3 simple ways you can treat problem skin

If you’ve woken up to yet another spot, or your face has broken out in a rash you may want to go back to bed and pull the duvet over your head. Often when skin problems arise there is an underlying cause, whether it’s hormonal or the products you’re using irritating your skin, sometimes switching your skincare routine can make all the difference. Here’s 3 simple ways to treat problem skin.

Are blemishes giving you problem skin?

If your skin is prone to breakouts it’s probably because your pores are getting blocked. If you’re using a lot of oils or heavy creams they may be too much for your skin to cope with resulting in a overproduction of spots.

So what can do you do about it?

Products that contain salicylic acid are great for helping to unclog pores and to treat problem skin. Charcoal also works by absorbing excess oil and dirt. If you’re looking for acne prone skincare, try Super Facialist Salicylic acid Anti Blemish Purify and Refresh facial scrub.

Dry skin getting you down?

Dry skin can be so frustrating, especially in winter when it seems to strike the most. When your skin is dry it is lacking in the natural oils and moisture that keep it looking great. Often things like hot showers and central heating can hit the skin hardest and that’s why dry skin is so prominent in winter.

So what can you do about it?

Cleansing the skin with water can rid it of its natural oils and cause problem skin. Use a intensive oil based product which will add to your skin’s natural oil production and help repair dry skin patches. Try No7 HydraLuminous Overnight Recovery cream at night so your skin can repair itself whilst you sleep. You can say bye bye to dry skin flakes on face!

Redness affecting your confidence?

Skin redness often stems from irritation caused by the products you use or the environment you’re in. Often the irritation can be caused by the ingredients in your skincare or makeup products causing a reaction in your skin. This can affect anyone, but mostly those with sensitive skin will suffer the most.

So what can you do about it?

Cleansers that contain a lot of foam can often irritate the skin due to the chemicals the lather can disperse. Use a foam free cleanser that doesn’t use sulphates to avoid unnecessary redness. Try Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk.
