YOUR SKIN CARE GUIDE: TREATING ACNE AND BREAKOUTS

Part 1 covered why you may still be getting acne as an adult. What next?

 

>Don’t pop them (seriously)

You hear it all the time, and you know it, but sometimes the temptation is too great to resist. But, it increases the likelihood of scarring and spreads the infection

 

>Don’t use alcohol based/drying products

Many products for oily and acne prone skin have alcohol and other drying products in them. They may feel nice, but they actually irritate the skin and make the problem worse.

 

>Exfoliate with care

Exfoliation is great for the skin, but when you have acne or breakouts, be careful as you don’t want to pop any pimples. This is more of a concern for those who use scrub based exfoliators as opposed to AHA/BHA exfoliants.

 

>Don’t stress

Excessive stress can cause hormonal imbalances which can cause acne and breakouts. Don’t worry, Gensen is here. How does Gensen’s products help treat acne? The onsen (natural hot springs) water we use is from Miyazaki, Southern Japan. What’s special about this particular water has iodine which has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties to help soothe and heal acne as well as discourage the formation of future breakouts.

 

By hydrating with water, your skin will be hydrated without feeling oily which will help balance your skin over time. This means, there’s less oil to clog pores and form pimples. The antioxidants in the soybean and yuzu extract in our serum and moisturiser will accelerate cell renewal which will help fade any acne scars faster!
