ACNE-PRONE SKIN REGIMEN IN HOUSTON,TX

 

When treating acne-prone skin most people believe the more products the better, however, it's quite the opposite. The more simple your routine is, the more effective it will be. The whole point of a product regimen is to balance the skin. As practitioners, our goal is to find the perfect product recipe for each person. Below is a classic and effective regimen for oily, acne prone skin. ​

​

AM: 

• EXFOLIATING CLEANSER- use a gentle, yet effective morning cleanser to slough off the dead skin from the night (we love the anti-bacterial Simply Clean Cleanser by Skinceuticals)

• MOISTURIZER- use a moisturizer with botanical extracts to protect and leave skin soft without a greasy residue. This will dissolve skin debris that can clog the pores. (hint hint DAILY MOISTURE by Skinceutcals)

• SUNSCREEN- (if needed) use a sunscreen formulated for sensitive & acne prone skin (Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex SPF 50 is our favorite!)

​

PM:

• CLEANSER- use a soapy, bubbly cleanser to remove the dirt, oil, sunscreen, and makeup from the day (Pure Everyday Cleanser by Societe)

• Clear Boosting Pads by Societe - use this everyday.

• ​RETINOL by Skinceuticals- use 3-5x a week. Start on a low dose, then work your way up

• MOISTURIZER- use the same one as your AM

*SUBSTITUTE- if you have more dry skin use a light, oil-free moisturizer in the morning then a more active one at night
