Breaking Out

Pimples and breakouts are caused by oil buildup or make-up blocking pores. The main way to minimise breakouts is by removing make-up at the end of the day and cleaning your face. Active ingredients are available that can help with breakouts too.

We recommend that you remove any makeup using an oil based cleanser followed by a standard cleanser. The oil based cleanser is great for removing makeup since makeup is also oil based. If you have a small amount of makeup, then a Micellar Water product may be used instead. A standard cleanser is a soap that can be used to remove oil buildup without being too harsh on your skin. Cleansers like the COSRX facial cleanser contain active ingredients like Salicylic Acid that can help minimise pimples. We recommend cleansing your face 1-2 times per day (morning and evening).

After cleansing your skin it is important to rehydrate your skin otherwise you may experience irritation and dryness. As a minimum we recommend you follow up any cleansing routine with a moisturiser.
