the science of skincare

#glowyskin #lemon8challenge #skincareroutine #howtogetridofacne #healedmyacne #skincare #beautyfinds #science #embracevulnerability #unfiltered

Skincare is not always about having flawless, blemish free skin. Further, even if you are healthy and happy, you can still have regular breakouts and other skin blemishes. Try not to be so hard on yourself when that happens, it's only natural and your body is doing its job.🩷

⭐Below is my personal Acne Treatment Plan:

For face:

Every morning -

- Wash with water or gentle cleanser such as Cerave or Cetaphil

- Follow with SPF 30 moisturizer (such as Cetaphil, Cerave, Aveeno or Neutrogena)

Every evening -

- Wash with Benzoyl Peroxide (PanOxyl 4% Creamy Wash over the counter). This will bleach your towels, so dry with a white towel and avoiding touching color fabrics.

- ⚠️Prescription ONLY (please contact your doctor or dermatologist if you are interested): Apply your retinoid topical (tretinoin, adapalene or tazorac) every night - this is the most important topical medicine. Start twice weekly and slowly increase your use over 2-4 weeks.

- Follow with moisturizer

For body lesions (if any):

-Benzoyl Peroxide (Panoxyl wash) in shower to body lesions once daily. Dry off with white towel (it will bleach towels)

Gentle skin care

- Use oil-free/water-based makeup (labeled ‘non-comedogenic’) such as Neutrogena SkinClearing makeup or Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Makeup

- Mechanical occlusion (such as sports helmet or mask, bangs, thick makeup) can make your acne worse in certain areas.

- Do not squeeze or pick pimples and blackheads. This can cause infection and scarring.

2024/6/21 Edited to

Understanding the science of skincare is crucial in combating common issues like acne, which affects nearly 75% of adults and many in their teens. Studies show that factors such as hormones, diet, and stress can trigger skin changes leading to breakouts. It's essential not to equate clear skin with good hygiene, as skin imperfections are a natural part of the human experience. Furthermore, lifestyle adjustments play a significant role in skin health. Reducing dairy and sugar intake may help decrease acne occurrences. Staying hydrated and ensuring quality sleep can also diminish signs of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Regular exercise aids in balancing blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for skincare. Makeup choices are equally important; using non-comedogenic products can help prevent clogged pores. Remember, skincare is not just about flawless beauty—it's about caring for your skin in a way that promotes overall health and aligns with your authentic self. By implementing effective skincare routines and embracing vulnerability, we can foster a more positive self-image and a healthy relationship with our skin.
