ACNE-SAFE SKINCARE

acne-safe skincare - what does it mean

Acne-safe skincare refers to a skincare routine and products that are specifically formulated to minimize the occurrence of acne breakouts and support the overall health of acne-prone skin. The goal of acne-safe skincare is to maintain a balanced complexion by reducing inflammation, controlling excess oil production, and preventing the clogging of pores. 


However, blemish-prone clients often hit a plateau in the skin clearing, not understanding why they keep breaking out, despite using blemish fighting products. 

  

Here are some of the most common culprits keeping you from a clear complexion:

 
Pore Clogging Ingredients

Even if you clear up your skin, you will still continue to be blemish prone, and it is imperative that you do not use products that contain pore clogging ingredients.  You can use our tool to check all your skincare, hair products and make-up. https://www.bibalosangeles.com/pages/pore-clogger-checker


Dietary Triggers

Iodides, such dairy, salt and algae could trigger breakouts, along with sugar and consumption of foods high in carbohydrate.


Supplements

Certain Supplements for Hair Growth, like Biotin will accelerate new skin cell renewal, thus causing clogged pores.


Medications

Certain medications and low-dose birth control pills can trigger breakouts.


High Stress

Getting plenty of sleep and exercise will help reduce stress hormone levels in the body that are known to cause skin issues.


Sweating

Especially night sweats, can cause breakouts around the hairline, neck, chest and back.
 
When looking for acne-safe products, it's important to choose products that are non-comedogenic, meaning they won't clog your pores. It's essential to remember that everyone's skin is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. 

 
Professional Guidance:


Consulting with a skincare professional can be immensely helpful in establishing an effective acne-safe skincare routine. They can provide personalized advice, identify potential triggers, and recommend specific products or treatments tailored to your skin type and acne concerns.


Remember, consistency is key when it comes to acne-safe skincare. It may take time to find the right combination of products that work best for your skin, and it's important to be patient and allow your skin to adjust. Additionally, adopting healthy lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress levels, and getting enough sleep, will complement your skincare routine and contribute to clearer, healthier skin.
