It is a common knowledge that acne skin requires special care which is why the choice of cosmetics and treatments, makeup and daily routine must be well thought out. You should take care of acne skin all year round and not only at home! The treatment should start in the dermatological office. So what can you do for your skin yourself?

Step 1: Cleanse

Thorough cleansing is the foundation of acne skin care. Remnants of makeup, sebum, sweat, dust and other impurities cannot remain on your face even for the shortest time. When washing the skin, pay attention to the composition of cosmetics you use. Acne skin does not like aggressive rubbing and strong products. The most recommended product will have a light formula intended for sensitive skin.

Step 2: Protect against the sun

To prevent the appearance of scars and discolourations on acne skin, you must provide proper protection with a sunscreen. Although the sun dries up the blemishes, in the future it can lead to more intense imperfections. Acne skin should be protected throughout the year with cosmetics with a factor of minimum 20 SPF. By using such cosmetics, you will also prevent photoaging and premature wrinkle formation.

Step 3: Moisturise

Some of you may find it strange, but even acne skin should be moisturised regularly. Thanks to the use of cosmetics with this effect, you will prevent skin oiliness, the formation of new breakouts and skin shining in the T zone. The formula of moisturising products should be weightless, non-pore clogging yet containing nourishing ingredients. What is more, such a cosmetic can successfully replace the makeup primer. If you do not know which product will be most suitable for your complexion, ask a dermatologist or a pharmacist for help.
