this goes without saying but don’t touch your face throughout the day!!! ❌

3️⃣ let your skin air-dry! this tip has helped me so much. your towel accumulates bacteria so either wash it everyday or use a tissue to dry your face, it’s way more hygienic.

4️⃣ keep your skincare simple. overloading it with actives (bha/aha or retinol) or too many steps will only make your skin worse. when i get a breakout, i cut back to just essential steps: cleanser, toner OR serum, exfoliant/retinol, moisturiser and sunscreen (in the morning).

5️⃣ if you haven’t gotten your skincare routine down yet, try skin cycling. you exfoliate on some days and let your skin rest on others. i find that this really helps keep my skin clear without using too much actives that could strip my skin barrier!
