How I’m clearing my Oily Acne Scarred Skin

I’ve been struggling with acne all my life I feel 😭 Ever since 5th grade. Lately my acne and been scarring extra bad since moving to Utah. The constant sun rays and dry air have not been friendly to my skin.

My current skincare routine I’ve simplified down

1. Gentle cleanser

2. Oil cleanser (liquid and balm)

I use the liquid one to remove makeup and the balm for everything else like lymphatic facial massage.

3. Moisturizer

Cosrx oil free- perfect for oily skin

Anua Milk Moisturizer- Provides extra moisture on my way to work

4. Sunscreen trials

As I’m trying to find a sunscreen that works for my skin tone and doesn’t break me out. I’m trying samples of all sorts. So far, I haven’t found the perfect one yet :(

Living with oily, acne-prone skin, especially when combined with scarring, can be particularly challenging in environments with dry air and intense sun exposure, like Utah. It’s essential to adapt your skincare routine to counteract these conditions while addressing acne scars and oiliness. A gentle cleanser like CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser is ideal for normal to dry skin and helps maintain the skin’s protective barrier, which is crucial when battling acne and preventing further irritation. Using an oil cleanser in two forms—liquid for makeup removal and balm for massages such as lymphatic drainage—can effectively dissolve buildup and promote skin health. For instance, products like Softyma Speedy Cleansing Oil and Clean It Zero Tea Tree-EX Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm have become popular choices for their ability to deeply cleanse without stripping the skin. Moisturizing oily, acne-scarred skin requires balance. Lightweight, oil-free moisturizers such as COSRX’s Oil-Free Moisturizing Lotion containing birch sap provide hydration without clogging pores. In colder, drier climates or morning routines, a lightweight milk moisturizer like Anua 70+ Rice + Ceramide can offer extra moisture and strengthen the skin barrier. Sunscreen is non-negotiable for acne-scarred skin, particularly with increased sun sensitivity. Choosing the right sunscreen that doesn’t cause breakouts or white cast is a common struggle. Trialing products like La Roche-Posay’s Anthelios line can help find a broad-spectrum option that suits your skin tone and texture. Although some sunscreens may leave a slight white cast or feel heavy, persistence in sampling can lead to the perfect match. In summary, combining gentle cleansing, effective oil cleansing, balanced moisturizing, and consistent sunscreen use forms a robust foundation to clear oily, acne-scarred skin. Embracing these steps and adapting them according to local climate factors like dry air and sun exposure will enhance skin healing and overall skin health.
