Even though I am in my thirties I still have breakouts and have acne scars from my teenage years and have to wear heavy make up which is ageing. A lot of medicated products that I have tried seem too harsh for my skin, what other options are there?
Before
Adult acne is more common than you think. As we age, cell turnover slows down, we don’t naturally exfoliate as well as we did when we were younger, so in adults, the oil builds up under layers of dead skin cells and causes inflammation, pustules and pimples. Everyday products such as oily makeup, moisturizer and serums clog our pores further perpetuating the problem.
Having a daily home regime using an effective cleanser designed for oily skin, a gentle exfoliator, and controlling the oil in your skin is essential.
We would use a tailored skincare approach to help reduce breakouts. The ZO skincare range offers different formulations suited to treat all types of acne, and therapy can be modified to be gentle and easier to tolerate.
After
Microneedling can be effective in softening or eliminating acne scarring, and has minimal downtime associated.
Chemical peels and lasers are very effective at reducing acne scarring. Both these procedures necessitate a longer downtime.
If you're aiming to enhance your beauty routine by avoiding products that clog your pores, an ingredient checker is an essential tool. It takes the guesswork out of deciphering complex ingredient lists. By simply pasting the list into an online checker, you can quickly see which components might be problematic for acne-prone or sensitive skin. This knowledge allows you to make more educated purchasing decisions and curate a skincare and makeup collection that truly works for your skin type, leading to fewer breakouts and a happier complexion.
