Skincare Routine for Blemished Skin

How can I take care of my blemish-prone skin?

Here you can find the best skincare routine suitable for blemish-prone skin:

Step 1: First thing’s first, a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type is an essential. The simple process of removing dirt, debris, pollution, and makeup from the pores helps to keep skin looking clear and sebum under control.

Step 2:Once the skin looks clear, it’s important to lock in hydration with a serum. Many people believe that oily skin needs to be stripped of oil but maintaining moisture levels actually helps it to stay healthy and balanced. The most important thing to remember is that the products you apply to blemish-prone skin are non-comedogenic, a term which denotes products that are unlikely to clog pores.

Step 3:Your third step should be a moisturiser that will lock in the hydration provided by the serum and help to protect your skin. This will also stop your complexion drying out and over-compensating for moisture loss by producing more oil.

It’s also important to apply UVA and UVB protection to the skin each day to help limit the effect of harsh UV rays on your skin cells. UVA and UVB protection is included in some daytime facial moisturisers or, if you prefer, you can apply a separate sunscreen over your typical skincare routine. CeraVe’s AM Facial Moisturising Lotions both include SPF30 and SPF50 UVA/UVB protection.

How do you treat blemishes on the face?

The best way of improving and reducing the look of pre-existing blemishes is by cleansing the face twice a day. This will stop sebum from sticking to the pores and clogging them, and allow areas of blemishes to get a thorough cleanse without disrupting the skin.

For very persistent blemishes, products that contain BHAs (Beta-Hydroxy Acids), such as Salicylic Acid, can be really effective. This widely used form of BHA gently exfoliates the skin and helps to clear sebum from the pores, all while helping to prevent blemishes from reappearing in the same place.
